    Crafts using Recycled Materials

    I like the look. But was wondering how it will be for the plants. Tires do offgas a good bit. So I reckon they would leech into soil too. Anyone know for a fact if they do?

    CJ - Musings of a Dreamer

    I would really like to continue on with fine arts. But this, like the trade school I attended makes more sense for the future. I did the fine arts academy thing in high school. And I loved it. But there wasn't much of a future in it.

    CJ - Musings of a Dreamer

    I'm not looking to change careers or anything. But I'd like to get a little formal education in agriculture or botany for when I do finally make the move from the workforce to homesteading full time.

    CJ - Musings of a Dreamer

    Okay. So I've been doing some thinking recently And made a decision after the morning meeting today. Once we go to crewing they will be limiting overtime to 12 hours a week. Unless there is a need to fill a position because someone is on vacation. So as soon as we go to crewing and I get back on...

    Bike tires also make great tire swings if you cut and turn them inside out.

    My Greenhouse Construction Thread (picture heavy)

    Ok. That's not too bad. I make good money but am trying to stick to a plan right now. As you may have already seen in my pics I have a delapadated slab in the fenced part of my yard. Its 18'x14' right now it's holding junk and my little compost bins. I've been thinking about dedicating it to a...

    Send me some. Well yeah. I could live off of them. I want to do a straight raspberry wine grown here to save. No sugar no extras. Just raspberry. But it takes a LOT of them. So. I'm out back weeding the garden. And they aren't looking good. The leaves on the northern facing side are dropping...

    Thank you. Only when it comes to metal and canvas. I'm completely lost when it comes to wood. Thanks for the link by the way. I've always liked handmade jewelry more than store bought stuff. I can't wait to have little ones of my own. But my little brothers are still young enough to enjoy it...

    Hand Tools

    A portable hand cranked coal or charcoal forge and a mean file. Could make whatever else I need. Haven't picked one up yet. But I intend to. Oh. And I know how nouns and different terms mean different things mean different things in different areas. But where I grew up this is a prybar And...

    Sugar free options?

    Gonna try that. Just one addition. I've had friends that have followed my recipeies that require alcohol and low heat that have completely destroyed the meal by using too much heat. Please remember. Ethanol boils at 173F/78C so you don't have to get it really hot.

    What can we do?

    Yeah. My barely working mouthfilter completely breaks when I have more than a couple. I'm already very opinionated. So drink doesn't help me any. But it's still fun to cut loose from time to time. Especially with the sheer volume of hours I work.
