I just got done hanging a clothesline in the furnace room to help on saving electric, and started a wooden hanging drying rack too. That scrounge job on all these big dowels last year is coming in handy. Plus I just respnded to an ad on freecycle for 2 rooms of Pergo laminate flooring, hopefully it pans out and gives me something to do next week. 1-10x20 cherry and 1-10x20 walnut...hell ya I'll take it for free! Looks like Lisa may finally get a floor in her sewing room!Chris Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316348514638693721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246519671003642380.post-41511216688486565562009-02-20T13:45:00.000-05:002009-02-20T13:45:00.000-05:00Grfeat score there Chris!

From what I understand, she rescues and rehabs wild animals (injured maybe) but has taken in small farm animals as well. I'm actually kind of excited to meet her tomorrow and see her place and what she does. Who knows what she may get in the future that me might need...want...ok, have no real use for,lol.<BR/><BR/> I've never heard that one about the newspaper, I just might have to try that one! <BR/> Farmergeek, remember the place I told you to stop for cheese? These buckets came from them. That deli/shop by moms belongs to the same people. Maybe you can check for a deli out your way, but when I get another 10 or so, I'll get some out to ya. <BR/> Yea, this layoff has me a bit down, but I'm trying to not let it really get to me. I'm calling that guy with the farm again today and see whats happening there. Lisa took some eggs into work to sell today now that they're all hooked, lol. As I said, as long as we can sell enough to cover feed, it's fine by me. If the side jobs start to pay enough, I'll be getting the big monster diesel from my uncle to drive around again. But since diesel is still high, and that thing only gets 14mpg on its best day, it will be sitting here unless I am working somewhere. Only time will tell....Chris Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316348514638693721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246519671003642380.post-12115218181859351342009-02-20T08:20:00.000-05:002009-02-20T08:20:00.000-05:00Don't know if this works but I've read putting 3-4...Don't know if this works but I've read putting 3-4 sheets of crumpled up newspaper in the bucket with the lid on will absorb any odd odors. Might be worth a try.

You scored pretty good with the chickens and the buckets. You'll weather the storm better than most because you were more than anyone else, prepared! I'm proud of you and Lisa!Leasmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06527345508772411407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246519671003642380.post-89503746483503543422009-02-20T07:32:00.000-05:002009-02-20T07:32:00.000-05:00Woo, congrats!

I thought those places only let them go as pets....Of course, roosters don't make good pets. :)ChristyACBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18396628757148282551noreply@blogger.com
