    Hi Everyone!

    Good to see you again, solucky. So's you're gonna redo, remodel, and update the ol' place? Just the kind of work, I love to do. Of course I have my perfect DH to do the hard stuff, but what I've learned from the BOSS stands me in good stead when I work with our all women group building HFH...

    Hello there

    How-dee, ChickAdee! That is a great plan you have, fixing up one to sell for money to buy the next house. We did much the same.

    Wisconsin Roll Call

    Good to hear from you, dragonshiner. My family is from Oconto. Been to Peshtigo from time to time in my mis-spent youth. I always belittled the Chicago fire in my teaching of Wisconsin and gave you top billing. THAT's the real reason we have a National Fire Prevention Week. Has nothing to do...

    Wisconsin Roll Call

    As long as the BYC is down, I might as well explore other sites suggested by BYC. So. . . here I am. This is my second group on self-sufficiency. I am trying to be as self-reliant as possible here on my piece of the planet. This sounds like a perfect match for me. Love, Smart Red (aka Linn Bee)...
