    who doesnt have full time job?

    I have been working full time, then was switched p/t and will go back to f/t next week. We are running a farm on the side and it sure makes for long hours and lots of frustration. I have been in the same boat as you have in regards to jobs. Too many times I ended up wasting my time at work and...

    Avalon1984-Chicken, horses, pigs, oh my!

    So I decided to sell my bees wax. I found the rest of an old block I had bought and will use that to put on my foundation, since it is so sad and white. I think my yellow wax would be much better served when used in crafts and to make beautiful candles. It can be found in the buy/sell/trade part...

    Beeswax for sale

    Ok, so I decided to sell my first block of beeswax. This wax is very special in that it was made of actual honey comb, not burr comb. Honey comb doesn't yield nearly as much wax as burr comb but in my situation I just wanted to use it all up rather than having to go to waste. So here it goes...

Last year we had a big storm and I had to move some large branches, so I tied them to my truck with a rope and pulled them, that was fun.

    Denim Deb Hay, hay, hay. Thank the Lord!

    Yeah, my good old competetive bicycling days. You'd be amazed what you swallow. I am not allergic but I was out in nowhereland (I did mountain biking, so I was waayyy in the mountains). I took a half hour break, drank some water and then headed back home, which was mostly downhill thankfully...

    MEAT BIRDS THREAD ~Plans, pics, pens, pluckers, processing! GRAPHIC!

    Sounds like you have a good plan there. Our weather has been similar here and I am getting ready to process some of my excess roosters. I will likely just breast them out and use the rest of the meat for our cats or somebody that wants it. They are so scrawny, it just isn't worth the hour it...

    Are posters here HAPPIER having few men in SS Forums?

    I hear you! My hubby taught me to fish but leaves me to what I want to do. I don't spend enough time doing it so I just bought me a cheap rod and reel and I have caught all kinds of bass, sunfish and other stuff with it. I just return them when I am done (much to my dads dismay when he saw what...

    Idea on life without a tractor

    See, that's what I am talking about! There must be more than just a few people having the same problem, lack of neighbors, and lack of equipment. Maybe between all of us we can come up with some real handy ideas on doings things without help or equipment.

    Idea on life without a tractor

    See, I told you there is something very terrifying about how drafts get themselves into messes. I saw a draft once mangle a cattle gate. Looked like a candrywrapper by the time she was done.
