Solved my pill bug problem
Comments (2)Hi Gena, Nice solve for the problem I know has vexed you for quite a while. I guess the key is observation. Like overfeeding, or too much moisture. See, try learn, apply lessons learnt. Well Done! Jay...See MoreA crazy idea that solved my pet problem!
Comments (9)Great idea! I bought a faux wrought iron gate set at HD because I was sick of the baby gate. I wanted to be able to access the room if someone came to the front door (we also seldom use the LR) easily. I had to improvise their fit, but we like it. I'm trying to figure out a solution to another doorway-it's too wide for the gates. I have an extra long baby gate there, but it's a real pain since it blocks off access to the guest room if it's swung open. I love your idea, but our dogs can hop over something I can step over....See MoreHow can I solve this tile around my fireplace problem? It's ugly!
Comments (9)I would hold off. Is it marble? Is it original to the house? Your house is older and the fireplace did work at one point. Have someone in to find out what the problem is and whether it can be fixed. Then think and think some more... In other words the only thing I would do immediately is get rid of the paneling (it might be brick underneath) and strip the paint off the mantle and surround, which is VERY pretty... This house needs tlc by undoing the various "updates" from past owners......See MoreI think (or hope) I've solved my rabbit problem
Comments (23)Althea, I know I shouldn't, but your description made me laugh. We try so hard and they still outwit us with their tiny brains. I can't really tell whether my plan is working since we've had a wet year and there's more for the bunnies to eat other than the garden. However, I have no doubt that if they get hungrier they'll eat what's poking out between the holes at the very least, or they might do what yours did and eat the plastic to get to the bushes. It's just a line of defense that will make it a bit more difficult for them and meanwhile at least some of the roses will have a chance to grow taller, out of their reach. It's an imperfect world and I will always have a very imperfect garden, but if I can reach some sort of detente with the furry ones, along with providing them with vittles that we buy for then, it will be good enough. Being able to see them cavort around the yard, with not much fear of us, is a gift also, almost as much as my roses are to me. It means even more to my non-gardening husband, and for that alone I'll put up with quite a bit of their shenanigans....See Morel pinkmountain
