I agree with this. I had 6 roosting in my car port roof. I shot 2 with a shotgun one evening and the other 4 never showed back up. I realize this would be hard to do in a residential area though.
We have steel siding, soffit, fascia, and roof on our barndominium house. No paint or maintenance and should last a lifetime. To me, it looks very nice, but I understand that it's not everyone's cup of tea.
My kids all wear academy camo. It's about the cheapest kids camo I can find consistently and the quality is not bad. If I didn't have my youngest coming up into them, I'd send you some clothes for free.
So sorry for your loss. I lost one of my life long very best friends about 9 days ago to a private plane crash. I always worried about him being a pilot, he was too bold to own a plane. My heart goes out to you and the family. It's tough. There's so much I wish I could say to him right now.
We've had a Speed Queen set since 2017 after coming from a stinky, top load, high efficiency joke of a washing machine. We have been very pleased with Speed Queen. It's all I'll ever buy again.
2000 Toyota Tundra Access Cab with 204,000 miles. Had to replace the transmission at 175k because of a failed bearing. Hoping to get at least 300k out of it.
