Hi, don't take this wrong as it is not my intention. I see that you are from Finland. Your English is good. There are several words that you use that could be changed, but the most important one would be "MINE". If you would replace the word "MINE" with the word "my" it would be much easier to read in the USA. As to your problem, I really do not have a good answer. My mother has a pear tree and the raccoons took every one of them off. Do you have Raccoons there?

Oh, I am so sorry, you have my sympathy. It must have been the week for water damage. After a summer of 100 plus degree temps and no rain, Monday night a wind storm took off the roof of our office building, and then the rain came. Tuesday on my way to a dr appt I get a call that the office has been flooded. This is our second floor in a month, mind you. The property restoration people showed up not long after I got there, with their fans and dehumidifers. It looked like a mess, but that we would survive. It rained Tuesday night. Office flooded again. More carpet sucking, then carpet removal, more dehumidifiers and fans, Thursday it rained again, TWICE. By now it was way past funny and on the threshold of disaster. Fortunately the computers and files were fine, just everything else was soggy and/or destroyed. Clients of ours gave us some temp space until they can rehab our entire office. It rained again last night, I ran up to check today. They had supposedly temporarily fixed the leak, but I didn't trust it, but lo and behold, the floor was dry and a massive blower with super hot air was blowing through the office. Monday we have to tackle inventorying what was destroyed and trying to decide how to store what didn't die.

We'll do a group chant "house sell to gardener, house sell to gardener..." I'd either have sprayed the neigbor back, or you know me, taken off my clothes and started to shower while she sprayed me. That'd run her off wouldn't it? The hose works when sprayed on kids too. You know my neighbor problems, well, they were having group sessions (I guess) out in the alley! I "accidently" sprayed them while watering the yard. Then my dear lovely husband went out & took pictures of them. No more alley meetings! I guess at least they didn't break them off. Put your sprinkler heads on an elbow joint. That will let them flex a little and less prone to being broken off. Elbow joints are pretty cheap too. Tally HO!

How is it still a mess after all that sanding TWP is the best finish for outdoor projects I have found yet of course it takes a little more than the basic dump truck driver to put it on. Do not use a belt sander, a 5'' orbital with 80 grit pads works well, This guy sells some good stuff far as prep goes>> www.restoreadeck.comYou exist to see Jeff Gordon win his 5th Nascar Championship.
