Peroxide with B-O-B method?
Comments (30)Hey Dweeb: OK. Just finished doing my imitation of you and the tape biz! My taping grid was doing just fine UNTIL I received some cuttings from e-bay and they are soooo short that they keep falling over and floating! Tied them to the chop sticks to give some length, but then they didn't reach the water (like I couldn't see that coming?) So then I shifted into "The Dweeb Taping Gear" and tried to tape them to the sides of the "bucket". Even the Great Dane cocked his head to one side trying to figure out what his Alpha person was trying to do!!! Tape, water, Brugs everything all over everything!!! Gave it up, walked away to have a cuppa. Meanwhile the %#*& cuttings are floating around in the bubbles. Oh, BTW, one of the bubble stones has quit making bubbles ... it never made as many as the other "stone" so will now have to get another one. Right now, I AM VEXED!!! (but I'll get over it, soon. :0) I guess my bucket had gone together too easily!! Gloria...See MoreAnd Now Bob Cats!
Comments (26)Gosh, Katkin, I sure didn't mean that you shouldn't protect your dog or your property, so I hope I didn't sound like that. I try to live and let live with whatever wanders through my yard, but if my pets are in danger, or my grandbaby, you can bet I'd take action. And I'd try to find a way to keep my plants from being decimated, too. As I mentioned above, it is always possible that the bobcats are having trouble finding enough prey in their territory, and you are certainly right to chase them off and be watchful of your "baby." My comments on building on barrier islands are just my opinion about something that is already pretty much a done deal. I think it's wrong to use those shifting islands for homes, but the horse is pretty much out of the barn in that regard. So now it is a situation of how best to protect what wildlife and natural lands we have left, while learning to live side by side with animals that have nowhere else to go. Sometimes you can accommodate the animal, and sometimes you have no choice but to try to protect your home and family, including your pets. Marcia...See MoreBob Villa?
Comments (14)I liked Bob Vila...he was an entertaining host. He and Norm were fun to watch on This Old House. I've seen some of the later episodes, but I don't think they're as enjoyable. I loved it when Bob Vila would chastise the homeowners for not doing the sweat equity they had originally planned. His later show was pretty good, too. He had some interesting ideas...I really like the show about the split level, where they added the mudroom/entry, a bay window in the dining area and a new deck. That was a cute home :)...See MoreAs Bob Barker says - Is the price right?
Comments (2)I'm only commenting on the SWG system...over $4K is a rip. I looked into it on the internet and it appears to be a 'complete pool care system' that includes minerals and renewal items (spelled $$$). See the link below for the article where I found this. If it were me (and it is not), but if it were, I would ask for a plain SWG and nothing more. You do not need all that other crap for minerals and such. A SWG system should run around $1000 or so INSTALLED at the time of the build. You can get Hayward systems out there for $700 or less online. This is the unit that I purchased and installed...I absolutely love it. Balance your water the BBB method, use a SWG, and forget about the mineral suppositories (yes I meant that!). Just my opinion! Boog... Here is a link that might be useful: About the SWG system they are selling......See More- 2 years ago
