Streak Free Windows

I have found a way to clean windows without getting the streaking. I spray the whole window down with spray away glass cleaner. I wait until the foaming is done. Then I rub down the whole window really well using a rag. Then I take another dry rag and keep wiping it until the window is totally dry. It works every time.

Getting Rid Of Mold And Mildew

If you have some surface mold someplace you can easily get rid of it by wiping it down with a sponge soaked in straight bleach.

If your mold is more then surface mold then you need to take out the wall or where ever it is at. Then get a garden sprayer and fill it with straight bleach and spray the studs or area all down several times until there is no sign of the mold or mildew and then replace the sheet rock or whatever you had to get rid of. After you replace the sheet rock paint it with Kiltz Latex 2 primer and then a semi gloss or satin paint.

Found A Cure For The Raven Problem

As I posted before, I was having trouble with Ravens getting into my chicken house and taking the chickens eggs and killing my chickens. Well I had enough of them the other day so I decided that it was time to really do something about it.
I made some scarecrows, nothing fancy but they seem to be doing the trick. I screwed a board to the side of each chicken house. I planned it so that the board would be about 7 feet up off of the ground. I wanted the scarecrows to be really intimidating. Then I screwed an old pair of jeans to the chicken house right under the board. I used long wood screws so that is would be sturdy. I tied knots in the bottoms of each leg and stuffed them with shopping bags. Then I put a shirt down over the board. I stapled the back of the shirt to the board with a staple gun. I tucked the bottom of the shirt down into the pant and then nailed it all together to the side of the house. I stuffed the shirt with old shopping bags. I tied a knot in the sleeves and stuffed them with plastic egg crates. Then for the head I used old feed bags. I just bunched them up into a ball, put the ball down on the top of the board and then stapled around the head with a staple gun onto the board. I took a permanent marker and drew a face. I pulled the neck of the shirt up to the head and stapled again. Then I took a bright yellow safety hat and put it on. It looked huge and scary.
Now, it was time for the test. I let my dog outside. She went crazy growling and barking. She thought they were real. It has been two days and no problems yet with the ravens. I see them circle my yard, but then they leave. They want nothing to do with a 7 foot man in a safety hat.

Ravens Are Dangerous Around Chickens !

I have been having a hard time lately to get any eggs. I thought at first that my chickens just were not laying. After a few days of there not being any eggs, I got very suspicious. I noticed one morning that there was a raven in the chicken fence. Then a few days later I saw a raven flying with an egg shell. That raven was going into my hen house and eating the eggs before I could get them. So I started leaving my chickens closed in the house until I got their eggs for the day and then I would let them out in the fence.
Sunday I was at Church, and my husband left the house to pick me up. He brought the dog with him, so all was quiet in my yard. A raven killed one of my chickens. This chicken was huge. It weighed about 8 pounds. The raven struck it in the back of the neck with one hard peck killed it and then carried it off. We found the chicken when we got home laying on the ground and could tell by the wound that it was a big bird that had done it, also we saw the raven and then sure enough he came back after the chicken. We were only gone about 15 minutes. I was shocked, the egg thing was bad enough but killing my chicken that is really going way too far.
Today I went to a friends house and came home to find that my chicken nest that the chicken was laying on, in order to hatch the eggs was empty. The chickens were all spooked and about 20 eggs were gone. My guess, that raven again. And the worst part is my husband can't get a shot at him, he is too fast. He is going to wipe out my chickens.
