Pre paint sounds like a job for that 15 yr old! 😂

It's interesting to me

Still have plenty of boxes at sons house, I plan on go getting some. Only problem is I’m running out of room. Going to build shelves in small utility room. Was going to get 1x12’s yesterday with truck, but it was drizzling rain. Those boards cost too much to get them wet! I do have enough to get started, may put kids to work painting them. I pre-paint, assemble, then put on a touch up coat of paint. Much easier!

"Those boards cost too much to get them wet!"

Yes, yes they do.

Good afternoon all, ☕️
Having what’s left of this mornings coffee, just finished vacuuming and getting some wash done. I made a pan of red chili beef enchiladas for dinner.
I am also making this —

Pulled out a cauldron and made up some witches brew tonight.

Well actually I made up a double batch of lotion but it's like making a potion.

Lotion 👎 was at the neighbors, went to the bathroom. They had pump thing on the sink, I thought it was soap. Nope... some kind of healing lotion, it jacked my hands up for over a week.

Some of those commercial ones are crap. Hubby had horrible hands for decades. Thick flakey skin that split at the joints. He'd tried it all. Some made his hands painful and red. Most didn't help.

This is that lotion that I researched what herbs and oils to use. Helped out my head and ear eczema so I'd taken a jar to Mom to try. Helped her arm skin issue she's had since a teen. She was a convert. She uses it on my Dad's feet as well.

Mom gave one of my uncles a jar because he has a skin condition and all commercial stuff made it worse. He was back a few weeks later asking if she had more and wanting to trade for it. It had noticeably helped. So she gave him some of what I'd taken down last June. He asked how much it cost me to make it so I figured it out and he commissioned me to make him a bunch.

It doesn't cure the conditions, but has helped alleviate the symptoms. It's just herb extraction in oil and water with a few other oils and easy to get ingredients.

As for my head and ear issues, those are under control and I haven't had a flare up in months.

With the lotion encouraging cell regrowth and rinsing with apple cider vinegar every day and letting it set a few minutes, it went away. I've had flare ups since a teen, the last one just wouldn't go away.

Someone mentioned encyclopedias recently. I'm on Team Encyclopedia now. The local library is prepping for a book sale. They asked me if I wanted a 2018 World Book set that no one has used. ever. Never been opened. Yes please! How much? "free will donation" I gave them $30 and they asked if I wanted change. I would have given more if I had it in my purse. A 2022 set is $1,200.
