Besides getting this blog site setup, I decided to work on my Chipmunk problem in the yard.
I've built my first trap and in 'pure' Uncle Bob fashion, it has to be simple and easy to build.
Most of all, it has to work!
I'm not exactly a purest when it comes to ridding my yard of pesty rodents, with extreme prejudice, but in the spirit of things, I decided to build something that will work either way.
It's in the yard now for testing and so far it's captured 3 field mice and only a curious chipmunk.
Need to work on better bait for I know the system works!
Though not opposed to shooting the pests, my neighbors prefer I refrain...
Poison is out... just don't know were they crawl up and die.
That smell can be worst than the damage they do... especially if in the house..
Simple design, one moving part and took me an hour to make it up.
Prefect Uncle Bob Project!
If you think I'm being harsh, check this out this product!
Have to tell ya... I like the way these guys think, just not Uncle Bob style.
Once 'yard proven', I'll put it up on the website.

Introduction to Uncle Bob's Workshop
27 Sept 2011
creation of Uncle Bob's Workshop
I've been a carpenter going on 38 years. I've been involved with all aspects of home construction including design and supervision. For a period of time, I owned and operated my own construction company and now am currently employed as a Finish Carpenter Foreman in the Boston area. Walk into any of the 'high end' foyer's in and around Boston and chances are 'we' did it!
I am married with quite an extended family and have been known as 'Uncle Bob' to all the kiddo's, whether friend or family, old or young for as long as I can remember. Always enjoyed the term of endearment and have come up with something new for the kids, of all ages, to have some fun with each time we get together.
My attention has always been towards building vs buying. There is a point of pride associated with actually doing it yourself, not to mention the cost savings. My intent with this site is to educate others to this ideal and pass along a few projects I have proved to work. Of course there's a monetary reason as well. Uncle Bob is heading towards retirement and it would be nice if this turned into a supplementary income.
It has been 2 years of saying I will do this. I'm happy to see it's finally up! Still lots to learn about this website stuff, but it's a start.http://unclebobsworkshop.info
