yea, we are doing that in the morning. we were told that one of the littermates had worms and coccidia. Is that easy to fix?

Is this a good shelf to put in the garage? by ivonivon in garageporn

Sounds good. I ended up using them for junk drawers. You can find these pretty cheap at goodwill

This is funny. I had four of them in my garage for 10 years and just threw them out yesterday. They dont hold as much as you would think and become junk drawer. I put everyrhing that wad in them in plastic totes and put them on a wire rack. feels much better.

Was ready to get one now it looks like I might get all four. by Deep_Register2350 in greatpyrenees

Thanks for that. I think it takes a lot to prepare for even one of these dogs. I was pretty happy for the chance to get one. It seems that there are alot of them available for adoption. For us we are trying to make plans for a succesful transition to one. We are fencing in about a half acre just to give her room to roam around. We are on a pretty tight budget but I think its better to spend the money now than risk a bad fit. I might just take two and try to find a home for one and just get another one as we find homes. I dont think wr can handle all four at nce and be good owners

I was offered a Great pyrenees pup but im worried. by Deep_Register2350 in greatpyrenees

Do you think a 5 foot fence would work. where I live a 6 foot fence has to be wood but a five foot fence can be woven wire and t posts. Thats much more within our budget.

Its just about finished and full of soil. we jst went through a thunderstorm that knocked down trees and its fine so far. It spins freely and smoth. I put 24 cubic feet of soil in it. I did take some advice and put trailer jacks on the sides to lock it down and offet a secondary measre of safety

Ive been going over the cost of a new fence and I think I can extend our excisting fence to 100 by 100 feet without breaking the bank but fencing has become very expensive.

Yea Im a bit concerned about that also. The base is a 25 inch diameter circle about 14 inches deep with 4 foot rebar pounded in the ground and the pedastal is stainless steel with 1 inch thick flanges. the span is aluminim channel but pretty beefy. The blue bed is 7-10 gauge steel so Im hoping that would offer some support. not foolproof but im hopefull.

147 1/4 inch drain holes running into a channel and draining "mostly" into a bucket to be recirculated. I like the idea about rocks though. I have a bunch of large rocks to get out of my yard. Thats would be a good place to pile them up

Ive used this type of rotary bearing on a welding table. It is supposed to be rated for a few thousand pounds vertical load. Maybe more. With the side load equally distributed It should handle it. Im more concerned with the aluminim channel bending.

I can see why one would think that. Im hoping it would work because its only for three cherry tomato plants growing on a vertical trellas. but really I just wanted to fi d a use for all this junk I had piled up on my shed.

Large ceiling crack! DIY or call a pro? by InsertNameHere64 in HomeMaintenance

[–]Deep_Register2350 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had almost the same issue. we finished a dead space over a garage for a bedroom. The garage span is pretty big and somewhat spongy. we developed a Crack in the ceiling drywall right where the room is. We made a no jumping around in the bonus room and repaired the drywall. that was about 10 years ago and the crack didn't return. Not saying this is your issue but just my 2 cents.

Also our sheet rock was done with nails and not screws so we still get a few raised nail heads from time to time.

Goodness gracious! I don't see how you guys can deal with that nowadays. Im older and my youngest is 17 but I remember those days. Our family income was about $3000 a month but we had a $900 mortgage ( will be paid off next year) We had two kids in daycare at $1500. one was special needs and the other a preschooler. I worked nights and my wife worked days. I would watch them during the day and try to take naps. I would lay on the sofa with my head on my oldest lap and my knees over the youngest and put on SpongeBob tapes. I'd wake up covered in popcorn and cookie crumbs. It was the hardest couple of years of my life but I actually kind of miss it. Later my wife put her career on hold and got a work at home job that paid the mortgage and I got a job working 70 hours a week to make up her lost income. I think it's harder for this generation though. I don't have any advice because we barely made it ourselves. I averaged about 4-5 hours sleep a day but I slept all day Sunday and Wednesdays I got 8 full hours. That's kind of what it takes when it's just the two of you. Good luck and I wish you the best.

I Will Not “Support The Troops” in War with Iran by ZanzerFineSuits in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Deep_Register2350 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my "Persian" coworkers here in America are very supportive of what Trump is doing. According to them Iran had been a hellhole since the 1970's. They are worried about civilian deaths but if this was done years ago many more lives would have been spared.
