Okies in the BYC The Original

I was trying to figure out if the caulking needs to be redone on the windows, as far as siding it is a brick house so there is no siding. However, the walls are all plaster with either wall paper or the ugly wood paneling over it. When I look above some of the dropped down ceiling panels I can tell the plaster is very old cracking and falling. I think from what I can tell on the windows it seems to be the wind comes through the frames or from between the wood, like where windows go into the frames. There are also storm windows on each window, but they don't seem to be doing their jobs. Should I try caulking on the inside and outside of the storm windows? Also when I look at the windows, somebody long ago must have realized the draftiness and nailed in some sort of older type weather stripping to cut down the drafts. Maybe I can find a wood caulk that would blend in where each piece of wood meets each other and caulk there. It seems to feel like there are drafts coming from between the pieces of wood on the molding part of the windows. I know this sounds confusing, sorry. Of course, whatever I do I have to make sure it is kosher with the husband and that he will like the outcome, otherwise I will hear about it forever that I ruined these beautiful windows.

So you guys think that if we changed our sale to just once a month on the third saturday of the month, and just sell poultry and farm related then our crowd would grow?

In my opinion YES very much so.......... but poultry and poultry related items. Farm related items usually means old junk and junk is what will appear. just sayin

AL

Thanks so much for the information, We are discussing the Idea of just Once a month on the third, and will make a decision tonight! I kinda miss getting to go to all the other auctions myself. I just want to try to make everyone happy, I know that it is impossible, but We want to succeed at the Auction, and with out happy customers you can't! So if anyone needs to make suggestions, please feel free to do so! By the way, I am looking for some hatching eggs! They are scarce, but I need to try to rebuild my flock. Dogs too most.... Now I am down to 12 Buff orpingtons, 1 Golden Lace Wyandotte Hen and a trio of Dark Brahmas..... Would love to have some standard Cochin eggs, Maybe a few others too... Not really picky,,,, Just want fertile and healthy!

Just tell hubby that those windows are pulling money straight out of his pocket in the form of extra heat loss. When you look at the money aspect often times things get less apealing.

I would wait till it gets a little warmer and pull the storm windows, caulk the flange and then re-install. Is it a solid brick or a wood frame with a brick veneer?

And the drop ceilings are easy to insulate just use the plain batts slid up over the drop frame.

No, but with the problems that I have with my health, it's come up. And to be honest, I probably don't drink 5 gallons of milk a year, but the consensus almost across the board is to avoid raw cow's milk. Now goat's milk may be another story. I don't drink goat's milk because ... well ... I've tasted it.

LOL Stimp We have had goats that had really good milk. You can't expect a brush goat to have quality milk. It takes a lot of Alfalfa to make quality milk.
