Goat in a car reminds me of a funny story. Many years ago a friend of mine hit a deer with his chevette. Thinking the deer was dead, he and another friend loaded it into his back seat. Only after they were up to highway speed did the deer decide that it wasn't dead at all. Terry, my friend, was...

Congrats Lavender! It looks beautiful. I can't wait to get to the point where I can concentrate on gardening again. I already have my heart set on a dedicated garlic bed.

That sounds about right for labor rates. It's the same here. Replacing the entire harness is worth the money for labor. There is no way that was any fun. Good call on having a licensed electrician do your electric work. Your insurance company would freak out if something were to go wrong later...

I don't know if they can interbreed or not Nyboy. I would imagine it would be very dangerous for the rat snake. A King Snake can, and will, kill and eat other snakes. I'm certain that this was a Black Rat snake. Like I said, I could see the remains of it's juvenile pattern. I don't how many...

Glad to hear you got it back Bay. Sorry to hear the problem was caused by ignorance. Why do people do that? A little solder and a piece of heat shrink tubing would have prevented the whole mess. I found similar stupidity down at the new place the other day. The previous owners used to have a...

That's a Black Ratsnake in the pic. I could still see some of the juvenile pattern in it. I've found numerous shed skins over there, including under the floor. The largest I have found so far was well over 6' long. That one might have been an Eastern Black King Snake though, it's hard to tell...

Todays update: I see Dew posted some pics. I'm glad she got one of my little helper on the fence. BTW, that's a 5-1/2 foot black snake. It was big for it's age. It was still showing pattern, so it can't be too old. It was allowed to pass on it's way to the back yard and beyond. Today, I didn't...

Todays update: I am on vacation this coming week. The boss wasn't thrilled, but he would rather loose me for a week than loose me forever. I got a good jump on the house today. I got up at 5:00am and had my coffee, chomping at the bit to get busy. By 7:00am I couldn't wait any longer. It was...

It's been a week! What did the Dr. say???

Well??? What did the Dr. say?

AhHa! That's a +1. And Burnt Orange is a color that isn't white! Who says I have no color fashion sense?

You must be right Bay. Every time the neck walks by, my head turns! That cute little sassy peach ;)

Over the top, Moi? I'm sorry, but I can't allow a difference of 1/8" between floor levels. I already took care of it anyway. I scabbed onto the existing joists and elevated the new joist 1/8" for a nice flush floor. it may not matter under a carpet floor with heavy padding, but it will under the...

Many years ago we were at a pig roast at a friends house. There was a huge hill with a ramp at the bottom where some of the guys were riding their quads down and jumping the ramp. Somehow, one of our daughters drug a big wheel to the top of that hill, and before anyone could stop her, down she...

Are you kidding Bay? I still remember "The Great Sweet Pickle Debacle of 2014". :lol::lol:

I hope all goes well for you Red. Neighbors like that are a PITA. I'll cook, but it'll have to be brisket. I'm too busy to stand over a grill all day.

That's terrible news Bay. I guess Burnt Orange and Ol' Sparkey are out too. Never fear, the Dr. will make it all better.

Hey Major, at our age any spark is a good one...unless your a tractor of course... Latest remodel update: I pulled the carpet from BR1 to fix the floor. I really hate mobile homes. The floor is 7/8" particle board. Of course, you can't just run out and buy 7/8" anything. That 1/8" difference...

Big delivery coming tomorrow. Carpet, vinyl, cabinets (yes I broke down and bought uppers too :D). Of course they weren't supposed to deliver until Sunday morning, but they called Dew today and said they would be here tomorrow. The electric company is twisting my chain. They were supposed to...

Dew shot down my first color choice. It was NOT white...it was Winter Dawn, the little color tab thing said so. :D And after deciding on a new sink, range hood and a few other items, I figured we better wait on new uppers for the kitchen. The cabinets that are there are fine, but will look...
