    Bullseye Egg

    Just trying my hand at a little Saturday morning humor. My wife was in the middle of commenting about how so many people get on her chat group asking if it is okay to eat an egg with the little red 'bullseye' dot on the yoke. My daughter came in and asked for her eggs prepared in what we call...

When I went out to listen last night just before bedtime, she kept looking up at the roofof the hutch like she wanted to get in...

    Protecting New Build From Droppings/Urine/Parasites

    Painting treated isn't the end of the world because it is a surface treatment. Stains won't take because the treatment materials are supersaturated into the wood so the stain won't absorb. As aart said, treated wood won't be ready for stain for a year. That being said, I stained the inside...

    Anyone seesing corrosion where cattle panels or wire mesh touch treated lumber?

    That fine print goes back to a change in treating methods for lumber. Old treated lumber used an arsenic material which was discontinued a number of years ago. Now they use alkaline copper quaternary and there was an assumption that the copper properties would react with traditional screws...

    Someone started boarding in the roof....

    It looks to me like the board is on the under side of the rafter inside the roof, not blocking the eve vent. If this is the case, it is acting like a baffle to direct rhe air up along the roof. It doesn't look like it is blocking the ventilation at all.

    A 'little' Over Budget (but worth every penny)

    We call it our homestead, in reality it is a 1.25 acre wooded lot in a rural northern-Wisconsin type subdivision in the heart of the Chicago suburbs. Every day when I turn off the main road into the subdivision, with open ditches and mature trees, I feel like I'm back up north. We have talked...
