    Skunk Smell Remedy?

    So in my attempt to get rid of a skunk this morning, it decided if it was going to die, it would die (and stink) under my deck. Originally the smell was so bad that it gave me the dry heaves carrying the skunk away. It's not that bad now, but still not too good. Anyone have a good home remedy...

    Removing Stumps Naturally?

    I have a couple of stumps that need to go. I cut them off low and flat, and cut a bunch of slits in them to hold the rain water. Is there something else I can put in the slits to speed up the rotting process that is not harmful to 2 little boys and a fur-lizzard? I was thinking salt, maybe. Any...

    Creeks and rivers are high here. We live on high ground, so I'm not worried for us. There are a few schools letting out early, a few roads closed, and I even heard of a small bridge washed out within 20 miles of us. Anyone have any trouble? I hope not. Let's hope this trend continues through...
