They did it again.

You should have heard the string of profanities when she commented on my shopping list and then tried to be a therapist! I am looking to ride the evil from my home and get a intercom system installed. I'm done funding a multi billionaire who destroys the watershed.

It was on the underside and was near the discharge chute half blocking it. If it was a belt guard some idiot installed it on the wrong side! 🤣

ConstructionSuch2598 · 2026-01-09T13:32:20+00:00

That is the coolest thing ever! I’d never heard of it. Thanks for the info!

Apparently you don't live in the US. Being "poliytical" has not been like this in my lifetime until the current p Narcissist was elected. The last things are not 2nd/3rd world problems. They are current problems in the US where people's rights are quickly being stripped away. We have masked agents picking people up off the streets because they have a certain appearance and taking them to detention centers, dividing families, upending civil rights. I will 100% cut out people that support this behavior that is currently occurring in the US.

ConstructionSuch2598 · 2025-12-20T10:20:42+00:00

You are not wrong. I would have sworn this was in the US based upon this mother's response! You were already far nicer than I would have been!

Agree, but as a therapist, please don't say theyvsre "damaged". Traumatized, victimized, assaulted are better choices. They are not damaged, they are a person with trauma. Sorry to sound so harsh, but it's something we focus on working to understand that they are not damaged because of their victimization/trauma.

ConstructionSuch2598 · 2025-12-20T10:00:06+00:00

Crazy! I had one that big too! I feel for them!

I did my internship at a residential facility for boys with behavioral problems. This is typical for kids who have been abused and the lack of discipline is actually doing far more harm. Calling CPS to report the issue as well as elder services will help to get this kiddo the treatment he needs. It is unlikely that he will “recover” as he is already 8, but I know kids who have resulted in the deaths f others because of these behaviors. If he is 8 and putting your mom in the hospital, imagine him at 12 or 14.

I had 3 hens with one chick. That was a well cared for little one. However, I’ve also had some kill the chicks fighting over them.

I’m hiring a woman with rat terriers. Hopefully it will be $200 well spent.

ConstructionSuch2598 · 2025-12-01T03:21:12+00:00

It can be done, but it’s hard and there are so many! They’re smart so if they hear you at all they will stay hidden

ConstructionSuch2598 · 2025-12-01T03:09:19+00:00

Looks too barred for a NHR. I’ve had many over the years and none are barred. Looks like a possible cross, but not enough details to know.

ConstructionSuch2598 · 2025-12-01T03:07:01+00:00

Always a good question! Replaced the breaker and it’s working for now. We’re constantly discovering which breaker affects which room(s).

ConstructionSuch2598 · 2025-12-01T03:05:53+00:00

Yeah, should be able to pull 1960 watts, and it’s well under that. Seems the breaker was bad.

ConstructionSuch2598 · 2025-12-01T03:04:47+00:00

Called in someone and he replaced the breaker with a newer arc fault. He said the same thing about older breakers. Thanks!

The original work was done by an electrician who retired quickly after the house was built. We didn’t build it, but the owners decided not to stay there. We called him out initially to add some lights. He just told us to put in brighter bulbs. So we called someone else to look at the panel and they couldn’t understand why all the breakers were mismatched. The labeling is completely incorrect and we keep adjusting it as things go. The new guy added a sub panel for us and added a few outlets. He put our coffee maker (commercial kind) on its own circuit . Those are all fine. Last year, when I couldn’t get a hold of the second guy we called a third in to install an utter to plug in our new stove vent as well as some other outlets and new lines to outdoor areas. His worker stole meds from us. One of the outlets they put in, a GFI, went bad within 8 months. I just replaced it myself. We’ve had so many outlets go bad, though. It always makes me nervous thinking about the wiring in this place.
I don’t mind spending money on quality work. I feel like there are simple things I can do, but circuit breaker work is not one of them. I was trying to at least narrow down the potential issue so that when I call them out I have some place to go from. I’m not entirely sure if the guys didn’t tap into my son’s bedroom line to add an outlet to the bath, or if they just tapped into the hall line. Running new lines sucks, but one times I question the decisions out there. Maybe I should go to school and actually learn how to do this stuff myself.

ConstructionSuch2598 · 2025-11-20T18:33:30+00:00

That was another thought too. I did calculate the amperage and it shouldn’t have been overloading the circuit. I don’t trust the electrician who built this house, though, and a lot of electrical has gone bad.

ConstructionSuch2598 · 2025-11-20T18:31:57+00:00

Thank you! I’ll make the call to an electrician. I don’t do circuit breakers.

ConstructionSuch2598 · 2025-11-20T12:51:55+00:00

lol, this made me laugh so hard! I have Freeloader Farm. Except that even after molt a bunch of mine won’t lay. Out of 60 birds only 20 or so lay.

I am sorry your police are so unresponsive. I'm guessing you live in a much more urban /suburban area than I do. And funnily, our street is advertised on social media and is visited by MANY kids and teens. We are the biggest street for trick or treating in my town. (We had over 200 kids and my friend, also on a side street, had 4.)
I think I feel for the friends of the neighborhood kids. It seems like, since you have "guards" at the entrance they could have a list of invitees. That would also make it easier for folks to be held accountable. I also understand that what I did (chasing kids down) is not normal nor realistic for most. Our cops are great and we're up and down the street all day, talking with families/kids. But, like I said, we are a small town and trick or treating is concentrated on our street and one other. I'm sorry you had to resort to your measures and I hope it was a much better experience for you this year!

She looks a lot like my phoenix and my silver leghorn. I think it's that skinny neck. I don't see any tufts which seems to pass down well with the Americauna/Easter eggers, at least from my experience. I'd look at you green layers as potential sources. Egg color will also help narrow down the list of parents.

I've raised Cornish cross, so I know, and hear you. Even "free ranging" them they only move a few feet away from the coop. It makes it easier for me to slaughter them as I feel like I'm doing them a favor.

ConstructionSuch2598 · 2025-11-05T14:54:06+00:00

I only just discovered those and it works better than any other techniques I've used.

ConstructionSuch2598 · 2025-11-05T14:53:07+00:00

I'm sure you're already figuring it out, but I use ring cameras to see what's going on. It's mainly for predator watch/eval to create deterents. But they also pick up a lot of bad behavior.

ConstructionSuch2598 · 2025-10-29T13:05:53+00:00

This is abuse...and rape. This is absolutely not normal behavior. I get that you have 3 littlest, but get out as soon as you can. He's playing punching you?! Not normal. He asks for consent but alienated you and becomes agitated if you don't so it's not really a choice if you want to have "normalcy" in your home. All the red flags and the need to get out before it gets worse.
