Hi All, We have a 2 1/2 stall "shop". We started setting it up as a shop, but 2 years of illness, and a bad roof on another shed temporarily forced everything into the shop. Right now it's being used as storage for EVERYTHING (motorcycle, bikes, tools, lawnmowers, weedeaters, chain saws...

I've got to share!! I'm praising the Lord tonight for answered prayers, and for providing for us over and above anything I've expected or even asked for!!:weee:weee I've recently been thinking a lot about sewing as a side income. I've sewn simple things, and can follow a pattern. I have a...

Hi All,:frow I thought we should have a thread dedicated to all things blooming. This can be a place to showcase your yard or maybe to add pictures of something you want to identify. Which flowers grow naturally in your part of the world? Which ones are natural pollinators? Which ones attract...

Hi all, We recently started getting poor water pressure out of our kitchen faucets. The shower in the bathroom works fine but gets a LOT of sediment and I have to constantly clean out the shower head. And lately, the hot water heater has been shutting off. I'm thinking our water heater needs to...

Ps 68:19, "Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah." Last night we had company, a family friend that lives out of state that we don't get to see often. She was able to come just as my husband was getting home from work, and she stayed for...

Does anyone here have a loom for making ragrugs? I'm looking for a picture. I'm hoping to make some ragrugs this winter. If anyone has made ragrugs, I'd like to hear your experiences (yes, I can Google it, but I prefer talking to someone who has actually made them theirselves.)

I'll be going over to find my neighbor to find out, but was wondering if anyone can identify these plants. My neighbor sent them home with my son when he brought her some eggs. The second and fourth picture are of the same thing and it is as soft as velvet. The first one is clover (I think.)

I sew like I do most things, impulsively and without a real plan, certainly without a pattern. But these are super easy so I thought I'd share. There's a little girl in our church who just started school. She's 5, and tall for her age, but skinny. Her mom has had trouble finding dresses for her...

@sumi, I was thinking of you, as I cleaned all these neat little bottles. I was at a friend's house yesterday watering her plants, and took some little clippings to root at home. These bottles are perfect. :)

This recently came up on another thread. I searched, but couldn't find other threads on this. Thanks @Mini Horses for the suggestion, and my apologies if it's already a thread. Does anyone else use greywater? Is it legal in your state? I'd love to see pictures of your setup, and how you use...

Hi All, I've got an area over our septic that is really hard to mow because it is very rocky and uneven. My plan is to cut down these weeds, cover it all in a think layer of old hay, and seed pollinator flowers there. But before I cut them down, I thought I'd ask, are any of these weeds useful...

I thought it might be good to have a thread for this kind of question... My neighbor's have two full sized Ac house units they want gone. They just got new ones for their house. I dont believe the old ones work. So I'm hauling them to my house. I can always scrap them, but does anyone know what...

Hi all, I've been looking up threads on pemmican, but the ones I found were really old. My son plans on backpacking/hiking through Europe this summer and wants to make pemmican. Does anyone have any recipes, or tips? What are your favorite flavors to add? Favorite meats? Has anyone tried it with...

Hi all, I'm wondering how many here have a hydroponic setup for their garden, and if anyone else is set up for aquaponics. We're hoping to set up an aquaponics tank this spring to raise tilapia and to fertilize the garden. I think @WildWyandott110 mentioned it too? Anyone else tried raising...

Hi All, My husband's work (baseball style) caps are filthy and need to be cleaned, but I don't know if they are machine washable or what material the brim is made out of. The caps are black with red and white stitching. I'd really appreciate advice on cleaning them! Thanks!

We culled one of our hens today along with four young roosters. ALL five birds came from the same people, but we got the hen last summer, and the roosters last night. We switched to Fermented Feed and free ranging at the end of October, so the hen has had 3 months of FF and free ranging. In case...

This is from my sister's friend. They live near Portland, Oregon. If anyone knows of someone looking for a great dog, please let me know! Nika our Rottweiler needs to be rehomed. Every place we look at has breed or weight restrictions and we are down to a bare minimum with who is special needs...
