FOUL WEATHERED FIEND

Posted on by Nichole S.

Foul weathered fiend. Not so much actually, but I was going for alliteration. He’s far too cute to actually be called a “fiend.” I’ve driven by this skeleton several times and he has been ready for some lobstering even before this week’s nasty weather rolled in.

The 2021 Middle Street Walk will be held on Saturday, December 11, 2021.

Hank standing tall, although wet, on his favorite branch

Hunting should improve after the Northeast storm lets up
Maybe the crows will then leave him alone

About your home from Jameson at Another Level Home Inspection LLC

Polybutylene piping (PB) is plastic piping that was used as a plumbing supply pipe from 1978 to 1995.

So why would I want to know more about it? Home inspectors rarely come across PB in our area, but we do find it occasionally. PB piping can be identified in a few ways. It is…
