If you get a solar array be aware that you also need batteries if the grid power goes out.

So I shouldn't rehome to elsewhere on the property the one that I see on the game camera between the barns? Hmm, or maybe I should. It always shows up when it is well after dark when the chickens are locked up in their "Fort Knox" stall coop. I also see a skunk and the ever present...

Glad those are under cover. The wood fence (here when we bought the place) was patched together like that. Made it easy to attach to the round posts since the boards spanned the posts and were joined between posts. But ... all the board ends under the patch areas have rotted while the rest of...

Until the bill comes ;)

Slow catching up Wow, I'm so sorry!!! I hope they can fix you up. :hugs One quiet night in the bedroom then out to the barn with their Mama Heating Pad brooder or to a broody hen. No light, they sleep. MHP for the win every time. Though now I have Zeus so any new chicks will be out in the barn...

Wow, you need a snake detector so you can find them before the dogs do! Sure glad the most dangerous snake we have here is the common garter snake.

Wow. That is such a classic Ponzi scheme and this guy can't see it? Glad you are smarter than him.

Only 46 to go! ;) Glad you had a good time. It must get expensive traveling to a distant state.

I'm late to the party, as always. Very glad to have you pop in and share your thoughts. You had a rougher last 10 years than a lot of people and with things that are harder for a young person to deal with. I'm glad you are reaching the light end of the tunnel! I'm sure I'm not alone in...

Ype, waiting on the forms to dribble in over the next month or so. Not sure I would want Beta if I lived off grid!! Give me something tried and true.

Very glad to hear all went well TOR!!

I believe you have already paid for it raising him from birth. Very expensive!!

Now now, Mama Wall's eggnog is not crap food ;)

I think you are talking about commercial store bought stuff. I don't think the pork I get from the local farmer is salted at all, other than the bacon of course. And I think I would notice, we hardly use salt at all so any quantity would be noticeable. Low dog in the pecking order. WAY TOO...

Propane is fine at the temps where we all live. They add it to above ground fuel oil (basically cheap diesel) here. Makes it a lot more expensive because kerosene is anything but cheap.

I can give it a try. I DO! Darn Tough™, made in Vermont. Lifetime guarantee but personally I couldn't claim I deserve free replacements given I know it is the boots causing the damage.

Must have been fun digging through 4' of frozen ground to get to the broken pipes!

I've been wearing Dry Shod for a few years. They seem to wear well BUT since like most if not all boots they come only in whole sizes they are a LITTLE too large and rub on my achilles tendon. Wears the socks out real fast. Anyone have a solution for that problem?

Welcome @JessicaAaron Chime in anywhere. There is a "coffee" thread for general chatting and meeting people. Just jump to the last page.

Since she apparently doesn't need the truck for a couple of days, waiting for the thaw sounds like a good plan.
