Barn cats, well, they are barn cats, they stay in the barn and they are supposed to keep the mice out of the grain bins!
Bootsy the Cat
Bootsy the Cat
Every cat has it's day? If you've lived on a farm you know what barn cats are, they are usually just on the edge of wild and seldom live long, they breed a bit too fast and they have a job. They're job is mousing! They are supposed to keep the mouse population down, so they don't eat and contaminate your grain.

Every year we get a new batch of kitty's, seems there is always one who just won't settle for being an ol' barn cat and wants to be a house cat.

We can't take 'em all in so we will try to adopt them out, or find them a home. This weekend a little orphan kitty, decided he was going to be a house cat. He followed us up from the barn and pestered us til we gave him some milk.

That did it, now he's sure he's a house cat. Bootsy is really cute, he spent most of Sunday playing with a Pit Bull and sleeping.

He is mostly black with four white socks, (boots). We can't keep the little fella, so if you're in the market for a kitten, let me know. This little guy really likes to snuggle. I kept him in bed with me last night and he just snuggled right up.


 
 
I was back down at the farm this week, the septic system my in-laws put in in the 80's was having some problems. I searched for someone in the area but it seems that the closest honey wagon or septic service to Rich Hill is clear down in Nevada, MO.

The folks from Long and Snead were willing to come out the same day I called them and they had a reasonable fee. Septic service is not an easy line of work, the folks that provide these services have a really shitty job.

Many Realtors who have not dealt with rural property have no idea what is involved in septic maintenance and more importantly septic inspections that are required for any government back loans, like HUD, VA or USDA. Many lenders also require septic inspections for real estate transfers. These can be deal killers if they fail. Fortunately this was not an inspection but just some routine service. This septic system had been installed in 1985, back then people believed you should seal the clean-out shut.

Bad idea, we had to break through the lid with a sledge hammer to gain access.

The system was completely full of solids, the small tank had was so full that it was bubbling up from the ground near the house.

The situation was pretty ugly, but I put the back hoe attachment on my ol' John Deere and we dug out a new lateral line for the old system. We had to weld up a plate for a cover since we had smashed the old cover in with a sledge hammer.

Long days work, but now the toilet flushes with authority!

We found that this small tank was likely no bigger than 250 gallons, that's pretty tiny for any house. I guess we will have to have it pumped more often.

Anyway if I can help you with your real estate needs please give me a call, and thanks for visiting http://www.batescountyrealestate.com
