re: Help getting rid of rats

Easiest thing to do is spread some peanut butter on poison.

Peanut butter on the middle of the glue traps works well also.

Are you using the right sized snap trap? The little mouse traps will be laughed at with a big rat.

Haven’t you moved like 10 times since 2004?

And yes, tons of people are getting into roofing for a reason.
I don’t think I’d like to just randomly give them this as a gift, but if you did it as a birthday or Christmas present or something I don’t see an issue at all

Yeah I was going to say, no one is doing it hourly plus parts anymore for the most part. I'm seeing $2k-3k range generally speaking.

That makes sense. I was thinking it was still cold, and the snow just was the precipitation. I'm used to hunting the midwest where the ground is hard whether its got snow or not much of the time.

I'd also guess that's what makes the hunting harder and why there's less birds killed. When the set ups are harder to do right, people just don't do it as much. The guides are probably setting up different and its just not as effective.

I'm not a gas engineer or anything but I have some commercial gas equipment, but you generally have a main regulator and then each larger piece of equipment has its own smaller one also. Your main has to be properly sized also

Well they are going 150+ mph toward each other.

But I’m fairly certain in most of France they actually have 2 completely different lines. So it’s virtually impossible.

I would think the real question here isn’t why isn’t there a better warning system, but why is it even possible?

Why have the police not essentially made a timeline and expected where abouts of Bundy’s life, and gone over every potential missing girl/ murder/ death in those areas? I’m assuming that IS the case here and the dna just clarified it?

shite through, I mean this girls parents are probably long dead. Bundy is dead. There’s not much to really close the books on.

Lots of the farmers won't let you in their fields with trucks when there's snow on the ground. So you may have to tow sleds full of decoys out with SXS.


I’m not arguing I’m just curious why this is? I would think snow would more likely mean hard ground and less likely to be damaged but I’m sure I’m missing something? I’d think any good guide would have a 4 wheeler or sxs anyway?
Honest question, where are all the 2 and 3 star guys going? I have no idea? It is wild to me that no colleges are developing ‘back up’ Qbs that are lower stars and may just turn into starters these days? It was very common practice for teams to take a stud Qb and a back up every year and then in 2-3 years the back up would be “asked” to leave if they didn’t develop as 4-5 qbs was too many on the roster.

How do you know what will be needed to run the generator and the two items in the house?


The gas company should be able to help. Also, the gas companies almost always have guys that work for them that do this work on the side. They also will have contractors that do it. I’ve found that their recommended guys are almost always cheaper than just calling a random plumber to do it. Their side hustle guys are usually the cheapest.

A 14 kW generator is basically another large propane appliance. The propane system has to be able to supply the generator, water heater and range at the same time.


First off great post, I didn’t come to argue. I just wanted to add that he wouldn’t HAVE to run all 3 at the same time unless he just wants to be an OT baller. You could fairly easily turn the generator off to run the water heater and range. It may not be THAT simple as I know the range may take some power, or may not. Water heaters depend also.

I also wanted to add, that OP you need to confirm how long you can run the generator off 250 gallons. It’s likely less time than you think. I’m not suggesting against it, I just wanted to point out that it’s not going to allow you to live weeks on end. Now it can be refilled certainly. But again just good info to know.

Airless paint sprayer recs

Posted by baldona on 10/27/26 at 11:24 am
I'd like to buy an airless paint sprayer for home projects and some rental property stuff. I don't mind spending money, but my issue I'm running into is that most of them are designed for a ton of paint. I used a Graco x5 or X7 a couple years ago, and it was great if you were using like 5 gallons at a time, but the days we had just a gallon or 2 you basically wasted half the paint in clean up.

These are more the quart projects than 5 gallons. The problem with all the smaller ones and handhelds is they just don't get great reviews.

The Graco Ultra Quickshot seems reasonable at $1200, but I can get an x7 for half that and waste a shite ton of paint for $600 in clean up.

Are there any other options or suggestions?

Those battery powered inflators are great for occasional use but you’ll burn them up with routine use. I’ve gone through a lot of them with my small fleet of 3 vehicles, 2 of which have 80psi commercial tires, and employee vehicles. Even the dewalt and other brands. They are more made for bikes and occasional use like a flat at home.

Given that, OP I almost always let the air out but I can tell you that most guys that use them for work never do.
The key to these hunts OP is go to bed early and be the first one in the woods. Seriously. You probably won’t out walk or bike someone, but you can get there early as hell and beat most people.

Also, something to keep in mind is stay in your stand all day. Or try your best to stay until 11 the first day. Lot of guys get down around 8:30-9:30. It’s not the worst idea to sit in the ‘middle’ of where everyone will be. Very good chance to have deer bumped to you mid day.

Microsoft employs 240,000 people? WOW that’s shocking to me.

I’m curious how many of these are in the states.
