I have hundreds (Maybe thousands even) of photo of building our house with descriptions of why we chose to things the way we did, how things are done and how they work.

For example this set...

Hi there Pakanohida,

We have about eight Wisteria vines growing around the garden and house with 50 or so chickens in the same area. We've never had any problems related to that combination.

Hi Sun burn,

I guess he's limping because it hurts - probably sprained his foot on a stone or something.

His limping will help protect the damaged foot. You've seen the vet, so there's much...

Thanks for that !

Once I had a name, I looked it up and it's most certainly a Pepino Solanum muricatum.

We don't get fruit flies here Len - so that's a bonus I guess.

I just can't remember...

I planted this from a seed somebody gave me a few months ago and I...

Salut Patrick,

Thanks for your message. I'll answer you questions in the open forum in case there are other francophones who need help.

No, I'm not French but I've been here for over twenty...

I've just found a good article describing how to give an enema in this link : http://en.allexperts.com/q/Goats-3480/2008/3/baby-goat-eating-wont.htm

It's for a goat kid but the same applies to a...

Yes she will - but if she's strong and still eating you can save her.

Cut down on the strength of her next bottle - ie. make it more watery.

Next thing to do is to give her an enema to help...

Kelsval,

She should be pooing several times a day.

Act quickly on this one, go and check as soon as you've read this. The second lot of black poo is incredibly sticky and may have clogged her...

Annette,

I'm so sorry about your friend.

Our flowers are splashed all over the place - wherever I can fit them in the garden. We have tons of food everywhere but the flowers feed our eyes with...

What are your questions ?

Hi Erik,

I live in the South West of France where the weather sounds very similar to yours. We had a low of -17°C in February and in summer regularly have days in the high 30s. Water is a big...

We used an altitude map to plan our house building. The house is in the altitude circle just south of the very top of the hill, hidden in a little wood for protection from the west wind. I thought it...

Quite possibly ! (Says she from France.)

Nice out houses but I guess sometimes in the rain/snow you'd just have to keep it in. ;-)

Silly ? There's nothing wrong with being silly...

Helen, when you right click the mouse you normally then click on the address of the image and post it in the forum using the little photo frame above the posting box but in Flickr if you disable that...

Lovely Helen !

You can't share the pic here because it says in Flickr "The owner has disabled downloading of their photos" but thanks for the link.

Yes please Helen !

What a joy, let's hope they both do well.

It's now over twenty years ago that I sold the wonderfully successful Management Consultancy firm I'd built up from scratch and became just me again. :-)
