I was going to have the porch ceilings painted blue when we built until I saw what the Russian Notty Pine looked like. Wife and I thought it to pretty to paint so we seal coated it instead. Looks real nice. I don't have a whole lot of trouble with them, usually 1 pair will try to nest. I'll...

I used a shank renovator back in the day when diesel was $1.50 - 2.00. Stopped that nonsence when it hit $4+. In this blackland prarie, mother nature does a way better job. 4 weeks without rain in July the ground starts to crack. By 3 months those cracks can be 2 inches wide and 4-5 foot deep.

$15 and 10 minutes (if they aren't busy) gets one fixed here. Or drop it off and pick it up later.
