    Dani, I don?t know if you remember my post from years ago but carpenter ants love brown cork too. Their work is quite a conversation starter.

    Finally bought it...

    Steve, the AT portion is rocky and rough for a hiking trail. The trail kinda scrambles over big granite boulders. The summit plane is covered with trails wandering around but the actual summit is marked by the iconic sign. I haven?t done the knife edge but gather it?s airy. I?ve seen people rock...

    NDR Barn Renovation

    Its is all locally sawn doug fir. Its green so I have to let it dry, but the first 2 logs I had on hand so sawing it was $0.45/bd foot. It was cheaper than any other alternative. It only made sense to repurpose it rather than just stabilize it.

    NDR Barn Renovation

    Its been a busy year, and I am late in providing an update on the barn restoration. If you remember, last year we lifted the barn and cut off the rotten posts, removed the rotten sills and stone piers. We replaced then with concrete footers and sills. This barn is 120 years old and I am hoping...

    CCL surgery in Labrador

    I had a lab blow out his CCL about 10 years ago. He was a big 95 lbs. guy. We had TPLO done. Not cheap, rehab took a few months. Vet warned he would likely do other knee but never blew out that knee. If the dog is young and active then I would repair it. But if the dog is older or retired...
