Here is the house we are working on. Son is trying to match this new roof to the old photo (historical records) of this house. Here's how far we've gotten: And then again today: Here's the original photo:

My idea of fun is building houses with Habitat for Humanity -- especially the all women builds. Right now spouse and I are helping son rehab his 1832-ish Victorian. We just finished decking the new front porch. Tomorrow we do the steps and start the porch roofing. I'll have to get photos...

Herd is acceptable. So is warren, colony, or nest. Welcome back! Glad you found your way 'home' again.

There are a lot of passive solar options you can add to your building plans that will help keep that meter from spinning quite as much. A heat source that doesn't require electricity to work is always a good idea. Even better if you can cook that way in an emergency.

I had a co-worker with the same problem. She went to the doctor for help and came back to tell us that she, according to the doctor, had sperm on her heels. We all wondered how that happened. I am glad that you found a solution. For me, the podiatrist made a set of inserts that have solved the...

Floating row covers do a good job, but you must pollinate the flowers by hand if you keep the insects -- good and bad -- out of the plants.

Welcome, Johnny! Glad to have you with us. Tell us a bit about where you are and where your remodeling interests lay.

Cute piglet! I may need a few rastas to stop by here soon. I am in a property dispute with the neighbors. If I lose, I plan to start raising pigs (with roosters overhead) up-wind and next to their back door. They are claiming 15 feet of our land because they misunderstood the boundary lines 16...

Welcome, @goatgurl! You sound like someone who can add a lot to our group. Glad to have you.

I'm no stool pigeon! I'll never tell where I hid my eggs.

I have a few here in south-est, central-est Wisconsin but suspect shipping them would be more expensive than you'd want. Mine are from a Robin Hood hedge rose and are delicious as well as rather large. No chemicals -- ever -- and these have over 20 years on the property.

My first thought was to sand the area and feather the outside edges, then re-stain. If it is recent work, the new stain should match the other just fine.

Welcome to SS! It is always great to meet new friends. I hope @TheWebbs will enjoy this site and stop by often.

Welcome, @bessfisher! Why does it seem that the busiest folks always seem to have time for more? It sounds like you have a very busy life. Glad you're here to learn and share together.

Ditto on the welcome!

:lol: Thank you! :lol: I believe that was the idea. That's why I never read and drink at the computer. I'm a drink spitter when I see something funny.

Hurry up, already! Let the new rooster out of the truck so we can see him!

Welcome, @TwoCrows! Happy to have you working toward self-sufficiency with us.

Saturday was sleep over day. We had waffles slathered in homegrown strawberries. Then 11 year old granddaughter and I went picking black raspberries in the woods. She then cooked and processed 7 cans of black raspberry jelly. I should hear how the jelly turned out soon. One can didn't seal so...
