What home improvement work did you do today?

We could, it'd be a short field tho. But I'm too out of shape to play on a full field anyway lol. Its about 200' from my back porch to the pond

 

Hell, we'll park the tundras in the front yard. Got about 150' from house to road. Might even make it drive in style and play a movie haha

 

See, that's what I'm talking about!!!

 

That’s enough for me. I’d die on a full field. So would the rest of my team I think.

 

So plenty of room if I decide to bring my travel trailer?

@TaquitoBandito , I can't remember, were we doing the trailer thing or just plundering lodging as we go?

 

I believe we were going to plunder lodging until we hit the igloos and then the plan was to use the travel trailer.

 

I figured you guys would use my house as a FOB.

 

Definitely but we need a place in the states for the pre-invasion rally. Got to give speeches and shit.

 

Good idea. Do you have room for me to park my trailer? Even if we don't end up staying in it, it could be used to haul back our riches of victory like Cheezies and special Kit-Kats.

 

If I don't hear a speech that begins with "4 score and 7 years ago...." or "Strange and impressive associations rise in the mind of a man from the New World who speaks before this august body..." I'm going to be really disappointed.

Sure. Park wherever you want. You are invading after all.

 

Both very good points.

@TaquitoBandito We should plan ahead and write up a speech. Are you good at writing inspirational stuff like that? Me, not so much, I could ask my wife to help.

 

Most definitely. I will need to lock myself into my office for a few days with a bottle of cognac, a pound of pulled pork, a box of green M&M's, and 3 adult diapers.

 

@OV-1794 i put these in... They were in an end-cap display when I bought them. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Veranda...tual-3-5-8-in-x-3-5-8-in-2211-F32T3/303879524

 

Whatever it takes. Greatness sometimes requires sacrifice.

 

Ran out of screws rebuilding my gate and fence to my patio. Metal fence was to keep the dogs in the back yard ask had it opened up for the day. There are old steel girders that was used for the old fence that I reused for vertical support as they have to be cut off otherwise. Still figuring out where to cut the posts at.

 

You guys realize Andy is in Louisiana, right? I'm thinking staging for a Canadian Invasion you might want to do a little farther north?

 

Yeah, I was distracted when I wrote it. I thought Tom was talking about your property (although the abundance of trees should have clued me in). But then I thought Louisiana would be fun starting point and Andy seems like a good guy... Plus we could strap some gators to our truck hoods and give the Canadians a good scare when we are coming for their beer, Kit Kats, Snickers, and Cheezies.

 

True. Not much staging at my place. But there are a few hay fields just up the road a ways.

 

If they made thr trip, I was gonna do my best to house them up lol

 

We'll have to stop, let the gators stretch their legs, and maybe get a pee break in. This could work.

 

Don't you go injecting logic into this plan.

Maybe we are going to take the scenic route.

 

Replace them with these...

 

Thanks, looking for some copper post caps for a new garden fence I’m just about finished building.

 

@alee891 I feel you. Trenched for the electrical, all ran and terminated in prep for the concrete this week. I hired someone for the concrete as it would take me more time than I wanted. Should be all poured by mid next week. Then turf, some compacted dg, pergola, house painted, shit never ends...

 

Same. Right as everything hit last year I bought two of them, thinking it'd help me with toilet paper. It did, but honestly I'll never own a toilet w/o one again. Saves on TP, better for the environment, more sanitary.

 

The hits keep coming on this house we just bought. Anyone have experience with ponds? It seems we have a leak. I keep having to add water.

Is it safe to assume I should turn the pump off if it gets too low? I figured it might hurt the pump if it's not getting enough water. I can't even imagine what it would cost to put a new liner in.

 

How much, how often, and what's the humidity? Hot, dry, days can evaporate a bit of water especially with yours running down the rocks.

 

Also if you've got the room to do it a bucket test might give you some more info. This is for a pool but the same applies.

It's been extremely mild here. High's between 65-75 since this started. I added water last night and had to run the hose again today for 30 minutes. I'm curious how long these liners are good for, from historical aerials this pond has been here at least 14 years. I'll try the bucket test. I assume it doesn't have to be a 5 gallon bucket?
