I couldn't do it in the house. I would have to find a place far and away from my house, but raising feed for my livestock is not an unthinkable prospect. These babies are not exactly my idea of pill bugs either. Those I will encourage with living conditions under pieces of damp bark and turn...

Interesting read! Welcome to the sufficientSelf gang!

Welcome to Wisconsin, @wyoDreamer! We are south-est, central-est Wisconsin of Rock County, on 30 acres. One of my biggest problems with on line sites is my zone envy. I suspect there's none where you live -- you must be solid a zone 4, to my borderline zone 5. I get to experiment a bit more...

@Thistlebloom! A moose whispered that today was your birthday. I am sorry so much of the day passed without you getting a big, birthday :thumbsup from me. Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Hugs too!

I am happy for you and Smokey. While I can't help much with rabbit illness, I was worried for you both.

To all my friends here: have a great day, stay safe, give thanks for the people in your life that bring you up. And thank you all for making this site a favorite one for me.

Pictures of the 'broken' bathroom floor. No way this happened in one day. This shows problems of long standing that they never mentioned to us until last Sunday. They never thought to mention a water leak in the kitchen either. This is not a one day problem either. It's been months to have...

Took a few shots inside. Not where work is being done, but they show the potential of this old house.

@frustratedearthmother, your post brought a pop-up ad for in-ground pools. Look though I might, I couldn't see a cat in the pool, though.

That sign on the Ford is a bit tacky, but says a lot.

Today is Kenny's birthday. I hope he has a day that is special and one that adds pleasant memories. Kenny is a newbie who joined Nov. 14th.

Here's where we are now. Son vowed he'd get the front siding on before winter. See the snow? See the snow fall? Fall, snow, fall. Winter has come early and I'm doubting it's getting any further. See my DSO and my DOG. Enjoy the dog, love the guy!

Good score, @goatgurl! I'm looking for a small wood stove for my garden shed and sauna. A double furnace pipe should work just fine through a window. The important things are insulating materials behind and under the stove. I can't imagine having such a treasure and never using it. Enjoy!

Happy birthday, @CDODD726! Hope you have a great day.

@baymule, we have sold three houses on Land Contract to the great tenants that were living in them. One Quick Claim Deeded the property back to us when he got in legal trouble and left us with repair headaches far above what we'd have had without selling it. One skipped nearly a year of payments...

I collect the rents here at home. I also store the paint and cleaning supplies for new tenant readiness (always my job). Manage getting son and DH to do repair work as promised in a timely manner. I'm ready to sell out and just enjoy working on my own home anytime soon. It seems we have spent...

One wrong word, sometimes one wrong letter. . . and history as we know it is forever changed!

I like your thinking, @baymule. Hoop housing is an excellent temporary way to provide shelter as well as a longer growing season if @Steffenkbh hopes for veggies to go along with his meat.

Sending you a big Wisconsin HOW-DEE! I hope you will quickly become comfortable here and that you will enjoy this group as you journey toward self-sufficiency.

We have members enjoying their birthday today. :thumbsup @Tuco, happy birthday! :celebrate:celebrate:celebrateI appreciate how well you have settled in and become an active participant on SS. :loveI hope today is a special one filled with friends, family, fun and good memories. :love...
