Consequences of Finishing the Basement
What is (are) the consequence(s) of finishing my basement and not hiring an inspector. I hired out the electrical (certified tech) and dry wall mudding. I completed everything else including the radiant heat baseboards.
Annually there is a form that arrives by mail requesting me to fill out any changes that have been made to my home/property. Should I ignore this and wait for an auditor instead?
Thanks so much for your comments.
Physically I guess it depends on what you did that was wrong or unsafe. Fires, structural failure, CO poisoning, mold growth I guess are some possibilities in some homes. Most folks "don't know what they don't know".
You might not be able to call it finished space when list to sell - so I've heard.
Search this section for "finish basement without permit". There's a big thread on the subject.

2007 Buick LaCrosseVisitor, Tupelo, MS, November 04, 2014 16:48I bought this car from my grandmother before she died. it a 2007 Lacrosse. it only had 22000 miles on it. it has always had a musty, mildew smell. especially after it rained. I started going through the trunk looking for this smell and found out that the trunk leaks water in right above the tail lights. I've made appointment with the dealership. This is defiantly a poor design. Hopefully they fix it. Also clunking when I true the steering wheel.
2007 Buick LaCrossetjp11, Phoenixville, PA, December 12, 2010 13:18Though I only have 30k on my CXS, it has been a dependable car. Handles well, looks great and has some power with the 3.6. I have experienced the common gas cap and steering "clunk" problems which were addressed by the dealer as well as a faulty speed sensor, all within the last 5k miles. This is my third Buick since a 1984 Regal and they all have been comfortable, reliable, low maintenance vehicles.Rookie
2007 Buick LaCrosseVisitor, Rochester, NY, October 07, 2010 14:44I have been driving my 2007 LaCrosse for over 3 and a half years and the only issue I have is when I roll down the window the car gets a mildew smell, especially after a rain storm. Other tha that it has driven me through Western Ny weather like a champ.
2007 Buick LaCrosseVisitor, Nelsonville, OH, August 11, 2010 09:27I just bought this car last week, traded a 2000 Buick LeSabre for this 2007 Buick LaCross, I wish I had my other Buick back! I'm not happy with this car, with the air on it has no power, it keeps hesitating , I keep thinking it is going to die any minute. If I can get rid of this car, I will!!

47,228 Kids Design Photos
For a child, a bedroom is more than just a place to sleep. It's a spot to do schoolwork, play games, rough-house, read, daydream, visit with friends and stockpile toys. As you plan out your child's bedroom, you'll need a space that serves all those functions — and is comfortable and practical for several years to come. The ultimate experts on what kids like best are kids themselves, so get them involved in the design process by letting them help with selections. That being said, children's preferences change often, so use accessories and colors that be easily replaced. Overall, whether you're decorating a playroom, bedroom or nursery, be sure to think about fun, growth and practicality. More

Three women have been arrested after a stabbed man burst into an Abbey Wood newsagent claiming to have been knifed and begging the shopkeeper to call an ambulance.
According to witnesses the man, looked "looked like he'd been in a fight", when he stumbled into the shop at around 7.30am on Saturday (March 8).
He then sat outside the parade of shops and waited for emergency services to arrive.
A spokeswoman for the London Ambulance Service said they sent a single responder in a car and one ambulance to the scene.
She said: "Our staff treated a man, reported to be in his 20s, for stab wounds.
"He was taken as a priority to hospital."
The man's injuries are not thought to be life-changing.
A spokeswoman for Greenwich police said three women were subsequently arrested on suspicion of GBH and attempting to pervert the course of justice.

The USA Network's Characters Unite movement wants to know what you won't stand for.
The award-winning public service program, created in an effort to promote tolerance and acceptance, is calling on fair-minded Americans to tell USA Network what injustices and inequalities in our society they're stand up for.
Earlier this month, HRC proudly joined the Characters Unite program, proudly standing up for those on the journey to coming out.
The USA Network aired a special HRC public service announcement, featuring actress Callie Thorne of Necessary Roughness and HRC's premiere Coming Out Center.

