    Lime and Snakes

    Oops...I guess I should have been a little clearer. I don't want to kill the animals or anything, only snakes. I am trying to protect like my makeshift vegetable garden, plants, grass, etc but want to keep the rabbits and squirrels away. The only thing I don't mind killing are snakes and bugs...

    Greetings

    I'm a mom (obviously), and I am fairly new at this, but am more into it than my hubbie...Nice to meet you all. :)

    Townhome Living and Noise

    We just recently moved into a brand new townhome. We are concerned about our noisy three children disturbing the neighbors but a friend of mine told me that they build the townhomes now with buffers in between them so that you can't hear your neighbors. Is this true? Can they hear the kids...

    Lime and Snakes

    Fake Deck

    We just bought a townhome that does not have any type of deck or patio in the backyard. The backyard is fenced in, really nice, but I would like to put some type of "fake" deck or patio out there prior to purchasing patio furniture. Any ideas?
