The up north thread

Tidbits and News related to northern Wisconsin. 

Hey there! How are my northern brethren doing up there in a Canada hey? That is spoken with a McKenzie brother accent. Got up there 3 times this year. All great! Did not make it up to a Canada hey but about half way there. 

We have a Schley pole building. It was put up in 2014. Very happy with it. We choose Schley over Northland. But if you’re going to insulate it Northland may be a better option.  At that time we contacted Cleary also and they never returned are calls. Oneida county.

I have a Northland building. Very happy with it. Chose it over a Cleary building.

We have a Northland buildings pole building. Built in 2017 and still looks as if built yesterday. They will travel to where the work is needed. Very satisfied

If my roadside stroll means anything looks like good rasperberry crop this summer. Not so good blueberries

One of the neighbors in Iron county who can afford almost anything went with a Menards pole building. Menards I would guess will provide you with names of contractors. Worth checking into. Otherwise your local lumber dealer will provide names. 

Cleary buildings builds pole barns all over the state including vilas County

Any recommendations for a builder that does post frame(pole building) garages in Vilas County?

Those are some nice gills npike.

I've had really good luck with the grass seed called Athletic Mix that I buy at the local feed mill (Peshtigo). Not sure what the mix is but it's used on sports fields.

There's yet to be an area in WI we haven't been able to have Kentucky bluegrass fill in nicely. There's so many options out there now, it's hard to say.

Any recommendations for a grass seed in the Northwoods?

It’s on hillside facing south towards lake.

Wife wants some grass.😳

Menards and Ace hardware both have Neem oil.

Has anyone tried this for the leaf eaters? It would probably be a 70 mile round trip to Antigo to get the Neem oil.

Those are some dandies npike - really nice!

I can second the little caterpillars, they are everywhere.  The mosquitoes are awful as well!

One of the veterans that was here for vets week sprayed the resort (thank you Herb!!!) I can't tell you what a difference it has made. Once you get out of the resort the bugs will literally carry you away., but sitting here now and grilling out -  not a single one!

When the mosquitoes get really bad, it kind of takes the joy out of being outside - so nice to be able to enjoy the outdoors mosquito free!  He was also able to use a blend that doesn't have all the nasty chemicals in it, it was Cedarwood oil, garlic, and something else I can't recall...
