Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Birth of a deer camp

Just finished snarfing down some ribs. I almost hurt myself on them, pretty easy to do with smoked/grilled pork.

I'm nearing the final stages of a room remodel. Hung the new door today and picked up the sheetrock yesterday.

Happy Easter to all!

Happy birthday Bill!

Happy Birthday Bill! I hope it was a good one.

Happy Birthday Bill.

Just getting caught up on the thread while I wait for the 2nd bottle of liquid plumr to hopefully take care of the clog in my tub drain. I don't know much about plumin', but it is not good when the tub don't drain and the toilet don't flush. And no I didn't plug the toilet.

A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY,Bill.

Stan in SC

I spoke with dusty this morning. He called to say happy easter and to visit a little. He is done with his radiation treatment and he's actually been working a little this week.

Dusty asked that i help express his gratitude for all of the prayers and well wishes he's recieved from the campfire forums.

He says "i dont know how an old guy can have so many great friends from all over the world praying for him and saying such nice things."


He says it has helped him a great deal, he told me the screen gets a little blurry from wet eyes when he's reading it all "but thats ok" he says, then laughs a little.

I want to thank you all as well. I jump on a lot of the prayer request stuff myself but you dont realize how meaningful it all is until you are on the recieving side.


Thanks very much everybody.

Thanks be to God. Glad to see the flame of the 'Fire burning brightly in the hearts of our many great members who so willingly pray for others well being. Easter wishes to the whole Chickenbuck family, and all our members as we reflect on the resurrection of Christ.

I don't think uncle dusty knows how much he means to some of us!


Happy Easter to all. It's a great day here. Me and my bil sat in the boat and dram beer till dinner.

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone.

Dusty if we can help in any way just ask.

Muffy, good luck with the drain. I hate plumbing issues too.

Muffy, you could have a venting issue. I think we have one here too. The drains, drain slow, but there's nothing plugged in them...at least not in the house.

Jim is coming back tomorrow to do some more work on it. I will mention the venting thing to him. What do you do about that? I'm totally plumber retarded.

Mom, dad, and Brad just left a little bit ago. The parents brought supper. Thank you!!! It was very nice since I can't really cook anything till I get my fridge and stove on Thursday. I can't wait to get them so I can make them a nice home cooked meal. I guess I could have made them Swedish pancakes, I have a griddle.

Going to Sears tomorrow to see what they would charge to deliver the appliances. My friends said they would help, but they have already done so much for me. Plus the doors have to be taken off and the freezer drawer has to be taken out to fit in the door. Might be much easier that way, if they deliver.

If you bought the appliance from Sears, it's probably free. I'm not sure though. When we bought the appliances for the house we built, the furniture/appliance store delivered and installed them.

I'm not sure how it all works, I'm also plumbing retarded. I can hook up the drains and water lines but that's about it.

It has to do with getting the air out of your drains or the water (and other stuff ) won't go down the drain.

T and Muffy, on windy days do you notice the water in your Toilet moving at all? If so your venting is fine.

It is somewhat rare for venting to be the cause of slow drains.

The purpose of the vent is to allow air into the drain system. The air entering from the roof is to prevent the flow of waste-water from siphoning the water out of the P-trap under the sink.

Are you losing the water (trap seal) from your P-traps? Are you getting any odor in the house?

Muffy, have someone get up on the roof and make sure the vent is clear. Birds have been known to make nests on vent pipes.

Well I am back in the good ol' USA. God Bless America. I didn't think much of the part of Europe that I saw. Lots of smokers, rude bikers (bicycles), tons of littering, not very good food and so very crowded. People everywhere and narrow streets make for an environment I dont like that much. Some do I guess, but not me.

I am so very glad that we have Stan's dog breed named properly, that was weighing heavy on my mind!

Ryan, take care out there, you only get on set of arms!

Muffy, are you sure Tzone didnt use your new bathroom? that would explain a lot actually....

Actually, yes. When we wash clothes, ocaisionally the drain in the laundry room does emit an odor.

No problem with the toilets or kitchen sink though. Just the bathrooms.

There is no odor in the house. The local handy man went on the roof and he said the vent is fine. The landlord was here about 4 times today. Didn't do much. Poured acid down the tub drain twice. That didn't do the trick. After all that and a whole wasted day, he is finally going to call a plumber. Hope he can get here soon and get it taken care of. Sick of going to the laundry mat to go to the bathroom. Tonight I think I will use the lavitory at the local watering hole.

Tom, when I bought the appliances they said it was not free delivery. But with all the help I have had, I don't want them to have to do that too. Plus with having to take the doors and freezer drawer off the fridge, let Sears worry about it. They can deliver on Saturday.
