  • DeepwoodsbutcherD Deepwoodsbutcher

    calldoctoday He’s a great dog. Always by our sides. Managed to find himself a porcupine the other day. Thankfully, it wasn’t bad at all. My other dog passed away this winter at 15.5. He would go all out on porcupines. Killed one once and was absolutely covered in quills. He just stood there wagging his tail while I pulled out close to 50 of them. Still ended up at the vet because he had them up his nasal cavity. Glad our healer backed off quickly.

    Deepwoodsbutcher you need to get another dog now so that the older one will teach the younger they learn from each other

      Deepwoodsbutcher thats a great looking pup. Is he a skunk chaser also? My Border was definitely a slow learner when it came to skunks. I miss her terribly, but not the skunk chasing.

      GWG8541 he hasn’t gotten into that yet. Had a bloodhound that did though. Our heeler never leaves our sides. This porcupine came into the yard near the house and it was just after dark so we didn’t see it when my husband took the dog out.

        I agee with this. He is actually the pup we got that would learn from my 2 older dogs. The second one just died about 4 months ago. We got this guy a pup too, but she ended up being too timid for his personality. They got along and she learned from him, but ultimately after 4 years we decided it was best for her to be an only dog. She lives down the road with my mother now, and she is much more confident. We still get them together to play for short periods of time, but she much prefers to play alone.

            Picked up materials for finishing the interior of the shop. 4x8 Nrp panels and all the moulding/ trim. Glue for installation and caulk for sealing. Getting so close to moving in. Hopefully, by the end of next week we’ll be wrapping up construction!

                Denny O it’s nrp. It’s still USDA certified and was considerably cheaper then frp. I decided this was an area I could go with the money saving option.

                        Denny O NRP® standard panels are made with 100% PLAS-TEX® densified solid polymer. FRP PANELS are made from high quality gelcoat over cured mineral-filled polyester resin and random strand fiberglass matt.
                        Simply put, it’s just a waterproof plastic wall panel.

                            It’s been way too hot for me the past couple of days, but I managed to get one of the cooler doors covered and trimmed today. Had some help from my father in law and it turned out looking almost professional.

                                      calldoctoday fair point. They will all be enclosed in waterproof/ outdoor covers and not exposed. They are also placed well above table tops. There is also no running water in the shop. Water will be brought in by the bucket and hot cleaning will be done with a steamer. We made need to make that change sometime, especially if/ when I add running water. We did leave plenty of wire for down the road. Not everything will be ideal right away for sure. For now I’ll have to exercise caution in some areas, including this one.

                                        You can use GFI breakers in your breaker box. The downside would be that in case of a fault detection every outlet on that circuit would drop

                                          When wired in correctly, you need only one GFCI receptacle on each circuit. All the other regular receptacles are then protected by the first GFCI. It makes it much less work to bring everything up to code.

                                          GFCI receptacles are also cheaper than GFCI breakers.