Well...if you look at the dollars spent on CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett, and Mark Teixeira...I would say...hand them the World Series trophy and be done with it. However, let's not get carried away just yet. There are still some glaring weaknesses in their line-up, some aging parts that have no depth to assist over the marathon that is...the MLB season. OK...agreed, the Yankees will have a starting rotation that rivals the LA Angels and perhaps few others. But lets examine the "other" middle of the field positions (the traditional places where it takes to build a championship team). At Catcher, you have Jorge Posada who is coming off an injury and may or may not be the guy he has been in the past. Also, there is Jose Molina who is very servicable, but NOT a guy you can count on daily to be your top line guy behind the dish. Then you have to examine the effects on Posada as a "platoon" player. This guy is NOT going to accept that role very well in my opinion, but it DOES remain to be seen. At 2B, you have Robinson Cano. A guy who has spent significant time in Joe Girardi's "dog house" for not playing well. Now granted, he had a GREAT second half and if that goes into 2009, then this line was complete bunk and he'll be an All-Star again this season. At SS, Jeter. Enough said, he's the best in the game as much as I hate to say that. Then you have the interesting dilema that is CF. Now that Teixeira is in the Big Apple, Nick Swisher appears to be the guy for THAT role. REALLY...are you kidding me?? Don't get me wrong, Nick Swisher can hit and in spite of a sub-par 2008, I truly believe that the trade by the Yankees to bring him in was great...but to put him in the line up as the regular first-baseman, part-time DH, part-time CF. I just don't see him holding up as the EVERYDAY Centerfielder for this team. My personal opinion, the money spent on Teixeira would have been better spent on one Manny Ramirez. You could have left Johnny Damon in CF and platooned him with Melky Cabrera OR Brett Gardner (whichever performs better in the spring) and had Xavier Nady in RF. You also have an option to re-sign Justin Christian if you didn't believe in Gardner OR Cabrera. Then trade Hideki Matsui for a CF OR a DH, if you don't want Matsui as your DH to begin with. Then there is the AGING bullpen. Sorry, Yankee fans, there is going to come a time where Mariano Rivera can't close games any more and that time is sooner rather than later. AND who is there to handle the chore when Rivera can't...Damaso Marte??...are you kidding me?? This guys was brutal in PIT and then even worse when brought in to close for a time last season. Sabathia will eliminate the need for the pen once every five days, which is nice, but what about the other four days...think about it.
So for those crying for a salary cap in baseball...I say this. Let the league continue to tax the New Yorkers 'till they are blue in the face and let's see Boston, Tampa Bay, Baltimore and Toronto continue to build from within and continue to beat the daylights out of the money happy Yankees. Not to mention the Chicago White Sox, LA Angels, Minnesota, Detroit and Cleveland among others.

Plucking interesting Oklahoma
Cumulative miles driven: 1,780
We were fortunately less than 'Twenty four hours from Tulsa' when we departed Little Rock in Arkansas and it actually turned out to be around six hours by the time we had taken the back roads rather than the Interstate highway. Tulsa turned out to be a pleasant place considering they are also possibly at the 'Center of tbe Universe', or at least they have a spot by this name just outside of downtown. ...
A stay in OKC
Today we woke up and ate breakfast at my aunts house. we ate biscuits and gravy and it was delicious.

Then we ate dinner which consisted of ribs, mashed potatoes and salad then we went to bed.

Rizal Hill Park (Calvario Hill)
Visit the Rizal Hill Park (locally known as Calvario Hill) in the middle of the town and get a panoramic view of the town.
Climb the 50+ steps up to the top or try the easier back route without those steps and go down via the concrete stairs.
At the top of the hill park is a monument of Dr Jose P. Rizal, our national hero.
Coming down the concrete stairs you will be facing the back of the 'white house' (called because of its color) - the ancestral home where Fr Horacio dela Costa, SJ (a famous Maubeño) was raised and now the property of the Jesuits.
There is no entrance fee but the gate is closed at night.
The Philippine Daily Inquirer (a leading broadsheet newspaper) on 31 Dec 2011 wrote an article: "The country's highest Rizal monument is in Mauban".

Feast of Dr. St. Bonaventure
Dr. St. Bonaventure is the patron saint of the town of Mauban and his feast day is celebrated July 15th (before 2006, it was wrongly celebrated on the 14th, the church says).
Days before the event, people get ready for the feast day: novena masses, festive feelings, ferris wheel, rides, variety shows, games, bargain shops ("feria"), cooking sweets & special foods, lambanog (fermented wine from nipa palm), etc.
Before 2008, Maubanog (Mauban Lambanog festival) is celebrated the whole week before the feast day (Did they really moved this to May 15th?).
Now (2012) Maubanog Festival is week-long celebration with the town fiesta as the climax.
Be there and experience the fun and festivities.

