When wading pond, keep the undercarriage up, failure to do so has breath taking consequences.

Note to self: Liquid Fence bottle leaks....
Q

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.

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

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.

Make more than you want and trade them for something you don't have. This is the only time of the year I feel like I have too many because many need to be brought in for a hard freeze, which we may get tonight
