I need some ideas for making outdoor enclosure walls, i had cinder blocks for walls and my wife hated them. She said all the blocks in my backyard (sulcata pen, Redfoot pen and box turtle pen) made her yard look like a jail cell so I had to get rid of all the blocks. Now I'm trying to find something she likes. I liked the blocks because they weren't attached to anything and could move them and change shape as needed. I didn't know she hated them so bad until she broke down in tears and was yelling at me. She let me give the sully free range of the entire back yard so now I just need to find something for the Redfoots and box turtles. Luckily they are all still small and living in indoor enclosure but this spring is when I was going to start letting them out more often.

I made a wooden enclosure. It isn't as versatile and will eventually break down, but it's definitely more aesthetically pleasing!

With my old cinderblock leopard zone, I painted all the blocks, then started in on painting grass and African animals. Its not done yet, but in my mind it will look neat.

I had wanted to do one side of the redfoot area in the landscape natural look block, but that gets expensive. So have been playing with the thought of painting the blocks like a old natural stone piece wall.

Hey, I'm in SC near Columbia. What music do you speak of?

Also Kerryann when are you heading through the area?

We went through last night around 8 pm. I'm in Virginia now.

:'( Darn. I still like Cameron's thought of getting a bunch of females to use as bait.

I want the crappy linoleum out of the kitchen and bamboo in the kitchen and dining room. But never happen. That stuff is too expensive for me...I don't have a honeydo,

If you have a lumber liquidators near you check them for flooring. We always get our floors from them. Laminate is really easy too. Mike and I do floors together. He cuts, I put it in. Maybe next weekend I'll repaint my master bathroom.

can i meet your nephew one day? did it cost a lot of money to do what he does?

You start by studying your a** off. It's not easy to get a dream job, you need a good education and it doesn't sound to me like you're getting one. You have to work hard for anything worthwhile. Ken's nephew didn't get that job thrown at him because he's cute. It's because he's educated about his interest. You'd better put on your big boy pants and start getting an education or you'll be seeing what the inside of mens shelters look like....said with most love and respect...ya right

It took about 5 months for my guy to be found...don't give up. Go out early in the morning and crawl around on your hands and knees and look at stuff from tortoise level....I'm sorry, I know it's awful....

I'm currently 3 years into a Wildlife Ecology and Management degree. It's certainly not easy but it definitely helps that I genuinely enjoy every aspect of what I'm learning! I think the hardest part was actually the earlier years when I was doing the general education courses... not terribly difficult but BOORING. Now that I'm into classes that actually pertain to the major, it's more fun than anything (I do have to make myself forget how much money I spent in order for them to be fun, though )

 

[Jacqui]

When your done with school, what job are you seeking?

Morning Steven

Oh that's so awful, don't give up looking.

This is the "kid" (sorry....still call you a kid) that I like.

This is the hope and future of America.

We finished our powder room guest bath (other than installing the door).

View attachment 119350

Kept almost everything as it came with the house but replaced faucet/tp holder/towel ring and painted or stained the rest!

That's very pretty, Kim. I wouldn't have ever thought of that dark color to paint bathroom walls, but seeing it like this, I really like it. It looks very rich.

This sounds terrible but I haven't really decided yet

I could easily get a job at a zoo or something like that with the degree. I am more interested in field research. I would have to do more schooling to do my own studies but there are plenty of job opportunities with USFWS, etc. helping to collect data and what not. There's a really cool job opportunity that just popped up that involved tagging and tracking mountain lions either for the state Game and Parks or USFWS, can't remember. The minimum requirement for that job was a bachelor's degree so hopefully I can get into stuff like that after I graduate. There aren't a lot of people going into the field, but there also aren't a lot of jobs in the field, so it can get pretty competitive
