I have aspirations. Actually, I just like the hunt for unique items. Hay fork has been on my mind for a while. No idea why. I have a manure fork (many tined too) that works great on the wood chips for mulch and bedding. This was a purchase (OMG!) 2 decades ago for pine straw. Can't believe...

Crazy Lady brought home a terrier something. That bitch would tunnel under the ocean. I came home from work and was told that "WE" were going to have puppies. :rolleyes: I thought "WE" had decided not to. She taught all of them to dig. I had chain link laying in front of the chain link to...

If I could have stomached it, there were piles of "good" compost sitting in that pile. The aluminum is scrap value here and the oven racks were more valuable. I'm surprised that I wasn't asked to leave due to health concerns. Yuck. I've read about those garden sprays. The nicotine is a...

They are useful. A museum will pay good money for that junk in another hundred years. Just like all the "collectable" stuff my room mate drags home. You just have to wait a hundred years and then find a buyer. I can't believe what the old Nintendo and "first home computers" are worth today...

I do have my limits. The oven racks were worth it. I'm on the hunt for an old swing set for a yard porch swing. Several have come up, but I figure it will take me a day to disassemble. Then I need a helper to load. Drag it home and unload. There are some nice swing sets on craiglist that...

We went to a garden sale/fund raiser and wound up with a Moringa. I keep trying to order seeds and now have a growing specimen. May have seeds myself in a few years. Or need another specimen to experiment on. :rolleyes: Seeds are expensive. Fund raiser plants are MORE expensive. Gotta...

And don't forget, you look so adorable in rolled up hand me downs! LOL. We go to Goodwill store way too often. I've gotten a couple expensive, German made kitchen knives and a few cast iron pieces. Nice furniture that I don't have space for. The Re-store is 50 minutes away and closes at 5...

Y'all are missing the point. There is a lack of communication between the species. Both are mostly intelligent, but misunderstandings abound. Dogs are smart in dog ways. We just fail to understand or train. For example, herding cats.

Silver is the new black. I'm sure you are stunning! I prefer all natural. No artificial dyes or flavors. LOL. I don't like hair cuts, so I can't imagine sitting in a chair for an hour for a dye job.

We are hiring college graduates. Training and doing good things exposing them to the real world. Then one day, I realize these kids are younger than mine. Yes, sir. No, sir. Three bags full... I prefer the "yes, sir" to the "yo, dude!" or "hey! Buddy!" I was also told by the new...

@Nyboy too funny. Even "educated" doctors can be short sighted and bigoted. Great come back. I would have asked how many she had known. Not met, but known. Also, sounds like she had terrible bed side manner. No wonder you didn't like her. I put up a 2' wire fence to discourage the dogs...

Trying to determine where to place the new compost heap. Would rather not add the coop collection to the flight cage. That and it gets hot. Looking at the year old pile, I have 3 onions, 2 potatoes and a squash volunteering. Is it worth transplanting? All these were from kitchen scraps...

Beautiful dogs indeed. Jake (#1) raised our kids. He was a great babysitter. Lost him at 7 unfortunately. Sky and Sparky (#2 & 3) we couldn't keep in the yard. Out the door, over the fence and down the street. They had learned how to climb at the breeders and when returned, she put lids on...

That sounds hilarious. Yes, very sharp keel. Sideways, hmmm. Thank you for sharing. These are numbers 4 & 5 for the Crazy Lady. She is already talking about #6. Argghh! Beautiful dogs! Red prances when we walk. Very proper. Son has taught Red to stand up and put her paws on your...

Yes, Red is a Borzoi. Quite mischievous. Liked going for runs over the 6 foot wooden fence. Getting out of the kennel until we roofed it. We kept her on leash for a couple of years. She has settled down finally and hasn't breached the kennel fence to the parrots. Her brother is slightly...

They are funny when they run. Flap, flap, waddle, waddle!

I found the T posts on craigslist for $2.50. It seems with Houston as large as it is, there are a lot of people looking for deals. Got to be quick. The other thing is that all the stuff I might be interested in is an hour away. On the OTHER side of Houston. I did find a local source of...

Lowe's has the 5' tall, Red Brand, Woven wire horse fence. Item # 89896 Model # 70314 100 feet for $170. I'm fencing off a 50'x40' corner of the yard for this attempt. Reviews? Comments? Donations? I'm glad that this is just a hobby. This is getting expensive.

I have some plastic (1 pint?) pots that the wife's flowers came in. I filled with store bought dirt and seeded zucchini, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, Jalapenos, banana peppers thyme. We have a bunch of 4" (1 pint) clay pots for some strange reason that are up next. Didn't think about starting...

@baymule welded versus woven wire? Crap, what is at Lowes? Welded? Haven't bought anything yet. Didn't think I'd get this far this fast. Let's see. I've got a Tractor supply, Lowe's and Home Dept in the same spot and several hardware stores. Ace, McCoy's and Hill's. What should I ask...
