    I am splatter painting my daughters wall. Her room is yellow, purple, black, red and magenta mixed, like a kid mixing the colors together. It is ugly.

  • I think I found a grave in my backyard. It is a too big to be animal and is marked with stones, what to do?

    My husband was clearing some of the trees off to the side of the yard, and found this very old looking grave under neath a tree...who on earth do we call to possibly have this removed off of the property? Julie, when I bought the property it had never been occupied, some old farm land. It doesn't have a grave marker, but is just surrounded by small stones...I think it would be best to have it removed, as we are having landscape work done and there is no way they can dig up and grade the land with a body on it... I'm sure this happens more frequently than not... Why would I be in for trouble? I just bought the land in October, last year and had my house built on it...I was told the land had never been occupied previously...(NC) @Meanolmaw, I hope its nothing! I will be sure to keep you updated...as far as not disturbing it, it just can't be done...we've already paid to have contractors do a lot of landscaping and building in the backyard...hopefully its just an old dog, but it just strikes me odd, that someone would go through a lot of trouble placing so many stones on top of a rather large animal grave, its very old, lots of moss covered stones, and there are no other stones back there at ALL! NONE! Very strange...will take your advice...thanks a lot...

  • Would you call this a farm?, Hobby farm, Backyard farm, not a farm at all, or something else?

    Additional Details

    I came into this after the death of my father in law. He had about an acre and a half of land which his house, barn, and garage / workshop sits on. this property used to have access to an alfalfa field about 7 acres in size, but the family is building on it now. We get hay from another field about 20 miles away, that field is divided up among family members, but will not be developed due to family politics. on the acre and a half, we have seven goats, five geese, and over 150 chickens during the breeding season (we usually sell about 75% as chicks or young birds, and retain the rest for meat and breeding). we also sell goats, geese, and eggs. What would you call this operation? is it a farm? I am having an identity crisis about what to call this? Thanks for reading.
