Now that's my dream. I've been looking at places around the country, a few wooded acres (I get so tired of mowing 5 acres!), a little house, all...
Alan Titchmarsh and Ground Force was the only one I would set aside the time for. Very inspirational, the other shows always seemed to want to go...

An update on this, I sealed the hole the little rascal had chewed in the top of the wellhouse wall and baited a live-trap. And three days later,...
