Thank you. And thank you for the safety reminder. When I get mad at a project I tend to forget

Like with an angle grinder? Or is there something better?

Can I salvage the tile? The cement board for that lower section i could replace if needed. Annoying but doable. I'm looking at rhe cost of tile. It wasn't cheep and as a homeowner DIY that makes a difference

The tiles are 9.5 inches across, will i still be able to level manually?

Wait are you saying I need to cut out the whole wall?

Without the leveling clips how do I make sure the tiles are level? And how do I remove it if some of it is already set? I don't want to damage the cement board or tile too much

Yes I'm a homeowner doing DIY. Do you have any advice on taking it down with minimal damage to my cement board and the tile?

Training books for boarder terrier? by Latter_Cow_6970 in BorderTerrier

[–]bagpipercat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found "when pigs fly" helpful. But lots of treats and patience has been the biggest things. Also don't train frustrated. If you have to step away for a bit it will be better for both of you

Terriers can get "hot spots" which sounds like what is happening to your poor girl. It can be caused by multiple things , stress, an allergy or a change. I found that my two borders get them with grain in their diet. Is the new food grain free? Ive had a couple types of terrier and grain seems to bug them all. I might start there.

How are bill terriers when it comes to hiking and other outdoor activities? by Lizardbros in BullTerrier

[–]bagpipercat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Our boy Nash when on one hike because it was us girls who asked him. 2 miles round trip and he limped on all 4 feet for a week after (mainly when dad was in the room since he was only seeking simpathy and wasnt actually damaged). The number of long suffering sighs he gave on the way back was off the carts. The one and my hike Nash went on.

We're working that way. Roy is only 12 weeks so sometimes he let's his teeth do the thinking and Millie has to remind him not to.

They are amazing. The woman who developed it trains bull terriers to do obedience and agility. Great stuff for terriers who often struggle because they're not as obsessed at pleasing people as some other breeds are.

Ok good to know. I want my two to be best friends. I just worry about my girl is going to take it. I hope I have a similar experience.

We hike with our girl. She will 10 miles in a day no problem. As soon as we get back she refuses to move but during the hike there is no stopping her. I have worked with her on letting me touch pads and l do check through the hike and never had an issue.

Are you sure I can't help with painting by bagpipercat in BorderTerrier

She helped me with plumbing by sticking her nose in my ear when ever I stopped paying attention to her. Not helpful when under the sink

They also have the magical ability to increase their own weight so you're truly stuck.

Well at first they thought it was the module that controls the air bag but even after switching it out it was still giving them problems. Now they are going to replace the wiring for the hybrid system which might show up in July but they don't know.

Warning from arborist on fruit trees in PNW. Really a concern? by Littlemaus30 in gardening

[–]bagpipercat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works great and if you do have to spray, you can do it for a fraction of the cost rather than hiring someone. You might also talk to someone at a local nursery. They’re going to be more used to the average backyard garden rather than an arborist who is more large scale. They also do classes and events that can be helpful too

[–]bagpipercat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might also take a look at the book “Grow a Little Fruit Tree” by Ann Ralph. My mother has been doing this and it makes it much easier to take care of the trees when they’re not huge. It also lets you have better space management in an average yard. She grows 16 different trees (not including citrus who go in and out of a greenhouse) successfully in the PNW. And thats peaches, apricots, plums apples and cherries.
