I hope you got it (my washer started leaking last weekend, do you want to fix it too? )

Hi Dax. Yes it's back together. Well the wall needs patched but that will have to wait it was soaked. Darn guys that did the original pipe used a cap that was meant for temporarily checking for leaks. I'm amazed it made it this far. Hope there are no more. House was built in early 70's.

Love to help with washer but I'm not familiar with them. Maybe we could make a plucker out of it.

Good deal!  Always seems to taste better when you know what it took to get it to the table. I remember Grandpa coming in from Grandma's kitchen garden with a white radish that had been missed the previous year, made it through the central IL winter, and continued to grow. That sucker weighed 4 lb!  Strangely enough, it was still perfectly edible; not a thing wrong with it.

For sure!! Best corn I've ever eaten.

Well, I just left two cockerels that refused to go in out with their coop coop open. If they get eaten it is their own fault. This is not the first time they did not want to go in when I needed to leave so too bad. I don't need them, they are for sale, and who needs cocks that won't listen to "chickens in the coop, chickens in the coop"? I need birds that can be let out and put up on command. I miss my old cock he did not like me much, but he was great with the girls and would get them in when I sang.

Curious do you throw them some feed into the coop while singing. A cock will do anything for food.

Quote: BIL & I were rehabing a single story house a few years back, and rain gutters were part of it. Had about a 10' span we were taking down; he on one end, me on the other. My ladder was too close to the house. Not realizing he'd already pulled the last spike on his end, I pulled the last one on my end. Because I was too close, I was thrown off-balance when the full weight of the gutter hit me, throwing me off the ladder to the concrete. Fortunately, Sparky the electrician was right behind me and caught my upper body before my head had a chance to bounce off the concrete step. I wasn't hurt at all, but Sparky lost his coffee.

I should've known better; I used to do gutter work for a living; just wasn't thinking.

No I just wave my arms and say chickens in the coop in a sing song manner. It works for most. I have a couple of leghorns and one BR in this group that are difficult, but these two cockerels are still seperated and they don't like to go to their coop, and keep trying to take the BR with them.

Don't pallets come in handy?!
I can't take a lot of the credit for the way mine's working out. I've had help from some pretty good carpenters, personally and verbally; my BIL and our own Pensmaster right here.
