Some of my grandmother's windows have broken and I need replacement parts. I'm trying to get them from the installer, Bill Hayne's, but I they are not being very cooperative. She paid for a lifetime warranty, but yet they want to charge her to fix them. I don't think she wants to give them any more money and so if I have to fix them myself, I'll try these guys for parts.
Because of the large variety of different parts, you may need to ship us a complete sample of what you need in order for us to positively ID your part.

Here I intend to give clear information on a number of basic house wiring issues that may be unfamiliar or confusing to the do-it-yourselfer. These certainly don't cover everything you might want to know. In what I say I am careful to qualify my statements if they have exceptions, using words like "usually" or "typically." If a practice is specified by the National Electrical Code I will tend to indicate this by "is to be," "should," or "must," and I won't talk that way if the matter is just common practice.

This article was written as a companion to Installing A New Window In An Old Wall, but the discussion also applies to new construction framing. This article assumes that the reader has a basic familiarity with the components of standard platform framing, such as studs, headers, joists, etc.
I found this article looking for nomenclature. We're repairing some water damage around an old sliding glass door and I wanted to know the names of all the pieces of wood we'll have to replace.

Metal craft. I am thinking a nice sheet of copper would make a really nice backsplash above the kitchen counters. It's 19$ a yard for the thinnest 12" wide sheets. HMMMMM....

Selected Perennials for Oklahoma Gardens

Helianthus annuus
sunflower
Annual Well, I’m not going to write an article on annuals… so I thought I’d throw this fun flower into the perennial article. That’s semi-legit because they do come up in a lot of gardens every year. Now that I’m completely justified….let me say, Sunflowers are LOTS OF FUN! They are the ideal plant to begin teaching children with… they grow fast enough to fascinate both student and teacher. And the flowers are big enough to fascinate you all over again. These days they come in an enormous range of colors and sizes… so please yourself, but make sure you have at least 1-3 giant sunflowers so the kid’s can learn about feeding birds and about salted sunflower seeds. There is always just enough sun in any garden for a small patch of these prairie loving flower giants.

Sue recommended to glue countertop or tiles in the bathroom or kitchen.
LEXEL IS A CO-POLYMER RUBBER-BASED SEALANT THAT IS USED AS AN ADHESIVE BY MANY MOSAICS ARTISTS. IT HAS EXCELLENT ADHESION TO A WIDE VARIETY OF MATERIALS, EVEN AFTER SEVEN DAYS OF WATER IMMERSION SO IT'S GREAT FOR OUTDOOR PROJECTS. LEXEL DRIES 19 TIMES CLEARER THAN SILICONE AND WILL NOT YELLOW MAKING IT A PERFECT SOLUTION FOR GLASS ON GLASS APPLICATIONS. UNLIKE SILICONE, LEXEL STICKS TO ITSELF SO YOU CAN REPAIR IT BY APPLYING NEW LEXEL ON TOP OF THE OLD LEXEL. LEXEL STICKS TO ALMOST ANYTHING - WET OR DRY. SOME CUSTOMERS REPORT THAN IT HAS LESS FUMES THAN SILICONE GLUE.
ADHERES TO:
acrylic • copper • most plastics • polycarbonate • polystyrene (except foam) • aluminum • chrome • nylon • fiberglass • steel • PVC • ABS • asphalt • wood • Formica • Lexan • tile • Plexiglas • masonry • metal • glass • vinyl • canvas • paint • concrete • brick • fiber-cement • porcelain • parquet • terra-cotta • and more!
LEXEL HOLDS ITS SEAL THROUGH RAIN, SNOW, SUN AND WIND, HOWEVER IT SHOULD NOT BE USED IN AREAS OF CONTINUOUS SUBMERSION (i.e., aquariums or swimming pools). DO NOT USE LEXEL IN AREAS WHERE TEMPERATURES EXCEED 200ºF. LEXEL MAY DAMAGE SOME PLASTICS, SUCH AS POLYSTYRENE FOAM INSULATION, THEREFORE IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT PLASTICS NOT LISTED SHOULD BE TESTED FOR COMPATIBILITY BEFORE USE.

Scientific breeding is deserving of study by every one interested in the utility side as well as by those attracted to the fancy side of poultry raising. No farmer can afford to ignore the profit to be derived from the proper handling of even a small flock. Common hens are well enough in their way and by scientific breeding might in time be developed into heavy laying strains, but practical people are more interested in what has already been accomplished along such lines. They want stock that will produce the most eggs and meat at the minimum cost of feed. Certain Leghorn strains will produce more eggs than any other known breed, because for many years they have been systematically bred for great egg yield. Under certain conditions like will produce like. A pullet from a strain of great layers should be a great layer; if bred to a male descended from a strain of great layers, the females of this progeny should be greater layers.

I decided to put up this page as so many people ask the same questions as I once did. It has to do with feed, genetics and putting related poultry back together. A lot of people will say not to do it, I have never heard an experienced breeder say this however. This is from my writings from an email I replied to. It's very informal... and understand that it's only part of it....

he goal of predator proofing is to balance safety with freedom for the chickens and other domestic fowl we care for. We want to provide them with every opportunity to exercise their free will and natural instincts, but because they are here at our whim we are responsible for keeping them out of harm's way.
