Biography
Hello there!
I've long felt the 'call to cultivate'. I found Paul and his stuff in 2017, and have been steadily watching and learning since.
I'm a Pod People, and have listened to all the numbered podcasts, up to #514.
I've visited Wheaton Labs several times now! Simply put, it's awesome.
I (still) feel pretty un-knowledgable about a lot (all?) of this stuff, but I'm really excited to learn, and learn, and learn.
That's part of why I am really into SkIP and PEP; because I can learn, and also because it is awesome.
My big-wild-crazy-scary-to-say-out-loud dream is to live in a town with no cars that can feed itself, even if I have to build it myself.

I checked many (I think all) of the buttons, all that I clicked took me where I expected them to.

The toggle "Automatically buy pie every month" is slightly confusing to me regarding the higher $$ amounts:

Would I be spending $65/month? (Or $600/month?), that's what it means to me on first read.

I can't tell if it's meant primarily for the $10 level, and that higher levels would replenish pie when user's pie runs out

Will do! Thanks, Mike

Cool, thanks, Mike!

I think a good way to approach events like this is to come in with a 'shopping list' of BB's I'd like to do, and stay flexible while I'm there for opportunities I might encounter.

For example; some BB's I'm looking to do:
- Greywater Sand: Hand-crafted instruction manual
- Greywater Sand: Hang 4 Coathooks, a two-fer with
- Roundwood Sand: Dry Peg Coathooks
- Roundwood Sand: Peel 6" log
- Tool Care Sand: Clean shop
- Tool Care Sand: Sharpen/Oil Shovel
Replacing the air filter. I have let this go far too long.

Pics needed:
- Before
- During
- After

Blue filter is the old one, red filter is the new one.

Yikes that dust.

I have a bifold door frame I'm repairing due to rot at the base of the frame.

Is it nest/straw/fix-baseboard-trim
( https://permies.com/wiki/157694/pep-nest/Fix-Basebaord-Trim-PEP-BB )?

Or does the door (and un- and re-hanging it) push the bb into oddball?

I'm cool either way, I just wanna put it in the right place (and not miss out on oddball points if I can get 'em).

I earned the Nest sand badge under the old system.

Now I'm working on Straw. May I re-do any of the BB's I've already done for Straw points? (Napkin, car, windows, are what I'm thinking).

Thanks!

My Question on the words for a hand-crafted willow feeder instruction page: https://permies.com/t/369108/pep-greywater-willow-feeders/words-Willow-Feeder-instructions-page#3746651

And my question for Commerce-sand Cottoge industry (https://permies.com/wiki/148877/pep-commerce/Start-Cottage-Industry-home-PEP): I'm renting out most of my house. Would that count for this BB?