Summer in Mauban
The best time to visit Mauban is summer, especially Holy Week when most people take time off for a four-day weekend. The Catholic faithful have a Good Friday procession around the town where life-size images of 'Poon' (saints) go around the town (around 20 of them) . The ownership of these 'Poon' are handed down from one generation to the next and some 'andas' are made of silver.
On Black Saturday, lots of people unwind at various beaches.
Easter dawn has an Easter "Salubong" procession with Regina Coeli songs.

Mauban is bounded on the east by Lamon Bay (Philippines Sea) so lots of beaches abound. Beaches I remember since childhood are Bulwagen, Malasor (lighthouse), Sampitan and Cagbalete island.
Bulwagen is the nearest beach from the town, around 10 minutes ride along a concrete road. It is near the coal power plant and I think the sand now are darker (are they ash from the plant smoke stack or just my imagination?)
Malasor is by the lighthouse (does the light house still exist?) and since it is near the ligthhouse you can expect large rocks.
Sampitan is way past the coal power plant (15~20 min ride from town). Good beach although you can sometime see lots of logs (illegal or otherwise) by the beach.
Cagbalete Island beaches can be reached via a boat ride (~45 min) from the town's 'Pantalan" (pier) at 'Barangay Daungan'. Cagbalete has white beaches. One can ask around the 'Pantalan' area for boat crossing to Cagbalete Island.
Actually, Quezon City, past the southern end of the seawall is the nearest beach and it is near 'Barangay Sadsaran'. Fishing boats land here and the water here is dirty since Pakatan Creek empties via this side.

Festive Month of May
Festive month of May in Mauban means - festive. Aside from Virgin Mary's 'sagalas' are the celebration of the feast days of Patrons from different Barangays. There is an almost daily Fiesta at different places - visit to families, friends, food, dancing, sweets, 'lambanog', etc.
Some barangay are best visited via banca ride across the bay. Ride bancas from 'Daungan' or 'Sadsaran'.

Colors are accurate as shown. Beautiful design. We get a lot of compliments. Spills blot up. It sheds a lot at first, especially when vacuuming. We've had ours for about 8 months, and it's still shedding a little.
wool is not tightly knotted, so if you have to clean spills the wool comes apart. but excellent price point for a large thick wool rug.
The rug is brighter colors than I had hoped. What is most disappointing though is the quality. The individual pieces of wool come out very easily. It is like a child's hook rug without the know. As soon as any of the pile is pulled up by a shoe heal or a cat's claw, it can just simply be pulled out. There is no quality other than the price which is set by Overstock, not the manufacturer. I will not purchase this brand again.

