Baymule’s Journal

[Margali]

I’m thinking if you have a TSC credit card, you get a discount on your first purchase. Might be a good idea for a large purchase.

I got one... 20% extra off first purchase. Any purchase over ~400 can get 5% back or 12 months no interest.

I pulled trim off, around a door. Got to looking at it and thought the house shifted, quickly followed by, it’s sitting on concrete runners, it won’t shift. I looked closer. There is trim pieces used as shims to possibly fix a shoddy build, then covered by trim.

Blah!

That is why fixing anything always worries me... pull up one tiny corner... and smack, you see so much more that needs fixing.

No worry, I’m going to cover it right back up with trim!

I will check on amount needed for the discount. And on charging it. Not looking forward to moving the wire and T-posts.

I know somebody with a 18’ flatbed trailer and a 16’ stock trailer.

If your guy with cows on your land will use his tractor with hay forks, y’all can break the bundles of 200. Then take the bundles of 5, put on forks and he can put them where you want them.

OR y’all can go tractor shopping!

All @Ridgetop has to do is go buy T-posts and wire in one big whallop. Don’t forget gates! Only 16’ gates, tractor room, truck and trailer room, no squeezing through a little gate!

There’s the 103F thing……. I need help to stretch the wire, then staple and secure it.

The 103°F thing, yeah that is a job stopper. But you don't need no stinkin' help to put up the fence! I did mine all alone. Greybeard had lots of good advice on fence building.

There is trim pieces used as shims to possibly fix a shoddy build, then covered by trim.

"shoddy" is a VERY generous term for that build!

Can you get delivery? That is an option here AND may be a free one with your neighbors club.

TSC here doesn't do delivery.

Be careful everyone. And I need to get on a ladder too but that ain’t happen in’. I’m much better today but still very sore and hydration issues. Minor chores took much longer so more sun time. Also yard and pasture heavily and deeply cracked now. No place for old ladies(in training) on crutches or canes.

Sulphur Springs TSC does not deliver. I am considering ordering the posts and wire before we come in September when we will have the truck. If we can figure out what we need, I will take out the TSC credit card and put everything on it, including gates, additional hot wire, etc., like Baymule says. Then we can get the additional discount on all the fencing stuff at one time. I need to check my calendar to see how long we can stay into October. I know there is a Fraternity reunion DH wants to go to and is hoping to bring our children since it is the last one they are going to have. The frat has been disbanded for over 40 years and these old guys are dropping like flies so . . . . DH and his co-pledges are almost the last class to join so you can see that the median age is !

Electrician will be rewiring the Yantis house in September too. He said he has a fellow to help with or install the fence. Might call to talk to fence guy. Moving away from family is bad since I have 3 sons and 2 SILs to help with heavy work, plus grandsons for fetch and carry here. This is why wagon trains usually held several families traveling together. Combining strength not just for trip protection, but for success with new ranches. My family (except DS1) won't move with us, so we will have to do it ourselves. It will cost a lot more without having a homegrown workforce to work for free.

With the extra discount using a TSC credit card I might decide to wait on the fence materials and try to install the fence in February/March when we come back in our 5th wheel for our niece's daughter's wedding. The tenants might be moving out around then too so we can bring a large trailer of corral panels, etc. and just stay in the house.
