Today is the day of the week we put our trash out to be picked up and that means that i have to get all the cans from the house to the curb. This is not an issue on days when I do not work but when I get home at 7am and stumble up the stairs to get in the house sometimes I flat forget to get the house trash down to the curb. Then all hell breaks loose when my wife has to take the trash down to the curb, it is not like I forget on purpose. I will try harder to get my chores done and get the trash down to the curb in time for the trash truck to pick it up. I promise.

Rabbits everywhere
Our yard has been filled up with rabbits the last few weeks and they have eaten almost everything that was growing that they could get a hold of out in the yard. We have decided to try and find a humane way to remove some of the critters and get them back to the lake where they belong. The critters have to cross a major road to get to our yard from the lake and I do not want to see them hit by cars on the road. We have looked into a rabbit trap to humanely catch and release them closer to the lake. Not harming the critters is a major point with us.
The best humane rabbit trap that we found was located on the web site for HaveaHart.com they have a lot of other different kinds of traps that will work for us in our battle to move the rabbits out of our yard. We have had several other “pets” this year including squirrels and deer in the yard but the rabbits have all of the others way out numbered this year at least. I think if we can move the rabbits the other critters will get the idea and hit the road themselves.
Custom Home
My brother is building a custom home and for his builder he has selected Schumacher Homes as his custom builder. They have built several homes for people in our family and every one of them has been top notch, finished on time and under budget. There has been nothing for us to complain about from this builder and if I was building a new home I know who I would select to do the building, Schumacher Homes is the one I would select for sure. Schumacher Homes keeps you involved every step of the way and will build the house that you want not one like what everyone else has. My brother has had input on every stage and he is very happy with the results.
Rebate?
It seems that every time WE get an item at the store that has a mail in rebate, that WE do not send in the said rebate until it has expired and thus is useless. WE waste the money on said item by not sending in the rebate and thus paying more for the item than WE should of. WE never get the rebates that WE could of saved, I am guessing thousands of dollars WE have wasted by not sending in rebates. I am pretty sure that WE are not the only people in America caught up in this terrible scam. The scam of rebates that they know WE will never send in thus saving these devious companies thousands upon thousands of dollars.
New screens
We have ordered new screens for our patio doors and can not wait for them to get here. We ordered a french door screen from Stoett Industries. I love the way these screens make our patio seem a part of the house. Besides keeping out the bugs and allowing us to us our patio most days of the year this great French Door screen keeps people from seeing into our patio and into our house from that vantage. Stoett Industries has a fine web site with a great selection of screen doors that can be use on patios and garages to make the space a whole lot more usable and a lot more user friendly at the same time.
