    Organizing and decluttering the homestead

    After.... ...that space before... After..... ...that space before.... Tarp storage out of a scrap of cattle panel. The yellow tags are cattle tags zip tied to a grommet, showing the size of each tarp. Was tired of guessing the size, only to find out I had picked the wrong one for...

    Organizing and decluttering the homestead

    Pics of before on this back of the shed project....a whole lot of mess. That old cabinet didn't have much in it but misc. hardware, some old plumbing stuff, odds and ends of misc. junk. Big, inefficient use of space and a good place for mice and bees to nest. Had to pry it off that wall...

    Lazy Gardener's Little Town Farm

    I think they will remember that time for a long time to come! So many new and different things to do that one can usually only find at Grandma's house nowadays.

    Organizing and decluttering the homestead

    I'm the opposite...I'm not a slob but still struggle to stay organized! I'm what folks call ADD, so if I don't stay organized in a lot of areas of my life, then I find myself lost as to where I last put something. Even WITH organization, I struggle with where I last put something! :D My...

    Organizing and decluttering the homestead

    Got T post storage complete, which also created a space to store smaller flat items in behind it, such as pieces of cattle panel, plastic trellis, rolls of plastic mesh, etc. The T post storage worked so well! It also holds my tamping bars, post hole diggers and metal track/strips I'll be...

    Organizing and decluttering the homestead

    I'm on the home stretch now!!!! :weee :celebrate Just need to label my short board storage according to size, then start putting lumber where it belongs. These racks are incredibly pieced together out of odd pieces of old plywood or boards, so nothing is square or fitting perfectly but it's...

    Organizing and decluttering the homestead

    LG, you sound a lot like me....I'm the ideas guy/gal, then Eli tells me why my idea can't work the way I want it to, then suggests a way it WILL work. Then, my go to is reclaimed materials, which makes the build ten times harder, so Eli has to use inventive ways to make all the scraps coincide...

    Organizing and decluttering the homestead

    Prayed about how to design this rack so I could sort my small pieces into different stacks and God answered my prayers via Eli. Had him look at my build and was telling him I still wasn't sure how I could sort the small pieces and keep them well contained...and he came up with part of an idea...

    Organizing and decluttering the homestead

    Still working on my scrap lumber rack, comprised of scrap lumber, and it's taking longer than I had expected due to using....scrap lumber. :D It will look like a hobbled up mess but it will be sturdy and level and, I hope, perform the necessary function. I put up a size ruler on the front...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    That's how I have always felt as well. I don't do bumper stickers or window decals, nor jewelry that is considered "Christian". If a person can't tell by my life that I'm a child of God, then those other things will just be a mockery of His name.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    I looked into the apparel of one of those businesses, LG....did you? One going out of business showed models in extremely short cut off jean shorts and the shirts, with "Christian" logos and sayings on the front, were VERY low cut, very immodest in all ways. Many of the shirts were...

    Organizing and decluttering the homestead

    Got the large cabinet that had been on the back of the shed burned today, along with some very long wagon sides that were just ancient and rotting. Got all the items out of the cabinet sorted, labeled, eliminated, etc. Ever more hardware....but all is now sorted into labeled bins and neatly in...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    As do I....it's a joy to me that I don't have to get involved in the affairs of this world, but need only have the full armor of God on for the spiritual battles that God assigns to me. "No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who...

    Organizing and decluttering the homestead

    And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. 1 Thess: 4:12,13 God likes things done decently and in order~" Let all things be done...

    Organizing and decluttering the homestead

    That's exactly what I say too.....how did it GET this bad???? Seems like I'm busy all year long but behind me is a trail of devastation that then needs to be cleaned up and organized once again. Either where I put something now looks horrible or it doesn't function as well for our needs as I...

    Organizing and decluttering the homestead

    Emptied and tore down the large cabinets my Dad put on the back of the shed nigh 25 yrs ago....they are HEAVY! Kind of a sadness doing that...seems like we've been tearing down a lot of Dad's old construction these past few years and I can see Dad in every one of them~porches, steps, outhouse...

    I got a Family Grain Mill!

    I don't know if the grain I was blessed/gifted with was heat treated prior to storage in those tins, but not a bug one in it, even after breaking the glue type seal and using on them. Imagine that....stored in the 70s for the year 2000(remember when everyone thought the grid would go down in...
