RE: Project Updates: November 21, 2021

First, I love campfires!!! Where is my invite? haha jk

Secondly, We installed (by we I mean a roofing company) a new metal roof last year this time. I wish I had the know how to have done it myself but these are skills I am learning one small project at a time. It was work the insane investment though. Sadly it was all out of pocket because the insurance covered several roof damage repairs and with these winds out here the shingles kept flying off so they said NO MORE FUNDS for any repairs or new roofs. I will say I have never had so much peace of mind during high winds and heavy rains.

Furthermore, I have been looking at fireplace or wood stove installation recently myself. Please let me know if you need any assistance or a spectator to help hold stuff if you don't mind me in the way. I have decided this is the year I am really going in on the homestead and learning things I've been wanting to learn. I have a nice tool collection started to get started on these projects I am finally getting to around here.

I have a set date for some Kune Kune and Mini Cattle to the farm! Only thing stopping me is getting in my own way.

I'm going to have to look into those wicking tubs because I grow lots of things in those used tubs just one way or another they dry out in the summer months unless I dedicate my life to watering or set up drip irrigation. Which is also a project this fall/winter to have ready and in place for spring. So many projects, so much brain overload.

Oh my gosh, IDK how I missed this comment a couple months back!

It's deep winter now and I've got no wood stove or roof to be seen 🤣 go figure!

How's the pigs and cattle project going? I'll tell you what, I don't think there's anything more rewarding to have on the homestead than pigs. Tony's seed and feed in Muenster is where I was buying feed, give em a call at 940-759-2241 and see about the Ratliff Hog ration. It's soy free non-gmo and sold by the half ton. I think it was something like $250 a half ton when I got it. Really inexpensive for soy free non GMO feed.
