We have had squirrels get up there, but it is not frequent. I’ve considered creating a tube section in the middle, and painting it, but it hasn’t been a big issue for us. Thanks for watching!
A little bit of grounds are actually good for your plumbing. Coffee grounds are acidic and can help break up some of the fats and other junk that can line your pipes. I tap on the basket like you do and put that on the garden but the rest I just rinse out. No problem.
MY FATHER made one is about 12 feet tall couple of years ago with rail robes to pull the feeders down & up BUT is all made up with Metal, steel & cement inside & each arms like u is 4 is long with hooks built into it so u can hang 3 feeders on each arms, & is very deep in the ground even truck hit it would NOT fall down or get damaged ..urs is nice 2👍
The sleeve does not touch the ground, rather it sits elevated off the ground resting on some spacers. It sits slightly behind the trim pieces which provided a cleaner looking edge visually and this way I didn’t need drill into the sleeve.
Not sure why but about 2 minutes into the video I said to myself "this gives me major UP vibes" just to finally open my eyes and see the t-shirt! Must be some subliminal messaging hey! Greetings from the Soo, might have to steal some ideas for my feeder pole this summer.
I like it Jeff. Have something similar. The vinyl pole is definitely a squirrel deterrent. But black oil sunflower seeds in a platform feeder, (like your blue house), brings in the grackles and starlings. After yrs of putting up with them, I just took down my platform feeder, and put up a screened tube feeder with thistle. Good luck.
Excellent build and video. Im here watching vids for ideas on some bird feeder stations I need to build for our cats entertainment so appreciate your well documented process.
I don't get it ! Most all assembly could have Been done on a work bench . A PVC post and a few scrap sat. Tv dishes would have done this cheaper and kept the feed out of the rain.
Thank you for doing this to save the planet, although it is quite tempting to just pay the 50c and put the disposable plastic in the garbage and be done with it. I also like that Have you tried the compostable pods?
Agree. Thanks for saying so: the whole idea was to remove steps for making and dealing with coffee time - now there's way more extra steps! haha ....dammit
Thanks! We didn’t have a squirrel on it all summer, and I wish I could say that we have never had one, but we saw one this past October. Since then we haven’t seen one. So mostly squirrel proof! Of the squirrels that live around our house, it was the “smart” one..
It has been a while since I played the game, but I believe that they would respawn. Im not sure if updates to the game have changed since I played last.
The filter I use to catch the grounds that stick to the K-cups is tapped out directly over the trash can, or with smaller amounts of grounds, on to a folder paper towel or a secondary trash container. The mesh on that filter can start to clog up with regular use and drain slowly, so using some dish soap with a soft brush cleans it well. I would say I do that once a week or when I notice that the filter is draining more slowly. However, rereading your comment, I am not sure if you are referring to a different filter for a different Keurig model? If so, unfortunately I am not familiar with so of the other devices. Thank you for the question!
When you cut the grown yucca down from your farm, does it come back? Or do you have to clear the farm and replant it? I keep waiting for mine to come back but they don’t grow unless I clear the plot and plant more yucca fruit. On ps4. Maybe I’m not waiting long enough. Seems like 3 in-game days go by and they still look dead.
@@jeffschmidt207 you were right! I just left them alone and went along doing other things and they eventually regrew. That’s awesome because there was always so much water leftover in the plot and clearing it then regrowing them gets rid of all the retained water
Thanks for the question, I have been waiting to see if mine will regrow. They look dead and do NOT highlight as a yuca. It is as if the plot dried out and they died, but the plot has had water the entire time.
