This is a great idea! Some of the description throws me off a bit, but I am not a dummy so I should be able to piece it together when I see all the parts in one place. The hard part will be getting the tank hauled up and installed on top of my barn without falling off and killing myself. It is a...

Sounds like a nice setup. You have a lot of hands to make it work. My grandfather was from Kentucky and I have always loved going there. I nearly moved there some time back. I sure wish I had done it. Good luck to you all.

Dogs barking all night bother me too. But I can't help thinking, about a situation where a cop might really be needed somewhere for some life or death kind of situation, but they are busy handling a B.S dog complaint. I can hear it now: "Sorry lady, your husband is dead. But you will be happy...

I will be working, but I will also be remembering some friends that didn't get to come home.

Good to see you here. I have been reading some of your other posts and have already started looking at solar panels and batteries. Thanks for the heads up on the sunsaver controllers. They are the most reasonable priced that I have run across. I have a 30x60 barn and the roof has an unrestricted...

Last year I bought five acres where I intend to move and try to be as self sustaining as possible. When I bought the land, it still had an agriculture tax exemption. I had to redo all the paperwork this year to keep it in effect. I told them what I planned to do with the land and they seemed...

:lau :gig The same thing popped into my mind.

Like lwheelr said, be careful. I just read an article that talked about some folks getting a $90,000 fine for selling too many live rabbits. I think the limit was $500.00 a year or something like that. They also could be fined another $3,000,000 in penalties and other government B.S. Big...

Bribing children just teaches them that if they hold out long enough, they will be rewarded for not doing what they should do. Of course, it is much easier to bribe them than it is to teach them.

I have been using one variation or another of square foot gardening for about 20 years. It is a great way to increase yield and cut down on back breaking weeding and tilling. The book is a good starting point, but everyone has a different situation and these raised beds are adaptable to whatever...

I am sure you can find this elsewhere, but this is about the best price I have found. http://www.cleanairgardening.com/portable-washing-machine.html

You have a great thing going there. A lot of work, but it is a labor of love. The love of freedom.

Propane, like gasoline is measured and sold in gallons. Methane is more like natural gas like you use in your home. This still leaves the question of how many cubic feet or cubic meters of methane equals a gallon of gas or propane? Otherwise you are trying to figure how many apples it takes to...

That is so cool.

My landlord has one of these that he was wanting to sell. I sure wish I could afford it.

I found some pretty nice PVC projects that could be adapted and re-sized to fit just about any situation. This one is unfinished, but gives you an idea how to do it. There are several more on this page.

I had three 25 x 8 foot hoop greenhouses set up at one time. I used 20' lengths of one inch PVC for the frame.I made wooden frames with doors for the ends to stabilize them and used T fittings to install braces in the middle part. I paid about $300 for a 100 x 24 foot role of 3 year greenhouse...

These guys are ready for the solar flares. ARE YOU??? Get yours today at: www.stupidglassesrus.gov A division of the U.S. department of redundancy department of the United States.

Pretty much so. A friend asked me one time what was my favorite vegetable and I told her macaroni and cheese. I explained, when you go to the all you can eat buffet where do you find the macaroni and cheese? Right next to the peas and carrots and other veggies. So it has to be a vegetable.

I thought sugar was one of the basic food groups. You know: Meat Potatoes Salt Grease Sugar Alcohol Tobacco Well, maybe not the last one.
