If its free I'd let someone do it. I had DirectTV installed about 8 years ago on my old house. Never had any problems. When I moved, I bought a new receiver and dish and installed it myself. Once...

We have a Simmons backsaver mattress. Its a real thick mattress, making the bed real tall. But it is a fabulous mattress. Soft, just the way I like it. But very supportive at the same time. The...

The dead giveawy is the trashy job site. You should make them redo this work, as it is substandard.

I grew up in the home construction business - my Dad was the owner. Back then our crew...

I can't answer many of your questions, but we have 2 ducks we raised from ducklings, and I built a 3 by 5 duck house that we put them in every night. We actually had 3 ducks, but one night we...

I got lucky and caught one of our ducks in flight to the middle of the pond tonight while we were getting them into their duck house.

This snake was in the doorway tonight. He is only about 2 feet long and looks like most of the snakes we see in our tank (pond), about 200 feet away. Can anyone identify him? Think maybe a Texas...

Fax, consider access to the well by service equipment. I made a mistake in the placement of my well. Its behind the house up on the high bank of the creek, but after it was drilled we came and did...

Our water table has apparently always been pretty low, because you can dig all you want and won't get water, with some exceptions of course. My creek is probably 25 deep to the bottom from the level...

As Bird said, all of our tanks are fed by runoff. If you dam up a river, that there is a lake.

I have an acre tank on my property it stays full just from runoff, mostly off of my property. When...

Andy, its a good thing I didn't set a limit of 20 minutes commute from my property. From my office I can go about 5 miles in 20 minutes, and I'm still in the middle of Dallas. But in an hour or so...

I am happy for the crawdads in my tank (pond). They don't burrow far enough to do real damage to the dam I don't think, and they are a great food source for my bass and channel cat. In fact, we had...

I'm not a farmer, I'm a CPA. My experience is what I see. Of the clients I have, and have had, those with part-time farming and ranching operations ALL lose cash money almost every year. I don't...

<font color="blue"> I use some electric fence tape, secure one end at the edge of the pond and walk around the pond holding the other end. You can heard the ducks right out of the water that way...

We lost one of our 3 ducks this week ourselves. they were marching right into the duck house every night on there own, but the routine apparently got messed up when we took on a grown 4th duck. One...

Do you have a lot of chickens get eaten by coyotes?

By the way, I put some extra floor joists under that Duroc board since it us doesn't have the give plywood has, and migh break if you step in the middle of an unsupported floor. I think I put joists...

Yea, thats my B2710 in the background.

The duck house is 3' by 5', designed around the size of concrete board (Duroc) for the floor. I got 2 cedar 4 by 4 posts and cut each into thirds - about...

You're a good pet owner. I thought the $2300 we spent on Fudge's back surgery was pretty steep. Its amazing what the vets can do nowadays.

I prefer not turning them as long as there are no symptoms. There are only so many turns in a rotor - why waste one you don't need?

Larry, I don't think its normal for it to leak any quantity of chain oil. Seems like I fill the oil resevoir when I fill it up with fuel. I'm sure there is some "leakage" but not enough to drain...

I have a Husqvarna 141 with a 16" bar. Very good, reliable saw.

Here is the incomplete duck house, with the roof opened up.

Here's the duck house I'm building. Its 3' by 5', with a duroc (concrete board) floor. The posts and roof trim are cedar, but everything else is 2 by 4 stock I had laying around.

The roof is on...

Thanks, the 5-gallon bucket deal sounds like a good idea. I can't believe how fast these critters have grown. Here they are tonight.

Our clay soil wouldn't perk either, so we put in an aerobic septic system. There are quite a few of these in Texas, and it works just fine. Basically, everthing goes into a series of tanks that has...