March in the St. Patrick's Parade -- Unless you are GLBT
By Mata H on March 17, 2009
BlogHer Original Post
It's St Patrick's Day, the day that brings delight to many Irish and non-Irish. For those celebrating, Erin Go Bragh! Hopefully, some day, the NYC and Boston St Pat's parades will be truly inclusive so that my proud Irish GLBT friends can march in them, and celebrate the gifts they bring to the world, too. So, here is a toast to the cities in which they are allowed to openly march. Sláinte!
I talked to my best friend, John, last night. He is gay and lives in NY. It tears him up every year that he cannot fully enjoy the parade. "These are my people," he said, "whether they claim me or not. I am NY Irish and proud. Except on St. Patrick's Day when my own people make a point of telling me just how unwanted I am."
I was going to write about St Patrick and the snakes -- you know, how he drove them out of Ireland according to the legend. And I was going to ask you all what metaphorical snakes you'd like driven out of your lives. But the situation with the GLBT community being denied again just got under my skin and won't leave until I write about it.
The mayor of Boston will not be attending the parade again this year, in protest to the exclusions. Andy has posted a fine analysis of the history and issues of the Boston parade. The first year after gays participated openly, the parade organizers sought and obtained legal injunctions. He says :
In 1995, the Supreme Court unanimously held that parades are a form of public expression under First Amendment, and the Commonwealth could not force a private group applying for a public demonstration permit to include members of a group contrary to the private group's expression (presumably, the Council thought GLIB's marching was contrary, though this is where many take serious issue with the case)...And what exactly is the communicative element of this parade that GLIB's participation so offends? I hear and read a lot of talk about "Irish family values" come up in defending this action. How does letting Star Wars Stormtroopers march in the parade further that message? It seems as the Council would seek to have it both ways in this one: a sufficiently vague expression to allow every group they think would be fun into the parade, but a sufficiently communicative and specific expression to find GLIB's participation as offensive to the message and thus have a legally valid reason for exclusion. I'm not saying Stormtroopers shouldn't be in the parade (they should), I'm saying GLIB should be in there, too. [ed. note - "Stormtroopers marched in costume from the StarWars movie.]
The New York City parade is held by the Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH), an Irish-Catholic fraternal organization. It is the largest St. Patrick's Day parade in the world, with over 100,000 marchers and over 2 million spectators in the streets. It is a HUGE deal in NY.
The AOH have refused to allow gay and lesbian groups to march in the parade since 1991. In 2006, the parade organizer, John Dunleavy, was interviewed by the Irish Times and said:
"If an Israeli group wants to march in New York, do you allow neo-Nazis into their parade? If African Americans are marching in Harlem, do they have to let the Ku Klux Klan into their parade? People have rights. If we let the Irish Lesbian and Gay Organisation in, is it the Irish Prostitute Association next?"
What? Is this 2009? Is this really NYC? My teeth just set on edge when hatred hides behind a religious face.
Paula tells us the story of Christine Quinn:
New York City Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn, an openly gay Irish American, has refused to march in the Big Apple's St. Patrick's Day parade again this year...
Quinn has said she been asking the parade's organizers, the New York City St. Patrick's Parade and Celebration Committee since 2006 to sit down and have a meeting to discuss possible compromises, but that she has yet to get a response from them
The organizers ... made it clear that she could march as an individual and as a city official but she could not display anything suggesting gay pride or her sexual orientation. So Quinn boycotted the event since, choosing instead to spend this year here in Washington DC. She will be attending a reception for Irish-Americans at the White House tonight night hosted by President Obama, and that will feature Prime Minister Brian Cowen of Ireland. Last year Quinn marched in the LGBT section of Dublin, Ireland's St. Patrick's Day Parade.
This is not just an average city parade run by some small group. This is a full-tilt-boogie-party parade. There are Irish police marching, Irish firefighters, union locals, high schools, religious groups, Irish teachers, and plenty of non-Irish people who are in bands or various groups.
It is not a reverential church-run parade for only strictly observant Catholics where they pass out prayer cards featuring St Patrick. It is a celebration of "all things Irish" -- all things as long as they are not things connected to the GLBT community.
It must be pointed out that not all cities have this ban. Many Catholic-run parades still include all people. Springfield, Missouri -- for example -- sings a different tune. Michelle documents with pictures and says:
I love this: The big winners of the St. Paddy's Day parade were from a Mexican Club
and a gay support group.
How awesome!
We all want to celebrate -- wear shamrocks, drink green beer and laugh -- even if only metaphorically. But then there is this darned lump in the throat. I think the Irish events are lively and probably a good antidote to a depressed country. But an exclusive event? No thanks. I'll pass.
It is a mixed bag.
Ms Fledermaus says it well.
I have mixed feelings about St.Patrick's day. They break down like this:
Happy people wearing green: Good!
Beer: Good!
Parades: Good!
Blarney: Good!
Potatoes: Really, really good!
Springtime: Good good good!
Happy drunken people wearing green and picking fights downtown while watching the parade: Bad.
Bad Irish accents: Bad.
Parades that do not let gay Irish folks parade: Bad.
The cabbage part of corned beef and cabbage: Bad bad bad bad!
St.Patrick driving all the Pagan folks out of Ireland in a metaphor: Baddity bad bad.
Throwing up green beer: Bad, and all too common.
Driving drunk while wearing green and smelling like cabbage: As bad as it gets, people...
This year, in Manhattan, thirteen blocks away, a gay protest was held on 57th St in NYC. But that is not all that is happening as a result of the exclusions.
Joanna points out that in the boroughs of NYC, something inclusive is afoot.
Kick off the month of March with the St. Pat's for All parade ...in Sunnyside and Woodside, Queens. This annual parade began in 2000 as an alternative to Manhattan's St. Patrick's Day parade, which has typically banned LGBT organizations from marching.
Activist Brendan Fay started the alternative parade. The St. Pat's for All website speaks to the mission of the group and points out its nature by whom it has honored:
Ed Fowley... A dedicated and fearless Irish American who reached out to the least in our community, Ed was affectionately known as the "Mayor of Woodside." In 2001 we honored the life of Eileen Egan, friend of Dorothy Day and Mother Theresa she was an internationally respected advocate for non-violence and compassion. .. In 2002, we remembered our beloved friend, Father Mychal Judge Franciscan chaplain to the FDNY. A great supporter of our parade, Mychal died at the World Trade Center on September 11. In 2003 we celebrated the life of Irish American Philip Berrigan, a veteran & a courageous and compassionate man who was tirelessly outspoken against war and militarism. In 2004 we celebrated the life of Frank Durkan, renowned civil rights leader and prominent attorney. Additionally, we highlighted the international movement for equal civil marriage rights. The 2005 parade honored Mary Somosa, advocate for families with children living with disabilities and Stanley Rygor, community activist, celebrated musician and father of the late Robert Rygor. In 2006 we honored the internationally renowned Irish/Irish American brothers of stage and screen, the McCourt brothers, Frank, Malachy, Aiden and Michael McCourt, as well as Irish community organizer and St. Pat's for All co-founder, Ellen Duncan. In 2007, we honored Bronx public school teacher, Caroline Duggan and her Keltic Dream dancers from PS 59 in the Bronx. 2008s grand marshals were NYC Council Speaker Christine Quinn and writer Pete Hamill. The honorees for the 2009 celebration were Belfast born director and screenwriter Terry George and singer Susan McKeown.
Now there is an idea -- host the parade you want to have. At least it gives people uncomfortable with the main parade a place to celebrate. But even though it is ON the bus, it is still not the main part of the bus. It beats no bus -- or does it?
It makes me crazy on a lot of levels.
This is a Saint's Day. A day when doing the right thing might be in the minds of those who claim to be religious, or spiritual, or Irish or all three.
OK ... it has converted into a secular free-for-most, but if that is the case, why draw the line? If it is a party day because you are Irish -- well, have at it. Everybody.
It just makes me so impossibly sad and angry when an event that has any ties to religion is so utterly and preposterously homophobic. It's time the world stopped hurting people. I know that sounds like that just fell from the overly-simplistic lips of Pollyanna, but it is true.
It is time the world stopped hurting people ---all people.
All of this leads me to ask --
1. What do you do when a religious group that you are part of says horrible things, or excludes people? Do you stay in and hope to be the voice of reform? Do you speak out?
2. If you were in NY or Boston, would you attend the parade? Would you march in it? Would you do anything?
3. Do you think the organizers had a right to exclude? Why?

