Thanks to LazyWP I had the opportunity to spend a week in the Sandhills. As an outsider, I have to agree with Soapweed that the wind turbines would, without a doubt, destroy the scenic views and solitude that attracted outsiders like me to the Sandhills. It would be a real shame to have that...

Unless you had everything spelled out in writing, chalk it up to experience. In the future, close, take possession, and assume the existing lease the same day. Also, at closing, if the lease was paid in full, make sure it is prorated and the old owner pays you the remainder of the lease payment.

Did your method work? To me, it looks like the top of the plug needs to be supported from underneath at the seal. My suggestion is to put some dish soap on the 2" pvc, place a 2" no hub fernco on the pipe and slide it down to about where you need it. Then set the plug ontop to get it exactly...

Verizon FiOS is Verizon's all fiber network for voice, data, and TV. It is available in limited markets where Verizon is the LEC (local phone company). This used to be a pretty big footprint, but through recent sales, it is now basically the Mid-atlantic states. Given the population density and...

On the dairy we used "hip huggers" to lift downed cows and always put hobbles on their back legs to keep them from splaying out. The hobbles stayed on until they broke (a few months), and at times we replaced the broken ones if she looked iffy on the concrete. The hobbles may not be necessary if...

Soap, do you have a public link for those of us without Facebook? I did a quick Google search and came up empty, but would like to read the article. When I met Nate it was obvious he never met a stranger. We chatted for about a half hour and he was very upbeat and positive despite his...

Between Alabama/Auburn and Michigan/Ohio State, it was a great day to be a college football fan!

Seems as though there are a lot of people here on Ranchers who are single-handedly making sure their doctor's kids have a good Christmas. Perhaps you can get Lisa to make you a leather sling. :) Heal up fast.

Have a few die-hard Buckeye friends, and even they admit that the Buck's strength of schedule eliminates them from the Championship game, unless they get some help. Kind of a shame that they could go undefeated for two seasons and not even be a contender, but their schedule is what it is.

FH, what size (hp) pump do you have and is it 120 or 240? I'm assuming 240, but one never knows. Next question, do you have natural gas/propane? If so, personally I would be looking into a standby generator with an automatic transfer switch. It will be pricey, but the piece of mind of not...

Did you pay with a credit card? If so you may be able to dispute the charges, however the time for that may have expired, but a quick call will answer that. I once ordered a couple of reconditioned tools from a reputible online company. They only shipped FedEx which was rare for this area at...

I found an old article from 1997 discussing this very same thing and if anyone happens to know the people mentioned in the article, it may be a start. Article here: http://www.csmonitor.com/1997/1103/110397.us.us.1.html/(page)/2 Edited for wrong name

Hope you have a great sale, Soap. I hear that west of you is supposed to get dumped on with snow. Are they predicting any for your neck of the woods... errr hills?

It's great to see that you're on the mend and back posting, Soap! Stick with your PT and before you know it, you'll be movin' and shakin' again.

Hey LazyWP. Your link goes to a Yahoo sign in page for me. You on the mend?
