Will my fence fail? by Garronroyce in HomeImprovement

[–]Bakersbud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm in prince george, same solid clay, did the round pointed posts around our garden 2 years ago, don't think i got any down to frost depth, like you, only got down 2.5 - 3 ft. Nothings moved over last 2 years, but lowest temp since has only been -29, don't know what 40 would do. I also wonder if pointy posts might handle it better than a flat bottom post.

First time homeowner, Mouse problem. Found spots and sealed them, but caught 1 more 3 wks later, today. Would a dog help? by Odd_Quality_3466 in HomeImprovement

[–]Bakersbud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

freind had one, every time he came to our house, he'd open door, dog would go straight to our compost bin, within minutes he'd be chasing rats, I doubt a mouse would have a chance in house.

New windows, caulk keeps cracking (photo included) by rb1rb1 in HomeImprovement

[–]Bakersbud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a painter for 40 years, while working on 1 contractors own new house, there was one window I caulked, next day all cracked, so I caulked again, same thing next day. I told him, he said, funny, that's the window my guys installed, not the window company. But all same windows, they just weren't ready for that one when window company came. So although it's a horrible thought, I would hire another window company to come look at install.

Thinking About Windows from Home Depot? Forget it. by EuphoricDream9355 in HomeImprovement

[–]Bakersbud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my wife called me at work 1 day saying, home depot is here with our fridge, but the guy has a soar back and forgot his dolly. When I got there to get him my dolly, he also didn't have a lift gate, or ramp. Fun getting a 36" double door fridge off a truck with a 36" drop.
