    Ondura Roof Panel Question

    What a timely post! Great info here, especially since I just scored 15 sheets of Ondura for $40!! A couple have dings or small holes, but since it will be going over plywood, it won't even be noticeable... I never cease to be amazed by what I learn lurking around here Thanks, BYC folks...

    First Egg !!!! And a question

    Quote: It's funny, because when I saw that perfect little egg in the sand box, I did a double (and triple!) take!! I mean, I started with chickens for the eggs, but now that the first one was sitting there, it was like I was looking at an alien or something! I just DID NOT expect them so...

    It's Good to be a Woman!
