Hi - I know it's bad form to link to yer own articles, so I won't do so, just to say that I just submitted a little something to this homesteading challenge no.4 - it'll be in my last blog post until Monday, so please do check it out, great competition btw, just followed you and upvoted this.
I'm aware it may not fit, maybe a bit to quirky, but I enjoyed writing it anyways.
Karl.
