Whats a bread board and where can I get one? My counter sucks since the previous owner/renter put CONTACT PAPER down to cover some stains.

Go to Walmart and buy Goo Gone. It will get the glue from the contact paper off your counter.

I haven't pulled the paper off it's peeling in pieces on its own. We're just goin to suck it up and get new counters. My preference is butcher block counters but I'm pretty sure my DH wants the Formica stuff yuk

Best thing I've found for getting glue off of stuff is vegetable shortening. Put a heavy coating on, then let it sit for about 10 minutes.

We are going to erect a greenhouse. We bought a Sunshine Gardenhouse 8 x 16 Mt Rainier last year, but ran out of time to get it set up. So, we'll start working on it soon.

Guess I'm going to try to be a raiser of pigs! Yay pigsters!

I would love to get a few pigs that I could have slaughtered at the end of the season for fresh pork, but I think that is a year or two down the line. Right now, I buy grass fed pork from a local farm. Best pork I ever had! I could never go back to buying store bought again.

And, I'd love to have a green/screenhouse. Don't really need a green house where I'm at - but a screen house to keep the stinkin' stinkbugs offa my tomatoes would be awesome. I need to get started on that project real soon.
I can't wait to taste some home grown mostly grass fed pork. I'm giving them a little grain while they're young and growing, but as soon as they go out to pasture I hope they can maintain good condition on grass.

What breed of pigs are you raising? How many?

I've got American Guinea Hogs. We've raised typical feeders hogs before...mostly hamp crosses and they grew well on lots of feed, but the guinea hogs are supposed to be able to grow and mature, albeit slower, on pasture.
I bought two young males and then found a sow with two babies (one male, one female), so I have 5 right now. Plan will be to eat one of the males and either sell or eat the other extra male leaving myself with a breeding trio.
