Super Self-Sufficient
Thanks, @sumi! The wood projects have been a lot of fun, and are promising a side income if we keep getting the free crates. M is the one with most of the ideas though. He's really super creative, and worked in carpentry years (and years) ago. I help organize, paint, sand... I did help alot on the little rooster house, though.
Yep, the pecan trees are coming down, but right now we don't have a tall enough ladder. We can't afford to have them professionally done, but M is really good with a chainsaw if he can reach. We're saving a few on the edge of the property for shade, but want several others down so we can plant more fruit trees, and to cut down on the falling branches. I'm trying to convince M to post "free pecan wood/cut your own" on Craig's list and see if anyone bites.
I was hoping to paint today, but now the rain is here. We've gotten more than an inch in the last hour and it's supposed to last all day and into the weekend. I doubt anything will dry. All my rain barrels are full. Hate to even think it, but I might have to work inside for a day or so... And just when it's finally cool enough to enjoy being outside!
