I can't get in either, must be a South Bend thing!?!

Not much of a movie-goer but I do have a particular favorite...

<font color="blue"> The Blues Brothers </font color>

The recently released DVD has some great interviews and details behind...

Yeah, I'm thinking mutant as well. The colorations you describe could be a hormonally raged bluebird trying his best to attract a mate but the eating habits are odd. Bluebirds will most definitely...

I did finally get the Indigo Bunting, attached.

Could the elusive x-bird be a barn swallow? Northern Parula (a warbler), Blue Grosbeak, Lazuli Bunting (western version of Indigo), Painted...

Here's a pic of an Eastern Bluebird that dropped by our feeder this evening. I saw an Indigo Bunting but he wouldn't cooperate for my camera. No rust color on the bunting for sure.

Could it be an Indigo Bunting Pat? We had one at our feeder the other day but it flew before I could get a picture. Very deep, irridescent blue in color. I don't recall the underside but I thought...

Hi Joe, I have the same filter in our new house (actually, just outside of it /forums/images/icons/grin.gif ). Our old house did not have one and that may have been the reason we had to pay some...

We pull a fifth wheel camper behind our F250 4X4. As it sits higher than a 4X2 we had the trailer raised for more clearance. This is common for campers, not sure for livestock trailers. All they...

Excellent tip Dog. I've got one starter ("chimney") in our camper and a much larger one at home. I really like the larger one, it's a Weber with cool touch handle and all ...

Sounds much like us. Our first house was a typical subdivision house built by a typical large builder. We tried to be involved but they just worked around us.

This time around we used a much...

Hi Brent and welcome to CBN! Where in SW Michigan? That consumers concrete truck looks familiar, we used them for some footings last summer. We built in Edwardsburg a couple years back.

Have...

Here's an update shot. I ended up with a poured footer with two rebar in it. Got the block and some brick up last fall and am just now finishing the rest. Here's a shot as of last weekend.

On the...

Outstanding John! I'm drooling all over my keyboard. I did a six pounder like that last fall. Was yummy for sure /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Found an interesting discussion on the topic here /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

We have candle lights in each window of the house (year 'round). I have them all on X-10 with a photocell contoller. A second controller in the master bedroom allows us to turn them off at bedtime....

Growing up my dad fought Pileated woodpeckers on our cedar siding. Incredible the damage the birds could do. Turns out all they wanted was the bugs (mostly carpenter bees). We treated for bugs and...

Another option for you Fred is to head on down to your local landscape nursery. Don't bother with the big box stores, find a locally owned/operated place. Grab a cup of coffee and just have a chat...

I burned a pile last fall that included some pallets so I had nails to clean up. Got a hand held magnet from HF (looked like a golf club). It worked fine but you had to work it through the material...

Must be an awful lot of rocks you put in the bucket Egon. You've got that tractor standing on it's head /forums/images/icons/shocked.gif

I have no ideal about the health issues Nelson, but if your paper came from my office your chickens would soon start clucking in three-letter-acronyms, laying cubicle-shaped eggs and begin discussing...

It depends on what's underneath it Eddie. If you have a lot of organic stuff (topsoil) it will always hold water and the crush will eventually be pushed down into it. Best bet is to remove the...

Did once, just for fun. My saw wasn't precise enough for my liking. Ever watch The Woodwrights Shop on PBS? Roy Underhill does it all the time and makes it look relatively easy.

Oh yeah, I...

We had our master bath cabinets set at kitchen counter height and it's been great. Best move we made in the house by far. I'm 6'1" but my wife is only5'4". She still likes the taller vanities ...

Thanks Hank. I can make it any height I want as I'm not strictly tied into cabinet heights but I wanted a starting point anyway. Also good to know I can use eight foot 2Xs and get two studs out of...

Good morning all,

I'm working on phase II of my basement finishing project. I'm planning a bar/counter/workspace and have a question about the height. I will use normal base cabinets on the...
