    So I'm thinking of opening a camp. Maybe.

    I'd be interested in attending "camp" but 1 week would be to long for me. 3 days would be ideal for me. Any longer than that and I'd feel guilty about the work I had at home waiting to be done. I would really like to learn soap making under the guidance of an experienced soaper. A waiver...

    Honey

    We get our honey in 5 gallon buckets. I heat it in my stock pot until it is hot (Not boiling)and then pour into canning jars and seal with lids and rings. You can just pour into jars and cap without heating. I use heat method to create a seal. The seal is nice when you give honey as a gift

    Rusty canning rings

    Next time I need lids I'll buy lids with rings and take better care of the rings. Any craft ideas for rusty old canning rings? If I can't find another use for them they will go to the scrap yard for recycling.

    Rusty canning rings

    Most of my canning rings are heavily rusted. They still do the job but they look bad. When do you toss them? Could I spray paint them?

    does anyone have good source for root growth hormone?

    I have a can around her somewhere, but the last time I needed it I couldn't find the darn stuff! The next time I went to the local green house I begged a spoonful from the proprieter. You only need a a little bit. If I could find that can I'd send you a spoonful.

    Homeade-Septic friendly toilet cleaner?

    I'm tired of paying $3-4 a bottle for toilet cleaner. Although the disposable scubber heads are nice, they are such a waste. Bleach works great but is bad for the septic. I've thought of trying vinegar but can't get past the thought of the toilet smelling like pickles. What are you using to...

    Attitudes towards "Trash Picking"

    I think this crib was one of the recalled ones. Probably not safe to pass on. It will make beautiful gates for my stairway and kitchen. I may even use the sides to make a folding portable gate. The wood is beautiful.

    Attitudes towards "Trash Picking"

    Scored today. Was out working today and spotted a "jenny Lind" type crib in the trash. It was in perfect condition.

    Attitudes towards "Trash Picking"

    My neighbor makes several hundred dollars a year picking up scrap metal on trash day. I've found some great stuff myself. We once found a Gravely tractor complete with snowblower (worth about $800) in the trash. It still ran, DH fixed the timing and it is now our best machine. We often put...

    C'mon confess.What sinful luxury do you hold on to?

    Cable TV and the DVR. I love that DVR. Oh, and the internet can't go without SS, BYC and Craigslist. I'd gladly do away with the land line phone and cell phone if it wasn't necessary for work. Yes the bill for these is ridiculous, I have it set up for e-bill and autopayment from checking, This...
