That's sad


Ok, I'm probably going to sound dumb, but I am just so clueless when it comes to construction.
I've seen/heard its better to pint the wood BEFORE assembling.
When it comes to paint...I use primer, then Exterior I'm guessing, but do I need to seal it with anything/waterproof it?
It doesn't rain a ton, and it's not AS humid up here, but..?
Also..what's the stigma with pressure treated woo

I paint the exterior siding with the color I am going to use before adding the trim. I also paint the trim before cutting it and installing it. Then I go back and touch up the cuts and corners of the trim after everything is installed and caulked. This way allows me to use the paint gun more than a paint brush. I hate paint brushes with a passion.

I'm in Lubbock, Texas. I'm rather new to this so I may have stupid questions. I'm hoping to find other Lubbock and surrounding West Texans on here.

I'm in Odessa, so at least we have the weather (for the most part) in common!

No kidding! This up and down, blowing dust and crud is hard to explain when the person doesn't have a frame of reference. lol

What chickens do you have?

I've got chicks right now. Most are red production and one Sussex from TSC. Two are from a lady in Canyon, and one is a rescue from someone at a snake show. Guy freaked out, grabbed the chick, ran outside, threw it in the bushes and screamed "be free, little chicken, be free!" but he did in 40 degree weather. Dummy.

Welcome both of you to the Texas thread.

I was born in Lubbock, but moved to East Texas many, many years ago.

So glad it came back on! Mine went out around 8 am this morning, but came back on within 5 min. Not a good time for power outages with babies under the heater. So cute! If she was solid white you wouldn't be able to see her! I love bread! It smells so yummy while it's cooking! You post some really good recipes. The chicken thigh one looked good also. You made me laugh so hard! I've always wondered why they call it "chicken" of the sea, fins of the sea makes more sense! I like any part of the chicken as long as it's dead and cooked. Except for the feet. I've seen feet for sale in the store a few times. I don't think you could boil it enough to get all the poo out from under the nails. I need some help fellow Texans. Chicken math has struck, but I just couldn't help it. Had to run to town to pick up a few things and made a stop at Atwoods. I found a bin of mixed pullets, so of course I brought 6 home which brings me to my limit of chickens. I'm hoping ya'll will have some ideas on what they are. They came from Ideal hatchery. First set: You can click on the pics to make them larger. I'm thinking they are Buff Orpingtons? They are more beige than yellow. Next set: Do these look like Wyandottes to ya'll? If so, I'm thinking Silver Laced ones. I know they aren't Barred Rocks or Australorpes. I already have some of those. Thanks for any help ya'll can give.

Cute chicks. I would have had a hard time passing those up and I have absolutely no business getting any chicks right now. I did talk to some cute little chicks at Winkley's today. Don't production reds start out looking like the yellow ones?
