One very effective way of getting rid of skunks is to identify a leader skunk
and then send him to another location. His followers will, well - follow him
to that location. For instance, many of the skunks in Wisconsin are now
migrating to Minnesota as their leader (#4) has torched the exodus!
Hi,
It is too wet outside to do any work and I am contemplating a problem I have
had since moving into this old building.
The original house has floor joists rough sawn but only 2 by 8 on 24 inch
centers. We have a springy and uneven floor. Some of it is also because at some
point one of the h
Hi,
I am having trouble catching a rat in my garage and I'm considering a device
mentioned below. The message below is from Fred's Head--a great resource
from APH.
If it works well, I'll consider getting one for the house too. If you have
any other suggestions, I'd be very interested in them.
just wondering Bill , if there is a check point and a identification
of the left or is it the right front paw and nail print I am looking
for. ? today is a full moon so I am not rocking the boat and I do
believe the vistitors we had some time ago have since moved up the line

from personal experience it is a trail and error move to try to
readjust flooring. in the Northwest corner of our house for instance
the corrections in the basment made a difference in the way doors closed
and opened above that as well as the way furnature sets. so it is a
trial and erro
I don't know if banding would be stout enough for an old heavy house. Since
steel is stronger and thinner, I'd be tempted to use some kind of I beam with
screw jacks. That would take the bounce out of the floors.

problems . one was carpenter ants and the others was a smaller but
real pain in the tail ants. . used all the little ant traps and to

I have a 20 foot span I don't want posts in. I want to sister the joists but

In my personal opinion, none of these devices work at all. We have
lived in this house for six years now and the first year after we
moved here we did try one of those devices. It has now been five
years since that unit was disconnected and there has been no change in
the number of insect
Hi Dale
Bob is right I have an I Beam through the middle of my garages directly
under the main part of the house, when that I Beam is there your floor will
not have any bouncy parts at all.
If you want to run lights or power cables through state this at the time of
ordering it and the supplier c

Ray,
Have you tried regular household bleach? Seems to remove most stains.
Maybe the mulberry stain will give it up to the bleach.
Best,

what we did in a house in Wayne PA was to jack a joist a little bit and
then sister to it.We started where the joists sit on the edge of the

Hi ya,
I've got that annoying garage door won't open, acts like something's in the
way, but nothing's in the way thing going on.
Anyone who has an electric over-head garage door with a sensor should recognize
this problem.
I've paced up and down, looking for anything inside the garage which might
