👍🏼. Description seems  pretty clear.

For much of my cleaning, I just use baking soda. Works well, but sometimes requires more effort and time than using soap.

Started by not being logged in (using Safari on old MacBook)
Followed link to log in (which opened new tab)
Returned to open tab with link to get F-code.
Requested F-code on the left
without a problem. F-code 799.

It worked!  Easy peasy.

I’m using clumping litter. And sometimes topping it off with one of our many sizable rocks.  (Zero waste, lol)

I had heard male pee is a more effective rodent deterrent than female pee. Glad it’s working for you!

Here in Idaho hills we have rockchucks (marmots) that make quarter mile tunnels.  I’ve have tried pouring cat litter box dreck in their holes with good results. The power of pee!

Welcome Blake!  Berries are such a rich food source for immunity (and my chickens favorite food). I’m hoping to incorporate more diverse plantings for me, and friends and neighbors. A berry bush or tree just might be my go-to gift for birthdays, welcoming a new neighbor, or just an excuse to throw a party and give as a favor!  Thanks for being here.

Rocket engine or not, a wood-fired kiln.
Maybe it could be both a traditional wood-fired pottery kiln, with  a rocket-fired option. Ceramics opens up lots of options, even for things Paul has listed above... flow forms, tiles (floor or roof), bricks... Can glass bottles be pulverized and turned into glazes?

Yes especially on brick and tile making.

Build a below grade walk-in ice box cooler that can store ice and snow input from winter, maybe in 2’’ wide ‘ice walls’ that contain the ice. See how long it keeps cool through summer.

A buddy is buying 40 acres in Sweet, Idaho 50 miles north of Boise. Currently it’s horse and cattle grazing, wheel line irrigated off a main irrigation ditch. Plans to put in a tiny home and deck for a porch. Looking for someone to live on the land and develop the land into an example of permaculture living.  The local community, and over the hill in the Boise valley, is ripe for moving toward sustainable living - so this would be a great opportunity for raising and selling crops, animals and meat, and contracting to build rocket heaters, solar dehydrators, etc., and consult on other properties. Landowner is flexible on implementation and partnership arrangements (business partners, share cropping, etc.). This would be really cool. Winters are fairly mild; brand new Restaurant and butcher shop just opened within walking distance (in the middle of 30 acres) that will be hosting a farmers market.

I would like to be a spiffy link recipient, please.
