<<Not full cords are going for $300>> I think you need to get out of communist CA if thats the cost of wood!! We live with not a tree in sight (well almost) and get a cord and half for $35. In reference to my post above, if you will need to pay $300 a cord, stick with fuel oil!

We bought a corn/pellet stove and hate it!! It can burn either corn or pellets. Neither one would heat the small house. When it got below 0 we couldnt get our house above 50!! I grew up with wood stoves and am very partial to them. They heat much better, and are cheaper (in most areas.)...

If any of ya'll live in the midwest and have a HyVee grocery store, they carry it as well as borax and fels naptha.

LOL. We used to do a good business in treestands. We'd find one on our property and take it down. Some years we'd find 4+. Always held on to them for a while, just to see if anyone would inquire about them. (Oh uh hi, I put a treestand up and your posted land, but you took it down and I was...

"Chickens", then "garden", the this site and "cows."

We live in a double wide trailer, with a "normal house" roof. I believe they say we would need ALL triple wall stainless pipe.... big $$$$$$$$

Agreed! And as for me (the OP), I dont wantonly waste things, no. But I'm not giving up soda pop. And I'm not giving up my truck... the only thing that would take me where I need to go (other than feet, which, I literally would not have time for in my occupation) is horses. If gas becomes...

That post, made this whole thread I started worthwhile for me, as it is something that had never even occurred to me before. I am not, nor pretend to be a scientist. My opinions are based on articles I have read in journals, but moreso, my gut feelings. Do I think pollution is bad? Yes...

reinbeau said: No disrespect intended, but you've touched on what my problem is with 'global warming'. Why do the two have to be tied together (global warming and pollution)? I don't believe in GW. Anyone who has really paid attention knows the earth has cycles it goes through. Humans have...

Alot of good points on this post. Maybe I was stirring the pot a bit, but I truly am tired of having "green" "organic" and "carbon footprints" stuffed down my throat. I drive a gas guzzler because it is required for my fall/winter occupation, fur trapping. Fur- the original renewable coat...

Ok here it is. I was reading a post where some people here were on another poster for drinking OJ in a plastic bottle. Granted, they were friendly about it, and nothing wrong was done in the post. But it got me to thinking. I could care less if I use 50 plastic bottles a day. A lot of them...

I used a cheese grater and is working fine. I too wondered how a mini food proccessor would work, and when I run out, I'm gonna try it.

Good ideas. We have bees, but they're my husbands. I've been waiting to find my own swarm, but no luck yet. I have no credit cards, or car payments, but gas is a killer. I drive nearly 30 miles one way to work!! My one venture in beeswax candles didnt work. They would not burn!? Guess I...

Alright, blackberries ahould be ripe here now, guess I'll take the plunge and try it!

I try to be pretty frugal, but I am absolutely HORRIBLE about leaving lights on. Yes, I admit it, he goes around turning the lights out after ME. lol.

Ok lots of good points here. First of all, I am no where near retirement age LOL, I'm 27. My husband is nearly 30 years my senior. He loves to live in the country, and is cool with chickens and gardens. The thing I can't convince him of is livestock. I want a milk cow, or at the very...

Hoosier girl...does it require wine yeast, or bread yeast? If doesnt require wine yeast, I'm definitely in!

Well that's definitely something to consider, but I'm not sure how it would work for me. I'm not a very personable person lol. I'd be completely happy if my nearest neighbor was a mile away. But it is something I will definitely think about.
