SKR8PN I probably did see your project. I did a search of the forums for green houses. I will check your link though to see any new progress. Suggestion, if you need supplimental light, research led's. There's been some major investments in led grow lights. Incandesent lights waste too much...

Snow loads...that would be a concern. While we've had 20 some years of tempurate winters, we can occationally be nailed with easily over a foot. I have a book on green house building that they show the structural requirements for green houses that will have to deal with this issue. Because of...

In my dreams... I wake up in the morning, after taking care the morning nessities in my master bath, I head down to my kitchen, first pouring myself a cup of coffee I harvested from my own coffee plants. Then I grab a few slices of home made bread that I've toasted and covered with my home made...

I've read through this entire thread. Many good points have been made about how do you define "saving" money. I really wish I could have had a garden this year. Lack of employment, spending most of my time looking for work and the rest of the time packing to move or working on estate sale has...

I do agree with you too Ldychef2k. Some may say it's not moral to live here "rent free". I'm looking at it from the stand point that last year, while my mother was still alive she attempted to get a loan modification. The mortgage holder played games with us for nearly 6 months, before I finally...

Haven't checked those threads yet, will do so shortly. No, I took your comments the way you ment them. On further research about cookie diets as a meal replacement, it's as you say a come on. This is basically restricting your calorie intake to way below even what's conicdered healthy. I do...

If you've had the idiot tube on even for a short while the last say year or so, you've probably caught that commerical where they ask, "Who's had their hands in the cookie jar", and it's all about these diet cookies that are used as meal supplements. I would be really interested in finding a...

Oh, you'll know when it's bad alright. When I was about 9yrs old, I ate an egg-salad sandwich that was bad. Couldn't stop vomiting for days. And now over 30 years later I cannot eat mayo. I can only have salad dressing like mircle whip or such on sandwiches. Eggs don't bother me though. XPC...

Yeah, but really who isn't going through tough times right now? Without getting invovled into a politcal debate/argument, I do have a gut feeling things are going to get worse before they get better. Few points I do wanna clear up though. First of which is I'm not working. Being able to find a...

I've already posted on here a few times that I'm getting ready to move. Loosing the home I've inherited and all that. I'm past the point of this bringing me down anymore, I'm actually looking forward to a move as a fresh start and all that jazz. One of the things that I really want to work on...

I ment to post this the other day, but just remembered now. For those of you that have issues of having to lift your ka mixer form where it's stored or are wishing to save counter space I do believe I've found the perfect solution. As you will see in the picutures in the customer reviews of this...

Okay, I hear what you all are saying. Anyone care to comment on the brand Chicago Cutlery? My local grocery store carries a basic 3 piece set, that includes a 3" paring, 6" kitchen and a 8" shidoku <sp> knife. Price is fair at less then $30 and looks to be of good quality. This would be a good...

Thanks to those that repsonded. Xpc, I really apperciated your straight up assessment of things. It's nice to dream and all, but sometimes it's also best to have someone keep one tethered to the ground so to speak. I do realize that I over simplified issues when I said there were two...

I posted in another forum that I'm about to move, and am looking for a place to live in a rural area. I hopes is to find either an "in town" house with large lot so I can garden, or even better yet, a small farmette that I can either rent or rent to own. But, I do realize this may not be...

Oh yes, caring for knives is most important. Problem in my family was "mom always knew best". Rather frustrating when I once caught her attempting to cut a loaf of bread with my filet knives! As I commented on her use of my knife that had a specific use, I cringed as I heard the blade smack into...

As I've been going through house looking for stuff that is either junk and needs to tossed out, sold in estate sale or worthy/nessary to keep once I get moved, I've gone through the kitchen. After years of dealing with my mother's no named, poorly taken care of cutlery, I'm ready to make a break...

Oh, I must have misunderstood. You needed more light! Soz! It takes a bit of planning, because of what becomes ripe when, and whether or not you'll be doing a winter garden. But once yard is cleaned out, plant your tallest plants on the north side, and then the next tallest and so on. It's sort...

I just inherited my mother's. She bought it as a house warming gift to herself way back in 1977, thing is still strong as ever. At that time Kitchen aid sold an accesory pack which mom bought as well. This included the meat grinder, juicer, and veggie slicer. Besides that she also bought the...

Yep that's what I'm concidering. Left a message with the chairman of the Illinois Commerical fisherman's Association. Still waiting for a reply though... <sigh>

If someone else didn't mention, I was going to. It's not to late for a fall garden. I didn't plant anything due pending move. But I do remember when I was younger planting things like brussels sprouts, spinach, peas. Do a bit of research and I'm sure you'll find even more that you might be...
