Are we sure we're not confusing "Amazing Stories" with the new "Twilight Zones" from the 80's. One of the two had an episode where this kid had a shadow man coming out from under his bed at night to kill. The kid got cocky because his shadow man wouldnt hurt him but got killed by a shadow man from under someone elses bed.

Probably opening up a huge can of $h!t with this, but didnt the HBC's raise a fuss about the play-in game being from the weakest conference winners because that put them in a play-in scenerio virtually every year?

You talkin' your own boat or a charter. In Kona, HI the boat owns all of the fish caught. Good luck telling a captain whose fished 30 years for a grander your going to let it go. You'll be swimming with it.
re: High Fence for the Neighbor
Posted by 4nmylifetime on 2/24/12 at 7:35 am
Okay sorry to leave for a day. Thanks for the posts. Many had the same thoughts as I. I do think that he is bluffing as high fences run for around 10,000 a mile depending on how easy a line is to run. Malnutrition, desease and breeding were issue I were aware of but had not thought about state regs on issues. We have about 250 acre that adjoin his land. 100 of that is soy beans summer/wheat in the winter. 125 of it is hardwoods that were select cut two seasons ago and there is only about 25 acers of bedding area left. His land is 600 acers of unthined young pines. You can sit and watch the deer pour off of him onto us. In the end it's his land and he's free to do with it what he wants. If he high fences it it's not the end of the world but we will feel the effects of it on that piece of our hunting land.
Not that it matters but the land owner is in his late fifties. He married into his land and money and is my father in laws first cousin by marriage. I cant say much about marrying into good fortune as that is how I came to be able to hunt where I hunt, but at least I dont take it for granted or carry myself about as if I have actually built something on my own. He's a dick. He knows it and doesnt care but I'm cordial when I see him.

High Fence for the Neighbor
Posted by 4nmylifetime on 2/23/12 at 11:43 am
The adjoining land owner to our property that we hunt is planning on putting up a high fence on his property. He is put off by the fact that he has bedding area and we have food source. He has stated several times "we need to stop shooting his deer" when they come onto us. That's a different issue all together so lets not worry about how stupid that is. The facts are that this guy does not hunt and does not plan to hunt the 600 hundred acres. He is just one of those unhappy people with a bunch of money and a sense of entitlement. He has 600 hundred acres and plans to enclose all of it. I can think of several issues he is going to run into with this plan, but what does the OB think?

My neighbors on both sides already have hurricane fences around their yards. So if i put a privacy fence up, there will be back to back fences around my backyard with about a foot of space in between the two fences.
This makes putting your fence up even easier.Take your back line for example. If you are going to run your fence at the back of your yard from one neighbors corner to the other neighbors corner (assuming that they were set straight up and down), run a string about 18" off of the ground from corner to corner and run another one about 48" off of the ground above that one. When you set your post look at your two strings. If the post is flush with both of them but not pushing one out then the post is good in that direction(you still have to put the level on the side of the post to make sure it is staight up and down that way though). You can easily do this project and will love it once your done.

The fence is necessary to block the view to the neighbors dogs (boxer/lab? Mix) that go absolutely apeshit when People walk around my backyard.
Doable? Or does anyone see problems putting up this fence?
A few things to consider. First you are going to have to put the pickets facing to the inside because only a foot of space will not be enough room to work between the two fences. The alternative or one way to have your pickets facing out is to build the fence in sections and mount each section to the posts facing out. This 1 foot space is going to grow weeds and grass. The easiest way to manage this is weed killer such as round-up. If a ball or anything else gets between the fences it is going to be a pain in the arse to get it out as well. Also remember that if your pickets are facing out when one warpes and pulls out it will ba a major pain to replace it because you would have to pull out the entire section just to get to it. I would probably just mount mine facing in if it were me. I used screws instead of nails when I put mine up and whenever a picket has gone bad it takes about 30 seconds to replace it. I also saved about $2500 in labor by building it myself.
As far as the issue of the neighbors dog you are going to have to go an extra mile to eliminate this issue. My fence is not a shadow box. I put it up with the pickets flushed up against each other. If you use new pickets they are going to dry out in about 3 months and shrink. No matter how tight you put the pickets next to each other a gap will still be there every 6 inches between the pickets. these gaps allow my dog to be very aware of it if someone or something is on the other side. Even if you were to put a cloth screen totaly eliminating the ability to peek through the pickets a dog can still hear and smell. Dont get me wrong. Good fences make good neighbors but it's not going to solve the dogs going apeshit.

is it worth the markup to let someone else do it.
It's easy enough job to do with two people for sure - rent an auger and set all the posts. Use a long level to make sure they're straight.
Let them set up a few hours, then start hanging the runners.
Use all weather screws - don't waste your time using nails.
Use something consistent for a spacer between boards too - check periodically with level to make sure it keeps all squared up. The top of the fence is more important to watch than necessarily the bottom (I think!).
power drill for screws and skilsaw for trimming, plus a level are the basic tools needed.
Run a string is the first step. Also the top is easy if you are not going for the super fancy precut decorative posts. Just set the posts a few inches high and cut to length. You can also make your own fancy top if you are somewhat proficient with a skill saw. Just set the angle and depth on the saw and make your notch cuts on four side and you have your cut little fence post hexagon top.

re: chew proof dog beds?
Posted by 4nmylifetime on 2/15/12 at 11:36 am
I have an 18 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback. He gets 20-25 miles a week of road work in and has energy to burn. At about the 4 mile mark on a run he settles in. My wife has lost 38 lbs since July working that dog (after two kids and 8 years of marriage she had gained a few). He's still on his first bed. It could be that we just got lucky but I think the energy burn is mostly to thank. He also has a fenced in back yard. There has been some minor digging but nothing extreme. Had I not waited until my life had the time to be fair to the dog and had I not done my research to know what I was getting myself and my family into it would have been a miserable 18 months with a 100lb wad of muscle and energy.

I had typed out a whole spill but bottom line is work your dog and he will settle down. If you dont have the time to work you dog you should have considered this before getting him. I also would suggest reading Ceasar Milan's book "Be The Pack Leader".

Futurama episode Jurassic Bark
I didn't want to mention this because I wanted to stick to movies like mentioned in the OP, but if we're talking TV too then my Lord yes at this. I had heard/read about this and was like "Futurama? No way" so I watched it online. I saw how much time was left in the episode close to the end and was wondering what the hell all the fuss was about. Then in that last 30-60 seconds it was just...damn.
yeah but the ending of the episode about the lucky 4 leaf clover got me more than the dog episode. I spent the next few minutes thinking how lonely it would be to wake up hundreds of years in the future and realize how much of your life you had missed out on.