A ring of identity thieves in the Tampa Bay area whose successful modus operandi quickly spread across the country has finally been broken up.
According to a report in the Tampa Tribune, the "Felony Lane" fraud ring, which was so named because it went through bank drive-through tellers and always selected the lane farthest from the building, was stopped by sheriff's deputies in Hillsborough County with five arrests. The suspects were accused of using stolen identities and credit cards at a Tampa bank. Law enforcement officials reported that they found 19 identification cards that did not belong to the victims, as well as wigs and other disguises. They were arrested after a deputy saw two vehicles they were known to drive parked at a Days Inn.
The scam usually worked by having the person that most resembled the consumer whose identity they stole drive to the far lane and ask for a withdrawal, while an accomplice went to the closest window and started a conversation designed to distract the teller.
A police spokesman told the paper that the five suspects in custody are "heavy drug users" who used the scheme to feed their habit. In the days prior to their arrest, this gang went to a local Bank of America and unsuccessfully attempted to withdraw cash with stolen identification. All five were charged with auto burglary, grand theft and petty theft.
The report said that the five were also suspected of breaking into cars in Tampa, Orlando and Fort Lauderdale for the purposes of stealing their victims' identification.
In the past two years, there have been six other arrests in the case, as four people were brought in on charges of breaking into vehicles parked at day care centers, malls and gyms back in January, the report said. Two more, who were connected to 30 vehicle burglaries and believed to have defrauded local banks out of more than $50,000, were arrested after leading deputies on a chase last year.
Consumers can often help protect themselves from identity theft by keeping a close eye on their credit report and investing in a credit monitoring service. Such a plan would alert consumers when thieves from try to open a credit card or bank account in their name.

