    Bird Repellent?

    I wish they would come to my barn. I enjoy them, just not at the house. I see them flying in the evenings but i don't know where they nest

    Bird Repellent?

    I had a simialr problem on my back porch where I have lights and a ceiling fan. I hung bird netting from one end to the other, low enough the ceiling fan would not get hung up. Bird netting is cheap. The netting was also NOT tight, I left it kind of sagging. After 3 years I was able to take...

    a little project yesterday whipped my wrinkled ol butt.

    Have you ever heard of a pier and beam house? Its the same concept only much deeper, bigger and stronger. 12 years ago when we build our house it would have added $50,000 to the cost. Now, it would be closer to $100,000. Just for the slab.

    a little project yesterday whipped my wrinkled ol butt.

    There are several ways to build foundations in Texas but the most common is called a floating slab. It literally floats as the ground expands and shrinks. The proper soil has to be placed around the floating slab and often has to be trucked in. It must be soil tested at an engineering lab...

    Vineyards and sheep?

    Geese? I never would have thunk it. Ok, so sheep are out. Too bad because sheep and goat manure serves as a great fertilizer. And Fence, I will be calling you in a few months. After we close on the property we are buying.

    Vineyards and sheep?

    Does anyone here have a vineyard? I am looking at planting a commercial vineyard and other growers who are not livestock people said that they spend an insane amount of time mowing between the trellises. I was wondering if sheep could be used to control the grass once the vines are mature?

    Drought relief?

    A friend of mine who lives between Brenham and Round Top got 3" on Monday night. The new system coming in this weekend could bring 3-6" of rain between Houston and Dallas. Ag New Network said most likely east of I45 but could drift west to I35. Please dear Lord, bring some rain to your...

    Petrified tree

    I'm not too far from you, in Milam County. A friend of mine in Brazos County has some property on the west side of Bryan in which there were 2 complete petrified tree trucks, about 20 feet long. One was broken in 2 section and one was in 3 sections. Big tree sections like what you have are...

    Evidently life's cheap here on the San Jacinto and for a blue duck no exception

    It's a mallard cross hen. Mallards routinely mate with other ducks. Not sure why she upped an died.

    How the Amish handle covid

    They have it right - don't trust the government, public schools, and what's the point in health care without family? Makes me want to go join them - God's plan for everything. And, might as well die if we can't work.

    Anyone ever bought anything from Alibaba?

    Thank you for the correction.

    Anyone ever bought anything from Alibaba?

    No it is not China's Amazon. Alibaba makes Amazon look like a corner 5 and Dime store. They are hands down the largest retailer in the world. What Amazon is to the family, Alibaba is to entire industries. Sorry greybeard, but I do not know the answer to your question. I did buy something...

    Hiring sign.

    greybeard - you are absolutely right! Especially when they all have knives! I see what the owner was getting at but I think they could have used better word choices and conveyed the same message which is if you want more money than minimum wage you will have to prove it up. The better you...

    Farm Bureau

    I almost forgot - the first bill ALSO removes the step up exemption from estate taxes and decreases the estate tax threshold. PLEASE while your reps at home for the August recess, hammer them to not pass this!! Especially if you have a democrat rep!

    Cargill buys Sanderson Farms for $4.5 billion

    Since they are supposedly employee owned, I wonder how those line workers are going to fare with this deal? Will they get the profit?
