The wife puts at least two mouse traps baited with peanut butter under her Subaru, one at each front wheel. Apparently they like the peanut butter and never make it up into the engine compartment.

Back on its foundation, but needing some repairs.

I am also using a PC and I tried the method you used.

Yesterday I worked on up righting one of my firewood racks that was empty of firewood but had a substantial amount of weight still on it from some items stored on it. High winds over 40 mph knocked it over. Used the tractor to pick it up with some slings off of the bucket hooks and got it...

A beautiful scenery is not enough as it needs to be coupled with the lack of human induced background noise. I have been places where the scenery was fantastic but it was ruined with the constant hum of traffic and other background noise. Right now the cattle are complaining and I can hear...

Yesterday, I took a break from running and doing any work around the house. It had been a busy week since I last took a break. I decided to just take a walk on my usual run and brought my phone to take some pictures. It was a beautiful day. A view from the house toward the valley below to...

I agree that in your case, plywood would be the easiest way to proceed for a top surface.

Just the normal early morning run and working on house projects and some yard work today. Sunday our pickleball club is gathering with a potluck at the courts. Currently we have over 40 signed up to play and eat. Yesterday I took the day off and played golf with my normal foursome. It was...

Hi Jay. It would help if you describe how you plan to use the bench. Is this a neander bench or just a general purpose bench for a powered tool shop?

While I acknowledge that genetics is a factor in how long you live and more importantly how well you can enjoy your old age, I have to think your lifestyle is also important. I have always been physically active not because I was thinking it would make me live longer but because I enjoyed all...

Winter was over and even mud season was done with or so I thought, but we got 5" of snow overnight and it is still falling. Not happy about it and even one of the grouse hens didn't seem too happy about it. As I was going to the kitchen I noticed her out the slider sitting in a tree. And I...

Well, damn! I was never around the pressure tank when the low pressure point was reached. I knew I was close so I pulled the cap off of the pressure switch to watch the contacts and dropped the pressure below 40 psi by opening the nearby valve for the irrigation and the pump started! I...

I was working on installing new inside casings that frame the jack studs on two new sliders but have a well pump problem that I now need to focus on. We had a power outage in the middle of night, 2 days ago and the power was restored only after an hour apparently. Everything seemed find the...

My preferences are for no time changes and to stay on standard time. I prefer to go to bed early and get up early (4:30am to 5:00am), so the less evening light and more early morning light the better for me.

This post is not so much about me getting a 3 plane laser as it is about me not understanding how tool companies are pricing some of their special packages. I bought a M12 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless 250 ft. Green 3-Plane Laser Level Kit with a 4.0XC Battery for Home Depot (online). I was...

The only thing I understood was "dog".

Add my voice to those that have expressed how sorry they are to hear this news. It must have been frightening to you to find out about your wife the way you did.

I didn't watch it as I was busy with other things. Beside, the real Super Bowl was played two weeks ago. ;)

My wife just got a nice check in the mail from the local art gallery. They had wanted some "functional pottery" to display during the holidays. They sold every piece she made for them: mugs, bowls, spoon rests (ladle holders) etc. I am happy that there is someone in the household that has...

We can get too high of winds around here to do that. That along with all the deer trapesing around the place at night. Just my luck one of them would step on it. I have what I believe will be a good mount that I will install on the fascia of one roof and it it will hang over a lower roof...
