To the person that approved my submission, thank you. Are the points you awarded for electrical or plumbing?

My dad wanted the fence around his yard to be removed except for two posts for his bluebird houses. The majority of the post and rails were not salvageable and used for firewood. The rest of the fence was stored for future use. I removed over 200 feet of fence from the brick smokehouse to the grapevines.

I got home from work and couldn’t open my back door. The latch was broken. Time for a new one.

Here’s my submission for making four different soups. I didn’t write down a recipe for any of them. I just throw stuff together and season to taste. All were cooked with a 6 quart pot to show they meet the 1/2 gallon requirement.

Yogurt recipe
Half a gallon of milk
Half a cup of live and active cultures yogurt
Heat the milk to 116° stir in the yogurt and put it in a hay box for 12 hours

Soft farmers cheese recipe
Half a gallon of milk
Quarter cup of vinegar
Some salt
Hit the milk till it starts to boil. turn off the heat. Slowly stir in the vinegar. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Strain through a cheese cloth. Mix in the salt or other flavors. Squeeze out the rest of the whey and put it on a plate. Add some weight on top and stick it in the fridge for an hour or more. Then remove the cheese cloth.
