They all look so big and beautiful with their extra feathers. I THINK they grow some extra feathers to keep themselves warmer. I do keep...

    what jobs work around kids' school hours?

    One thing I have thought about is working at a ski hill. I think the "kids" that work there would work AFTER school, and you could work during the school hours. Summer, obvioulsy the hill would be closed. The only snag would be the weekends. But maybe the kids could go with Dad on the weekends...

    Indoor Clothes Dryers

    That is a huge savings every month then! I line dry clothes in the summer, but never really in the winter. My present goal is not to use the dryer for the month of Jan. I got some of the Zote soap (found it in Ill. by my inlaws) and made some homemade powdered detergent. I also read that you...

    Indoor Clothes Dryers

    I was thinking that too. Maybe on the middle piece, you could hang a round thingy with the clothespins on to hang socks and stuff! It wouldnt be the prettiest thing, but it would get the job done! I wonder how much it costs to dry a load of clothes with an electric dryer :idunno Maybe a...

    It's crazy the money they want for that thing! I have a vision in my head on how to make one. The end pieces are wood, but it should work the same. Just not look as purty!!:D

    Tortoise - meat strecher ideas! Please share more :-)

    Tortoise- I use TVP (textured vegetable protien) to stretch ground beef. I think it is dried soybean meal or something. You just reconstitute it with water (a put a little beef bullion in mine) and add it to the ground beef you are frying. I use about a 50-50 mixture of ground beef to TVP...

    What breed of goats are these?

    No stalls, but I could rig some up. Honestly, there is not much in there. Then again, I dont know how destructive goats can be. I always feel slightly bad for those of you that crave barn space...and I have a barn with a loft that is mostly empty.
