calling any one from missouri

[karenerwin]

I'm here in Missouri! Hailing you from St. Charles County, just west of St. Louis. We have 24 acres we live on with horses and a pack of rescue dogs. I don't have chickens but I'm new to ducks. Have 11 Penciled Indian Runner Ducks and 7 Call Ducks.

Hi! I live about 45 minutes or so from you in Cedar Hill, MO. No, ducks though. Just a couple of dogs, a couple of rabbits and about 25 chickens and a garden.

I’ve always wanted to create a water feature but I haven’t designed or taken the plunge yet.

Well, I'll be honest it's kind of a pita. Look into above ground fountain/water garden before you decide to dig a hole and have to redo it 7 times like we did.
It's a lot of work to get the leaves out of it in the fall and all that.

Hard to get a good picture but it's pretty with the light on it at night

I’ve been in Poplar Bluff since Tuesday. Originally thought I would come down on Monday but errands took too long. We have working electrical outlets in 1 bedroom and the bathroom. The living room has outlets installed they just aren’t wired to the fuse box yet ( or I didn’t flip the right fuse, but I think I flipped them all)
I bought a small window AC and put it in the bedroom. I had a grand idea that I would buy a pool float and sleep on it ( to be off the floor). I couldn’t find any of the plan old ones ( like when I was a kid). I bought one that I thought was similar but it turns out that the sides and “pillow” inflate but the bottom is just thin vinyl with holes it it to let the water in.
I put my pillow in the middle and tried to sleep like that. Not the best night’s sleep I’ve ever gotten.
Went to Walmart today and both a twin size inflatable mattress. I hope it holds are all night!
I’ve almost got all of the new load of gravel spread out but it got so hot I had to stop. I burned all the old, bad, rotted wood that came off the house and was piling up in the backyard and I cleaned and organized the basement! I’m tired!
The guy building the basement stairs is going to start next Wednesday. It will be so nice not to have to walk around outside to get to the basement!
The kid that was doing our siding, soffit and facia hasn’t been here in 3 weeks. He was almost finished.
In the meantime a storm tore one strip of facia off and flipped it up on the roof and about 8 to 10 pieces of soffit were out in the trees and yard. Oh, and he drove 3 long screws through the window frame of one window he installed so you can’t open the window. He was supposed to fix that too.
We decided not to have him do the drywall. He just isn’t reliable enough. I never hung drywall and I don’t think my husband has either. Wish us luck! We will probably start that in 2 weeks or so. I know he wants to finish getting the outlets and lights and ceiling fans in and working.
