Go to Walmart and buy Goo Gone. It will get the glue from the contact paper off your counter.

I haven't pulled the paper off it's peeling in pieces on its own. We're just goin to suck it up and get new counters. My preference is butcher block counters but I'm pretty sure my DH wants the Formica stuff yuk

Best thing I've found for getting glue off of stuff is vegetable shortening. Put a heavy coating on, then let it sit for about 10 minutes.

We are going to erect a greenhouse. We bought a Sunshine Gardenhouse 8 x 16 Mt Rainier last year, but ran out of time to get it set up. So, we'll start working on it soon.

Guess I'm going to try to be a raiser of pigs! Yay pigsters!

I would love to get a few pigs that I could have slaughtered at the end of the season for fresh pork, but I think that is a year or two down the line. Right now, I buy grass fed pork from a local farm. Best pork I ever had! I could never go back to buying store bought again.

And, I'd love to have a green/screenhouse. Don't really need a green house where I'm at - but a screen house to keep the stinkin' stinkbugs offa my tomatoes would be awesome. I need to get started on that project real soon.
I can't wait to taste some home grown mostly grass fed pork. I'm giving them a little grain while they're young and growing, but as soon as they go out to pasture I hope they can maintain good condition on grass.

What breed of pigs are you raising? How many?

Sounds like a good plan. I have looked at this breed, along with Kunekunes, but I have time to make up my mind.

I am currently doing everything on the list and have for many, many years, though I no longer do the "generate an income" thingy from any of my projects...used to, though.
Sort of new but I've had them before, but hope to get into bees and rabbits again this year if the Lord wills it. I'm praying about it and asking Him to provide the resources if He wants me to pursue that. If I do bees it will be in a long box top bar hybrid hive of my own making and I'll be tractoring the rabbits but will not be feeding traditional pelleted rabbit feed. Hoping to can some of the offspring but feed most to the dogs as part of a healthier diet.
Also going to plan for and plant for a four season harvest this coming garden season...that's something I've never really done but am going to try.
Also going to dehydrate more veggies this year, especially onions, garlic and maters. Will likely do in large volume in a home made solar dehydrator.
Trying a little adjustment to my breeding pen nests this year, going back to all natural nesting sites and pushing the broody threshold to see if I can get my breeders to just mate, lay a clutch and brood like they would in a natural setting. Should be interesting.