For my transfer student orientation - that first day at KU - I was listed officially as a Chemistry major (instead of Economics), was in the School of Journalism orientation group, spent three hours in a line trying to get into the right English class... and when I finally got a chance to register for classes (most of which were full), I could not because I had an Applied English hold. Turns out, someone forgot to mention that I had to go prove I speak English... cause you know... I'm from Canada and all.So I end up at this Applied English interview, speaking English as my first language, but the lady asks me what language I had my schooling in. I said "half French, half English." Her pen hovered over the box that said "must take written test" and she hmmed with disaproval, saying "School in French?" I blurted "But my parents are from England!!"With finality she said "Oh well, that's ok then" and gave me a certificate that said I speak English - in case it wasn't obvious when I opened my mouth.

On my first day of college it rained heavily--I was going to Hutch Community College--if you've ever been in Hutch when it rains you know how fast it floods. Well, I was running to my car so I could give a classmate who had some more classes to go to a ride (I was done for the day) and I stepped off a curb into a pothole and ended up breaking my foot. Of course I didnt know it at the time and drove home in my soaking wet clothes on a broken foot (right foot--thank God for cruise control). I pulled up to the Emergency room but couldnt get out of my car. I had to wait for someone to come out and the next person who did was a nurse wheeling an elderly woman to her car. I honked and told her I couldnt get out to walk in and she took me in...what a lovely day. Oh, and of course they called my parents, who worked in Wichita at the time, and told them "there has been an accident, Alison is in the ER" and thats it... so they freaked out. But by the time they made it to the ER I had gotten a friends mom who worked at the hospital to take me home, so I was laying on the couch when they came home and finally saw what happened.Lovely first day! and you know, the girl never told me thank you for the ride.

janeyb~I've been out of HS 25 years and college 21 years and I STILL have that dream. That or the one where I'm 1500 miles away from work and I'm trying to call my Manager to tell her I'm not going to make it to work but I can't make the phone work. sigh

The time Mr. Hand tore up my schedule in front of the whole U.S. history class and then sent me to the Principal's office for being late. Then I was given detention, where I ate sushi and partied with a geek, a stoner, a jock, and a loser. Before I left I made sure to vote for Pedro for President, but I think Tracy Flick won. The reason I was late was because my parents forgot it was my 16th birthday -- as if! -- so I spent most of the day in Chicago with two friends and had fun, went to a Cub's game and got to sing atop a parade float. When I got home that night I hacked into the Pentagon's computer system and almost started WWIII, so I left the house and drove around town in a T-Bird listening to Wolfman Jack. That was a pretty unusual day, I guess.

No memories of the first day of school--supressed them all. But I'm starting my final semester at KU and over the summer I started having the "Dream". The one where it is finals week and I forgot to go to a class the entire the semester. How long does this dream go on?

jayneb, the forgetting to go to a class dream will be replaced by the, "They discovered I am one credit / one class shy and that I need to return the degree," dream in the future. It is the mind trying to give you self doubt of "I haven't earned this / I don't deserve this." Just ignore it and keep on keeping on. Good luck with final semester, and remember to enjoy the good times.

I went to school in Southern Calif., and I don't remember any 1st days, but my 5th grade class took a field trip to Knott's Berry Farm, and my teacher, Betty Dorsey, about 500 lbs and 6 feet tall, told the boys she would tie them to a string attached to her wrist if they misbehaved. She had 3 boys tied to her. You sure couldn't get away with that nowadays!! Of course, that was about 55 years ago. (by the way, I now realize she was probably about 5'7" and probably 185 lbs or so)

Well since tomorrow is the first day here, I will make this promise:On the first day of school I will not cry, I will not scream, I will not run out of my classroom begging to be taken home, I will not cling to my mom and beg her not to leave me, I will be nice to all of the children and I will not take any toys away from others.... Because I am the teacher, I am the teacher, I am the teacher...

I bought a 10/22 from ARnoob. (Nice Guy) I mailed the trigger group off to the StalkingBear. Now the search for a barrell, and stock is on. When I get all the parts I'll run pictures of putting it together, and a range report.
Don't blame the tool, blame the fool.

