So excited! I am finally getting permits and closing on the loan on this project THIS WEEK! We've already set forms for pouring concrete so we are rolling!

Okay, looked this up on the internet and now it is saying I screwed up when I placed the saucepan in cold water to cool down faster. Also said I should have cooled it down ( without touching it) to 110 degrees Fahrenheit.

Trying to learn how to make maple sugar candy today from watching youtubers... Just ruined 2 cups of maple syrup and one saucepan. It turned into hard candy at the temperature I was supposed to start stirring. The instruction said boil to 242 Fahrenheit and let cool to 200 Fahrenheit then stir and pour into the candy molds. That didn't work. I am trying to make the sugary melt in your mouth style candy, not hard candy.

Bravo to your post. Finally I am in good company. My current build, despite many stumbling blocks, will include a vermicomposting outdoor loo.
No. One. Understands.

Idea for you: garden markers to mark peas, beans, etc

Welcome Olivia! What part of the world are you from, if you don't mind me asking.

My entire messy garden makes me smile. Right now my comfrey and marshmallow have towered over all other plants and it is time to start trimming the garden back into submission. I have grape vines that have climbed 8 ft to the top of the arbor. I just plucked a kohlrabi out of the garden and fried it up in olive oil. The potato plants are doing great despite many deer attempts. I have occasional trees in the garden, and this year we have a dozen apples headed into the final month or two before harvest. The trees are 3-4 years old. Lots of yellow native flowers of varying heights and brilliant orange butterfly weed are a highlight here. Each day I pluck a leave from a comfrey plant and feed it to one chicken who runs to the fence to get her treat.

I am building a monitor barn in Wisconsin (as a house) and it includes a greenhouse all along one side. A monitor barn has a two story middle with a single story wing off each side. My worry - when snow slides off the middle section, how can I keep it from breaking through my greenhouse roof below?  I was thinking of using double-wall poly as the roof material. This is a wood framed building. Any ideas?

One thing that happens when you exercise is that all the toxins in your tissues that were stagnantly living in you, were stirred up to be released through your sweat or others means. Once you exercise regularly, this happens less and less as your body will expel all the stagnant yuck.
This also happens when you get a massage sometimes.

The brain fog comes from toxins released into your system.
