I just sat down and read this ENTIRE thread.
GREAT info. Thank you for sharing this whole experience.
I'm considering getting a few pigs in the near future - can't beat the 'free' price - but I'm not prepared AT ALL. It's helpful to see someone start out with zero prep and still have an...
What's the general opinion about stacking filled jars with cardboard between layers?
I've heard that it's perfectly fine - others say it's a death sentence.
Well DUH - - gutters on a fence don't have anything for the water to flow OFF OF and into the gutter...
I've really got to think BEFORE I type :hide But.. slanting a small roof over the 2 waterers might work.
Weren't there about a dozen recalls because of shoddy production and unsanitary conditions BEFORE the shutdown - while all the inspectors were doing their inspecting??? And the problems were only found after people started getting sick?
Reviving an old thread...
Anyone ever tried putting a gutter system on a fence?
I don't have gutters on the house (yet) and the only side of the barn that has them is also where the gate is to access the paddock - so adding collection tanks would narrow that alley way.
BUT - I have a very...
Yeah - some of the 'drama' would've made my eyes roll if it happened on my farm.
"Really? What the heck did you have your hand in there for anyway? Go wrap it up and get back out here, we've got work to do."
Just that one idea sort of caught my imagination.
You're right about the chicken...
I think it was 10' high because of how far it had to go. The reason for a tank - if I remember right - was something about the pump working for short periods but not able to run for hours??? So they were going to fill the tank and then have available water from that. I think.
It was a big...
haha - dumped the roommate - so far my power bill has dropped by half - the groceries are a 1/3 what they were and the contentment of me and the house pets is off the charts.
This is - very likely - one of those things that start out as "Wow! What a great idea. I really need to do this." and turns into 'Not in this lifetime!".
Do any of yall watch Homestead Rescue? This weekend I saw one where they put a large water tank on a 10' high platform. the idea was to...
Doesn't do a thing for the gallons of garbage juice soaked into every crack, crevice, rivet hole.... :sick
Usually, when garbage is transported in covered tractor trailers, it's 'bailed'. Which means that it's been packed into gigantic tarp bags. That keeps the bits and pieces contained - but...
You're not required to keep it concealed are you? I mean, here in VA, if any part of the weapon is hidden it's considered concealed - so it's best to have the license. That way you can wear it on your belt and not worry if you put on a jacket.
Jumping in late to the conversation - but I've been wondering about all these produce recalls this year.
I work at a landfill. We have a few trucks every day from brokers who hire drivers to pull loads without the driver having any idea of what they're pulling or what type of facility they're...
