If only I had smooth enough ground that I could use my lawn tractor on my pastures.... /forums/images/icons/tongue.gif

I have to stick to my rotary cutter. I could use a flail mower once...

Sure sounds like chipmunks to me.

I still can't access it, something I am doing wrong?

Fortunately, it wasn't anything too awfully creepy.

You were right, Bird, it was rat(s). I put one of the traditional wooden snap-traps up there (baited it with cheese, BTW) and got me a rat. I've...

Well, thanks for the replys folks. I was chatting with one of my neighbors today and he told me that they've been having real problems with rats in the attic lately. He strongly recommended traps -...

I was up in the attic today running a new cable and found something that I didn't expect. One of the issues I have at my house is that it is wood siding and we have woodpeckers. I have yet to find a...

Consumer Reports just did an evaluation of drills. They looked at the dual head one and gave it a thumbs down. I don't remember the details, but do remember thinking that what they said about it made...

You guys *are* lucky. I pay $29 / month for trash pickup, but I have to haul the can to the bottom of the drive. If I forget - well, too bad for me. I suppose the "good news" is that the can is big...

Yup, they have one. I've seen a couple and think about 'em once in a while, but my driveway is only 250' so it isn't that big of a deal for me to haul it down by hand or by tractor. Here's one of...

I'd keep it. I don't use mine often, but it does come in handy. Right now I'm using it to mow an area that I recently seeded - until the grass is fairly mature it is better to keep the heavy lawn...

Turbo Tax is a good program and will work fine for most returns. I'm pretty comfortable with computers but I still use a person (I agree - not the tax guy in the box). I hope to never be audited, but...

Well Pat, I sure wish I could find someone who knows this stuff like you do. We have to replace our central air conditioner (the heater inside is fine, but there is discussion about doing it as well)...

I have a Buck wood stove in my house. I didn't choose it so I have absolutely no attachment to the brand, but it works great. My house is about 2400sqft and it puts out plenty of heat and I can warm...

I thought it was "Home DEPOSIT" /forums/images/icons/smirk.gif

I try to avoid those places - especially for...

The chicken tractor idea is a really good one, but I made a mistake when I tried to build one. I followed a plan I found online, but I didn't follow it exactly. My error was that I built it...

Me, too. I'm pretty sure they are related to the critters that either steal all of my...

Egon, you're absolutely right about the importance of taking a typing course. With backwards hindsight I know that one of the more valuable things I learned in high school was "touch typing", or I...

Pat is right - I've killed more than one tree spraying Roundup around the base. Part of the problem I have is that many of my trees put up shoots (sometimes a ways from the trunk) that absorb the...

Roundup (glysophate) does a fine job killing plants. It doesn't prevent things from growing. There are some mixtures that will both kill and prevent, but they are not (as far as I know) available to...

Well, at least I don't have to figure out what a "slasher" is /forums/images/icons/grin.gif.

Low to mid 50s - brrrrr! We're still enjoying (unseasonal) mid 70s (that would be 22C - 23C). The...

Thank you, sir! /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

Glad you're back home, too.

I have lots of black widows (BWs) where I live. I know when I'm getting near one when I find the web. It is really amazing how much stronger the BW strands are than other spider webs. They make an...

I'm (as usual) chiming in kind of late... /forums/images/icons/blush.gif

Heat pumps are great until you hit temps below about 40ish (as mentioned in some of the other posts). I don't know what...

Bird's (hi there!) reply is probably as good and concise an explaination as you'll find but if you don't know about TBN it is a sister site to this one and has more opinions about everything than...

Getting him started on woodworking is a great idea. Hand tools are the way to begin, especially since it sounds like he'll be learning as he goes. But power tools really make a big difference in how...
