    Garter snakes are harmless, but if they nest around your house you could end up with more snakes than you bargained for. I started out fully against eliminating any, but by the third year here I had so many I had to cull the herd, so to speak.

    What Kind of Weeds are These

    I had never seen these before moving to our current home. They are about 10' to 12' tall and the butterflies seem to love the blooms.

    Is My Browser Doing This?

    Seems like whenever a page loads it gets compressed to the left side of the page. I am sure it is on my end because my home computer does not do it. I was wondering what I could do to correct it.

    Legacy Being Discontinued?

    I am putting serious thought to replacing my 20+ year old Sunstar. It needs some major work at the moment and I really don't want to have to spend the money for the repair knowing that I'll probably have to replace the thing in the next few years anyway. I called my local Simplicity dealer to...

    Hey All, After 20+ years my Simplicity Sunstar may be on the way out. Its been a great mower, but has started to nickel and dime me over the last couple of years. A couple of days ago it developed a major oil leak that may have convinced me to send it out to pasture. I...

    Patio/Outdoor Kitchen Project

    This all started about a year and a half ago with the simple idea of building a flagstone patio around our outdoor fire pit. As I went it grew into something much more, and I began to wonder what I had gotten myself into when I decided to take on this project myself. I had never done anything...

    What to do with Bad Gas?

    Please forgive the seemingly stupid question I am about to ask. We recently decided to start driving a car that has sat idle for the last 7 years. Needless to say the gas is no good, we started the vehicle and it ran very badly. I was advised to run the vehicle out of gas, but after a short...

    Land Lease Agreements

    Currently about 4 of the 33 acres we own are leased out to a local farmer. He pays us $50 per acre, per year, for the lease. This lease was in place with the prior owner, and when we bought the place I verbally told the farmer that we would continue for now with the arrangement that they had...

    My War on Poison Ivy

    Last summer I had my first unpleasant experience with poison ivy. Call me naive but I had never imagined that the vines and the leaves could be so large. Before that experience I had never had a rash due to poison ivy. I never thought that I was immune to it, I just stayed away from it. Last...

    Slip Clutch Adjustment

    I recently had to replace the hub on the slip clutch of my 38" Simplicity rototiller. The casting was broken and looked like it had been cracked for some time. It looked to me like the original crack allowed the shaft key to "roll", this in turn widened the crack and broke the casting. I have a...
