I'd be annoyed too: making gates (and doors) of all sorts is a picky, annoying, easy to mess up hard to correct job, or there wouldn't be a thriving business in premade farm gates (and door factories everywhere). Is there a Del's anywhere closer to you than Snohomish? Because they have kennels with premade gates, and also fence panels with gates.

Which reminds me, I've got to make dutch doors for the east end of the hoop house, oh joy.

Oh, joy

Is it unreasonable to expect Petco to make it good? I was told I was buying a pre-assembled gate, but that's not what was delivered. Intended or unintended, it's false advertising. I guess I'll just have to return it, even if it does weigh 150 lbs.

Blueducklings - I'm headed out the door in a minute to meet Karen at you mom's restaurant! Hope you can make it, but I know you said you had something with your son's class.

I've got big dogs = Bog Bombs! Plus it would gross me out to step on smooshy lawn paste, and even more disgusting, the chickens might eat it, and I eat their eggs! I'll even dig out the lawn in spots to remove bomb paste. I toss the bombs in the woods to hopefully deter the raccoons and bobcats from venturing further into the yard. The dogs eat the chicken poop, so no cleaning there! I guess I can look at the dog bombs as consolidated piles of chicken poop.

Which reminds me, I once again forgot to get the greenhouse cover roll unwrapped and put on a piece of pipe for easy dispensing when I had two healthy and strong young people helping me yesterday, oh, well.

Again, teleportation would solve so many of our problems (including dog bombs, come to think of it).

Advertent is not a word. How can inadvertent be a word, but not advertent?

My favorite use of teleportation was on a Star Trek: Voyager. They used it to deliver a baby. I could so get behind that.

Couldn't the nice worker come out and put it together for you on his day off? I agree, false advertisement. Contact corporate, they may pay for (via refund) someone to actually put it together given their incorrect information on the site.

I'm waiting to hear back from them. In the mean time, I'd better get some plastic over the cardboard box before it starts to rain. The box falling apart because it's wet would make returning it even harder.

If any of you Washington folks might be interested in a Serama pair, I just posted a BIN listing.... https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=6612136#p6612136