Cool project. Keep us in the loop.
Oh Gowad, Bobby!! Take lotsa pics, please!!
People get the government they deserve.
Got lucky on GB and found a walnut sporter/rifle stock. Checkered walnut. Not for a 20 inch sporter barrell. Order a weaver classic 1 inch 2X7 scope.
Hurry up brown truck.
I love the big brown truck.
I bought a Boyd's Barracuda stock off EBay a few weeks ago unfinished. That's been my project the past week. Came out looking good after 12 coats of finish. My ERSHaw 18" barrel should be here by the end of next week. I'm also getting a titanium extractor for this baby. Check out gunkings.com if you haven't already.
Still waiting on the Gods to move the people with the barrell, and stock. I really can't say enough about Stalkingbears trigger work. I'll post pictuires and a range report if the dickweeds ever ship the rest of my toys, MUMBLE< MUMBLE< GRUMBLE> CRAP.
That's both good and bad news Bobby. I'm more patient these days, but when a project is being hung up, I tend to get antsy. Keep us in the loop.

Stump cover?
Hi all. This question is not necessarily for just the perennial forum, but I didn't know where else to post it.
I have a small (maybe 2 ft high) old stump that I would like to cover up. I can't think of anything that will do the job. It sits on the western side of the house, so it will get a lot of afternoon sun, not morning sun. Also it is located in a rather moist soil location. I live in a mobile home park, and the park manager was supposed to take it out a long time ago, but never did. I would rather not pay to have it ripped out, just cover it for now. It also sits near (on the stumps northern side) a row of hedges. So anything that might climb might climb into the hedges, which I don't want for hedge trimming purposes. Any suggestions?
Thankyou all,
You might have a difficult time in planting something near the stump since the tree roots probably haven't decomposed much. Try taking a stake or pitch-fork and stabbing the ground in various places around the stump. If you find deep pockets of soil then I think it would be fine to plant things around it. If you do find lots of roots you could maybe plant shallow rooted groundcovers around it, like sedum.
I know all about the stump situation! I had some along the fence line from pyramid evergreens. After a few years they rotted enough so I could take an axe/pruners/shovel to them and dig or cut them away to plant perennials. You might be able to do the same if the roots have rotted some and are not too big.
I also have a stump/mound from an old maple tree in the middle of the yard. I was able to cut some of it out, but not all. So I put a wine barrel half on top of it and use it as a planter. You could always put pots on and around the stump. Maybe even a small fountain or birdbath. What about putting a pritty glazed pot on top with an ornamental grass, perennial, or annual in it?
Hope this helps you some Ken!
I'll probably just try to pull it out myself. It's not a big stump. It is not really in a great place to set a pot either, because there is a wheel chair ramp on the south side, hedges on other side. Thanks for the ideas.
I do have a question though,
Where does one find a half wine barrel? I have looked at garden centers locally and none carry them. All of them online are VERY expensive. I would love to get one to plant some Calla Lily bulbs in for the summer that I bought.
What about a clematis? My autumn blooming one will cover anything. Those grow 30 feet a year and can make a nice mound. Leaves are pretty and the small starry white flowers look and smell lovely. If you have the time you can just check on it every now and then and re-direct any vines that arenÂt going where you want to go around the stump again. IÂm training mine to go up over an arbor so just do this whenever I think about it. If you pick a regular clematis those grow slower and have larger flowers. My folks had a large bush die and could not pay to have it removed (it was about 8 feet tall). My Dad trimmed off all the small twiggy branches and my Mom planted a White Henryii clematis to go over it. In about 2 years it had completely covered the bush and looked beautiful both in and out of bloom.
We had to cut down a diseased Cherry tree several years ago I don't know if this will be of any help but this is what I did with mine. It gets sun until 4 in the afternoon. I found enough soil pockets to plant what you see.
Here is a link that might be useful:
I rotted a stump out in about 3 years. I hacked and chipped until I got a small cavity in the center, filled it with soil and planted what would fit in there....I watered it often and the next year I could hollow more out and planted more flowers. Eventually the sides became so rotton it caved in.
The organisms in the soil and constant moisture causes the wood to decompose fairly rapidly.

Arias, a 17-year-old from the Dominican Republic, received a 50-game suspension after testing positive for metabolites of Boldenone, a performance-enhancing substance in violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
His suspension will be effective immediately upon his signing with a Major League organization. Arias has never appeared in a Minor League game and it's unclear whether he had previously signed with an organization.
Boldenone is an anabolic steroid initially developed for veterinary use. Arias is the second player to be suspended for using the substance this year and the 31st player overall to receive a ban in 2012.
