They showed why 1/2" hardware cloth isn't enough - even though a lot of people install it instead of the smaller mesh... they used a baby rattler, about 2 weeks old, to show how easily they squeeze through a half-inch hole.

@HistoPol @jnye That's what the 1/4" hardware cloth is for. I also had to make a second gate lined with cloth, making sure there aren't any gaps anywhere around it larger than about 1/4 inch, and it is buried into the ground about 6 inches. There is a Phoenix-based business (they do rattlesnake removals and snake fence installation) that posts a lot of YouTube videos, one of them explains the requirements of a truly snake proof fence.

@mlanger @jnye The one I am going is over 120 miles away... now even longer due to road work on the main thoroughfare.

@mlanger @jnye Will go this Sunday, taking both dogs.... We are very remote, so it is not easy to find services.

@CoastalCoasting @jnye Yes, that is just a stick. I jump at sticks too these days... 🤣

It is definitely a bird's world here. This one has been serenading around my RV for a while, doesn't even fly off anymore when I step out, he looks at you and then sings even more 😆 Google says this may be a California Thrasher.

Finally got a picture of him! Or her. Our resident #raven #birds. He sat there the whole time watching me do chores, then I quickly got the cell phone, hoping he would finally let me snap a picture. I kept wondering what he was thinking... #Arizona #homesteadlife

🔵Migrating account.🔵 After most of my adult life in South Carolina, I landed in Arizona. 🤔 After a satisfying 6mos on home.social, I landed here because it's closing down. I boosted a few of my old posts, just so as not to be a blank account. As an eclectic poster, I can't promise any exact ratios, but followers will likely see posts to do with:

#USPol
#christofacism
#GermanShepherds
#GSDs
#Arizona
#Homestead
#WritingCommunity
#horses
#dogs
#publishing

Will update a pinned post when the process is complete.
