I don't want her head being all poofy like one of those goldfish with a bright orange external-brain-looking noggin.<br /><br />On the other hand, spray foam surely could keep out burglars and arctic winds just as well as a shop towel.<br /><br />And if you and Lyssa were both talking about plugging up the FENCE instead of what to attach to Nellie's head... well, I've been around Farmer H so long that now I think like him. Even so, there are not enough church pants or spray foam to fix that fence. Farmer H used hog pen fence. You know, the kind with the big squares. That was back when he thought he was going to butcher the neighbor's escaped pot-bellied pigs, which he misidentified as wild boars.Hillbilly Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067833789262242514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896508460812112761.post-63442115473899230762011-01-22T21:15:29.244-06:002011-01-22T21:15:29.244-06:00I admit I have been absent for awhile, but I am in...I admit I have been absent for awhile, but I am intrigued more by your comments than your pie with or without ice cream being served up by a witch. Spray foam ........ he who is prone to temporary repairs keeps the stuff on hand and loves it more than duct tape. Just remember ..... less is more, the stuff expands a lot.Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896508460812112761.post-31781073707821577442011-01-22T20:05:14.521-06:002011-01-22T20:05:14.521-06:00Lyssa,

Though it might provide a tasty snack for Nellie's peers.<br /><br />What we do around here for a gaping hole in part of the Mansion's structure is stuff it with a shop towel. Like during temperatures in the teens, when the kitchen doorknob malfunctioned, and Farmer H declared it was due to somebody trying to break in while we were at work. So he hammered the doorknob out of the door and stuffed the hole with a shop towel. Because shop towels are magical, and stop burglars and arctic winds.Hillbilly Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067833789262242514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896508460812112761.post-68991743936443805062011-01-22T10:15:24.549-06:002011-01-22T10:15:24.549-06:00I have no advice for your flaky pastry weirdo, onl...I have no advice for your flaky pastry weirdo, only sadness that you had the misfortune to have to deal with her sass. As far as how to keep your goats from sticking their heads in the fence each and every bloomin' day, here's my story/nonsense/advice that is sure to work:<br /><br />One day as a newly married couple, my dear, sweet, and home improvement challenged husband came up with a way to plug a hole similiar to yours (only yours is a fence and ours was in the wall). The air conditioner was no longer needed in January, you see. But those window units, well, they're heavy and awkward. Wouldn't it be easier to leave it there year round, sez he? But there's a gap in the space between the unit and the window, sez I. And it's snowing. Not a problem, he sez cheerfully. And proceeded to plug the said hole with his good church pants.<br />From there on, it was dubbed The White Trash Wall. Was it because of the pants sticking out of the wall, or because he had to wear bermuda shorts to church? We may never know.<br />So, do what we do: use pants.melyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01984914375593665050noreply@blogger.com
