Hi, I want to buy a compost bin that will keep out roaches etc, as opposed to an open bin made of pallets for example. Our household generates a reasonable amount of waste - vegetable and fruit peels, some egg shells, and maybe some fruit and vegetable which are going bad. Currently I have...

Ok so here are some updates and thoughts based on the comments posted here. I am also posting some pictures of the weeds that we have along fences within the property (i.e not the fence between our and other properties, but internal fences) and also weeds in areas which are too narrow to use...

Ok so staying in single digits for snake sightings these past few months, I called the HVAC guy to my house. He opened up the compressor and found this snake inside.... Of course he did not complete the job, it was right inside and then hid for a bit. Is this a copperhead? On a related note...

Hi, How is everyone enjoying the summer? Today I finally got tired of my trimmer, it was one I got from a Sears stor, 30cc, 4 cycle, uses gas, Craftsman brand I think. It is barely used, but has given me a lot of issues. The fan broke, and I think the pull string got loose etc. The problem...

Hi, Thank you for the advice. Here is one snake we recently saw, someone working outside on the property killed it. It was gobbling up small rabbits and one of the Dogs on the property was very curious about the snake luckily it did not get bit. Does anyone know what type it is?

Hello dears, I have a quick question for you. We are planning to plant maybe 50 or so young trees, mostly fruit, some flowering, plants and some seeds/root stock on our land once it is in a reasonable shape. The issue is that we do have Deer and other wildlife, big and small, visit, and are...

Hello, How is everyone doing? It has been long since I posted here, you know, the hurricane happened and then in laws etc. We sent the New Holland 3930 to the local New Holland/Kubota dealer because we could not find a good independent dealer. The dealer of course wanted to put a new...

Hello, Me again. So, now that our household is growing and our land is clear we need to start thinking about fire safety and safety in general. We live on a residential farm in North Houston, Texas, proximal to other similar properties. But it would take 20 mins for a fire truck to get to our...

Hello, It looks like we are also ready to upgrade our front gate, to a real motorized gate, and some design surrounding it. One of our friends has something like this We also want a structure like this surrounding the gate, but we want something a bit more unique, and maybe a better...

Hello, It looks like the Father in Law and family want a shed/storage building to store the tractor, zero turn mower, UTV, and tools. etc. We have a small acreage property, so do have some space to utilize. I was told he wants a shed two stories high, and that it should be prefab? I guess...

Hello, I need to replace the ALTERNATOR in my New Holland 3930 tractor. I have tried two brand new 950CCA Interstate batteries and both of them have lost cells, i.e. they are losing charging power I believe, after few weeks of use each. Luckily I replaced one under warranty. I was told the...

Hello, One repair boy came by to change the hydraulic hoses on our New Holland 3930 tractor, boy, were they expensive :( He makes the hoses out of his truck, I guess he has spools of them in there. He told me he could change the blades, stump jumper and bolts (shoulder type) on our old, used...

Hello, The weekend is almost here! It looks like we need a new Brush Hog/Mower whatever they are called for our used New Holland 3930 tractor. We bought it used and the JD mower, model 513 I believe, was not good, it was broken from the blades, and my FIL is having a hard time getting it out...
