The culvert is made to have a constant water flow. 12 gauge happens to be quite a bit cheaper than 10 gauge. Though a bitumen coating over the galvanized is available I don't think it is necessary for this application. I am not sure what the bitumen coating would do to address condensation if anything. A customer has a spray foam business so a consideration for condensation. My steel guy will be coming back next Wed. with a final quote.

Found this burl while walking dogs, probably end up as garden art.

After roofing the Costco shed nearly identical will be about 2k

I have been beating my head over building a storage shed for the wife's lawn tractor. Had a wooden one delivered by Costo but as things go it is now storing other implements. Today I decided I'll order a 10ft culvert 10 ft long. The culvert bolts together so that would give me two 10 x 10 sections allowing me to construct 10x20 ft Quonset hut, which is acceptable to build without a permit. 4 ft pony walls to give added head room. Might be a great tiny house start.

My new plant this year prairie turnip something I was aware of that grew in Wyoming when I was growing up but never tried. Located a source from a grassland restoration group. I'm hoping my high desert will be a good fit. Anyone growing them?

Connie, If you don't mind handling them a regular cow skull can bring in a 100.00 bill. Look on Etsy. A friend burns lasers designs on them and sells them for as much as 500.00 depending on design complexity.

I'm shooting for a higher ABV than Skeeter Pee. that's why I am using one of the ninja yeasts.  Something between my homemade limoncello and the Skeeter Pee.

A long time ago in when I was too young to purchase alcohol a gallon jug, balloon, Welches grape juice and a bit of yeast would be bubbling hidden in my closet for weekend wine. Now that I am older I am trying my first hard lemonade with some of the super ninja turbo yeasts that can bring up the ABV.  Fingers crossed for a good summertime lemonade. Monday is my estimated test date.

Right now I am using instapot yogurt to make labneh. I get it pretty dry and make golf ball sized servings. Roll them in a spice blend and store them in a jar with olive oil.  One ball is the perfect size for smearing on a bagel, English muffin or in a pita to make a sandwich. So far just a savory coating but I imagine you could use something sweet for the coating and make say an apple sandwich.
