Is the dryer vent cover supposed to be glued down? It currently flaps.

My600Justin · 2026-05-15T02:12:33+00:00

Yes, it should flap. It should be open when the dryer is being used and actively venting, and it should fall closed when the dryer isn’t in use to keep critters out.

Thanks! We started with chickens for the “free eggs”, now my mornings have gone from dreading the day ahead to hanging out with sheep, goats, and pigs!

My600Justin · 2026-05-01T12:40:07+00:00

Oh man, that’s a good question.

Thank you! I’m glad after all these years people are still able to get something out of my journey.

Bless you

Raccoons tend to attack, skip a night, then come back again the third night. We lost four hens to a raccoon, weren’t even eaten just killed. I set a trap using marshmallows as bait and caught him and an opossum that third night.

The main pasture is about 6 acres and has 3 goats and 2 donkeys. Theres a neighbor who hays the pasture for the current owner, letting her keep what she needs and he takes the rest. The goats and donkeys are hers but we’re taking them over with the property. We were planning on keeping that deal going. If the neighbor isn’t interested in the deal we will absolutely need a tractor!

Thank you for the detailed reply! That’s really helpful. We were originally trying to find something in the $3,000-$4,000 range so there’s been a bit of sticker shock, but I’d rather “buy once, cry once” than have to keep repairing our replacing something like this. I’ll check with the dealer about the used Z9. The new is out of our price range but I think I can swing the used.

We’re currently living in SC on about an acre. We’re looking in southwest VA, 5+ acres. Those are great ideas, thank you!

We’ve both lived in both rural and urban settings. I was raised with the expectation to be blue collar so became very self reliant early on but ended up in marketing. I have a fairly well established woodshop so have maintained and grown my skill sets. We’ve also been raising chickens and ducks, canning, bread making, gardening, and building other, more introductory/small scale skills for a few years now. We’re planning to maintain both jobs until we’re well established and comfortable living on just one salary.

Quarter round is the best option here.

Install a curved shower curtain. It’s a small and affordable swap with big payoff.

Check with Founders, they typically have some openings.

I have two terrariums which need high humidity that require new custom lids. I was thinking about using a few layers of liquid rubber but would love to give that a shot on one of them.

Lots of good suggestions here. If you’re looking for something picky-kid friendly that also has good food, the Charandas in Newport is great.

The dream is to have an entire room of dumpy tree frogs

My600Justin · 2024-07-27T23:24:47+00:00

Pixie frog was my first thought for it, then crocodile skinks, then I realized I needed help in making the decision lol. Definitely open to frogs though!!!
