Love the barrel bands ball. Going to keep my eye out for some of them. Your totems are so Gorgeous. I have the same plow less the handles. An old corn planter and a Fresno in our Faux court yard. Oh and my husbands Grandfathers grinding stone. Link is from 2009. We moved here 2008 to bare land new manufactured home so things were just getting started in our yard. It has now evolved several times and really hoping 2013 will be the year of making things really fun now I am finally fully retired. And my latest project creating a room in our yard at a small transition area that would not grow grass and even when it did it was too narrow to turn the riding mower around in. My husband mows, what we call, the lower part of the yard. LOL He wants to do this so it is a help to make it easier for him. I plan on planting some hosta on the bank by the green fence and some morning glories at the bed frames. The area is some what shady in the summer. Finally some shade here from BARE land in 2008. I thought a brand new yard would be so fun and easy to put together with out having to work around some one eases ideas but it has been hard for me. Mostly to make up my mind what to put where. There are several pictures. Thumbnails to the right. http://www.flickr.com/photos/81771246@N03/8198270508/in/photostream/ Here is a link that might be useful: Old plow.

Hello. The house is a 3-floor 3-family home. This specific furnace is serving only the 1st floor apartment. The aquastat was set for 200 degrees. The other two hot water boilers are set to 180 degrees, so I bumped the aquastat down to 180 like the others. It works fine now. When the temp hits 180 on the temp gauge, the circulator stays on and the boiler kicks back on when the temp drops to the low limit. It seems like it's working fine. No leaks from the pressure relief valve. Now, When cold, the pressure is still 12PSI for so, but when hot at 180 degrees, the maximum is only 22 or so PSI. Thanks for the help.

We feed her twice a day like the vet recommended. She's not deaf, she'll look at wear the sound is coming from, but won't respond, like she's ignoring us, or trying to. The other dog actually calmed her anxiety, she's a jealous dog, that can be sneaky though, which I forgot to inform you guys about (sorry, i was sort of panicking.) When she was a puppy we couldn't leave her a cage, that was around x5's bigger then her in the first place, because she had anxiety issues and would scratch her head against the side until it bled. So we got her a brother, and everything changed and she's really nice now. But Chester, Sophies "brother", is a soft-coated wheaten terrier, we've already took him to around 4 different trainers, I guess it's just his instincts preventing him changing into a nicer, calmer, relaxed, less dirty dog. ( We wash/groom him, but he loves going outdoors..so.ha.) And yes, we are feeding her a quality dog food that you can only buy at certain pet stores, not PetCo/PetSmart. Do they do blood work when dogs go into surgery? I know it may sound silly, but I'm sure if she's already gotten blood work done for all that. She had surgery earlier this summer for skin-tags, and cracked teeth, in multiple areas for the skin-tags. I really hope it's nothing more then old age, if there's cancer, It would really crush me. She's one of the prettiest weimaraners ever, well, not to be conceited, but she really is a pretty one. Oh, and she's kind of getting more paranoid in a sense. Getting scared really easily, I don't know why! We treat our dogs with respect like their our family, which they are, and there's no pet-abuse in the family either. (Never ever ever will that happen!)

I've decided to transform the leaf mould bin into a compost bin sooner rather than later. Instead of emptying out all of the leaves, I've started incorporating grass clippings and kitchen/garden scraps into the bin, making sure it gets a good green/brown ratio. Over time, by turning the existing brown materials in with the new green materials, it should make good compost. The negative about this is that I won't be able to use this stuff for about two years, when I could have actually collected leaf mould in one year. The positive is that compost is more nutrient rich but can also be used the same way, as a top dressing or mulch, for water retention and weed suppression, but giving those plants a boost that leaf mould may not do. I'll work green materials in for about a year (or unless we get it so full that it absolutely can't hold any more) then setup another swimming pool composter up. On appx April 2018, the plan is to collect compost from the first bin. On appx April 2019, I'll collect compost from the 2nd bin. Then, April 2020, from the first bin, and on and on. Meanwhile, I'm slowly building up a small farm, with rabbits, cows, chickens, and eventually, ducks, possibly turkeys, etc. Rabbit poop = instant garden fertilizer + worm food, for vermicomposting, to collect worm castings for the garden, and the worms themselves could feed some fish, for a future aquaponics setup. Cow, chicken, duck, and turkey poop will be composted. As of right now, it's all about slowly moving forward, to try to obtain a balance, where everything works together.
