Great job on the welding. I forget - are you wanting the skill for commercial uses, or crafting?
BTW - I love lime green. Bet those booties are cute. My step-son swore his child would never wear lime green (not manly) so I bought him lots of it. - And yes, he wore it cause Mamaw Karen got it for him.
I think it's a great idea!
I know that's what I'll end up doing, buying land and figuring out housing later... BUILD A YURT! Or a cob house.. yesss! Do that, and I'll visit.
