When hurricane Beryl first hit us, a large tree came down on our property line. It looked like it was on the chicken coop, well and outdoor shower. I went out to check on my chickens and see if there was anything I could do to help them.

    I did it 20+ years ago in a 2000 sq ft house. What a pain in the ass. I ended up pulling the goggles and mask off for the last 30 minutes... I just couldn't take it anymore. I just moved into a new house. Debating if I want to go through this again. Loved your video--it shows what it's really like for DIYers, and not just one of those videos showing the pros easily doing it, making it look like it's nothing.

    Metal can be used to scrape a glass jar. It won't leave a mark because the hardness of glass is greater. You can take a dull knife and scrape the label off. Glass can only be scratched by rocks (from vegetables or potted plants), other glass or other less common minerals. Commercial jars can also be filled with boiling hot material and capped right away. They will not break. You keep them on a flat plate, and not a drenched towel. They have pointy feet and low contact with the counter. Avoid scrubbing the lids with any powders. Use some soft material, soap, isopropanol or white spirit. The paint scratches easily. Isopropanol can fade some inks. White spirit is for glue. The chicked scare the hell out of me.

    I cried too..as heart-worm testing comes with regular yearly checkups from your veterinarian. Ppl please keep your pets on heart worn preventative meds, is an inexpensive and responsible solution to ensure your pets well being. There is also ProHeart 6 which is a heartworm prevention shot that lasts six months and is an alternative to giving them a monthly heart worm pill. The average heart-worm treatment cost ranges from $500 - $1,100 depending on the dog's size, the stage of the disease and if you are taking advantage of the lower cost veterinarian clinics. The typical treatment protocol includes blood tests and x-rays to measure the heartworm infection load, also sedatives, pain medication, and antibiotics for killing the parasites. This video was upsetting, especially when there is an affordable and simple solution often not taken by pet owners. There are pet insurance providers that can help shoulder the cost of care as well as low cost vets available in every state Sorry, but it is what it is…so keep your pets safe with a pill each month. Heartguard is approximately $40 for dogs up to 25 lbs with chewable’s that protects them for 6 months.
