Note to self: Liquid Fence bottle leaks....
Comments (17)I gave up on the spray bottle of liquid fence years ago and have always bought concentrated and put it in a pump sprayer. I also found that if i mixed it by the instructions it would clog the sprayer. I now mix with a touch more water and it still keeps deer and critters away and it does not clog sprayer. It helps with no dribbling down my hand which is gross! I have to spray so many shrubs/plants the pump sprayer is sooooo much quicker and easy on my trigger finger! LOL! I have found it smells pretty gross for a day and then dissapates. I try to spray in the evening after I‘m done working in the garden for the day....See MoreNote to self...
Comments (7)i've gotta say that it feels good to know that i'm not the only one causing himself physical burns with chiles on a regular basis I just discovered last night that even gloves don't totally isolate your hands from the heat if you plan on putting in contacts later.... I think the worst time was after de-seeding and tearing apart a bunch of dried chiles with my bare hands.. MY god.. besides the NS, anywhere i touched, even my girlfriend, got red and developed that painful burn for a couple of hours. i found that standing IN the freezer was the most effective temporary relief...See MoreNote to self: No stomping...
Comments (11)Thanks for the freezing tip, Lars. I hadn't thought about doing that (I don't exactly live in the citrus capital of the world so I've never had excess to even remotely start worrying about). Based on the amount of white stuff between me (front door) and the road, I won't be going anywhere for a couple of days until I can shovel out. I don't dare let DH do it with his bad back. Ruthanna, thanks for the Lime Chicken recipe. I think I only have one or two chicken thighs in the freezer, but I will try that recipe for sure when I can get out to the store. I'd love to make Key Lime Pie, but DH doesn't eat it. Problem is I could/would eat one all by myself - I've put on way too much weight this winter already :-( I am having a wedge of lime in my Corona tonight. Gosh, they are delicious. Jasdip, sometimes I feel that my indoor plants (bay, lemons, limes, lemon grass, rosemary, parsley, cilantro, etc.) are the only thing that keep me optimistic from November 'til April. Nothing like the smell of freshly harvested herbs and fruit in February. A very huge thank you, everyone, for the ideas!...See MoreNote to self
Comments (6)Appreciate the peer review. Thank you greg you are correct. I tacked the small baseboard on the inside of the closet to the studs near the edges with some brad nails. When I was doing work downstairs I used safety plates but did not here. I could have used a multitool to saw out a space and stick a plate in there. Drywalling makes me think of safety plates but I need to remember about the baseboards. I think I was more concerned with hitting my data lines once I got through when I was drilling the new hole. Wires arent usually loose like that, but I am not worried about it this far from the floor. Any wiring I have done that went any real distance up a wall stud has been supported....See MoreMark Bischak, Architect
