Hmm...apartment renting. Ya have to do, what you have to do. But I would suggest checking local trailer parks. You can sometimes find a trailer you can buy on the cheap and the lot you rent from the park lower then renting an apartment. This gives you more controll over such things as efficency...

I have an interest in gold prospecting. Which lead me to http://www.backyardmetalcasting.com/ Nice forums. Can add that into a self sufficent skill as well should the need arise. If you have some welding skills, can work with refactory (concrete), and have acess to used motor oil can make a...

not to thread jack, but anyone interested in making thier own ingots???

Can't trust stuff on the ground, had a flood 3 weeks ago.

Oy! this is soooo frustrating! You all are coming up with great ideas. My only problem is I don't have the materials you're suggesting to use. (sigh). You have no idea how much I wish I had some barrels, cinder block, anything I could use to just lay these pieces of plywood across. But we don't...

Wildsky, Why thanks for the offer, when shall I be expecting you?

Oh man!!! And moose can be one of the most dangerous critters in the woods at times! Ya know, there was a tribe of first nations in the kentucky, tennesse area, that before a brave could hunt white tail, to prove thier skill in the woods would have to touch one before ever killing one! And...

Perhaps I should reword that. Nothing larger then 15" long. I'd say well over half of what's in that bin is less then 4" long. Doing a remodling project I learned rather quickly to save EVERY bit of scrap until the job is done, save's having to buy extra lumber you're just gonna cut of as a...

both sets of saw horses are already in use, no handy pile of cinder blocks or barrels.... other then 4 full sheets of this exterior plywood, the only other materials I have is a garbage can full of scrap 2x4's, but nothing longer then 15". Note, ever since the world went "gree" can't find...

Since I've mentioned it in just about every forum on SS already. I've made great progress on my sale last two days. But this still leaves me with a delema with how tight I have stuff crammed onto shelves. It just dawned on me reciently that I had stupidly sold of a pile of 2x4's and 2x6's. Had...

SKR8PN, Funny you should mention that, I actually had a Dick's "hunting expert" swear that only 'real deer hunting' could be done from a tree stand. I tried really hard not to laugh, thinking all they while how many 1000's of years the first nations people hunted deer, elk, moose, and never...

Currently, rabbit, squirrel and dove hunting with pellet guns. Can't wait till I can get out and do some deer hunting. For better or worse we don't have an issue of feral hogs here, although I almost wish we did because I love a good bbq! Not interested in duck, goose or turkey hunting, unless I...

Whether or not to legalize marijuana is just one of those political hot potatoes that most will never agree 100% on. When you think about such issues you need to look back in history on how America came into being. What our founding fathers ment this great country of ours to be. The concept, new...

Xpc, Yes I know those as well. This isn't the first time I've done sales like this. Just the first time I've had to do it all by myself after having folks "promise" to help me. Last 10+ years, ex/fiance and I would plan garage sales are her place. It's a much better location and none of the...

Nice work there xpc! You're making me sooo jealous! I can't wait to have my own place I can start working on. Soon....very soon! <sigh>

Xpc, Having been a retail manager, oh boy am I well aware of how easily things grow feet!!! A common tactic was for a pair or more people to come into a store, one would distract myself or other crew members while the rest of the group would start filling pockets and such. You have no idea how...

Wanted to resurrect this thread again. In a few hours, after taking a "nap", I'l get back down stairs again. Going to be another scorcher here again today, so it's not like I can sit around watching tv or chatting online. Besides I have to get this sale done! For most items I've got it worked...

So, earlier I had asked questions about smoke houses and I got a lesson from SKR8PN, on the difference between hot and cold smoking. Thank you very much for clearifying that for me SKR8PN! It forced me to do more research and more reading. But this has only led to more questions. After doing...

I mentioned in my journal here that while arranging books I'm selling I went through them once more. In doing so, I came across a copy of "The Foxfire Book Of Appalachain Cookery". I know for sure I also have Foxfire #1 and the Foxfire book of wine making. So I'm wondering... 1)Who else owns...

I too don't want to add to the naysayer's. But of all the wild life indigenous to the america's, racoons are one of the smartest if not the smartest. Coon story #1 While camping with some friends, I was the only fisherman of the group. After spending the day fishing I wasn't feeling so well...
