    Hello 👋 from western Tennessee, it’s funny that I hear you talking about using ash as an amendment for your pumpkin patch. I got half a barrel of stove ash and charcoal, I use an old whirlpool tub for my original compost bin and I put all of the ash in the tub. I composted some food scraps but not much and added a very small amount of dirt and now have a volunteer tomato as well as clover and one of the types of wild lettuce. Is it beneficial for growing things, absolutely

    Hello 👋 from western Tennessee. I want to express my gratitude to you folks for helping Nate and Katie. I remodeled a 1938 cottage in 1995, and it was a mess. New plumbing, wiring, drywall, chimney removal, and from the mud sill up four foot of the walls, 2/3 of the post and beams and floor joints. Much more was done, the point that I was getting to, is how much nicer the job would have been if I didn’t have to learn every step and do it myself. Thank you 🙏 for who you are. 40 Shades of Green Farm

    Hello Green Farm! That sounded like a challenging project. I couldn't even imagine doing it, if I had to do it without years of building experience. I don't think Nate&Katie's is quite that rough but it is going to be a bit of a challenge! I wanted to offer some help a few months back but was out of commission with a torn rotator. I know that living in a camper while building can get a bit uncomfortable after a while, to say the least! I am looking forward to seeing them get in the house and making the homesteading adventure a lot more comfortable and fun.

    AWESOME!!! If I tried to do something like that just the thinking part would give me a MASSIVE headache for a week. Then I'd call someone like you and pay you the money to do it right... At my age I try not to do things that I can hire a younger person with a family to feed to do the work... I worked for hire for more years than I ever planned on. So yes now I do just whatever I want to. WELL that's when the boss lady says I can... LOL... Bed blessed my friend in Jesus name... BBE..

    Hello Bobby! It was not to bad to figure out. I am at the age now, that I would rather take my time at the beginning and get any "corks" worked out before I get started. It's never any fun getting a few hours deep and having to start all over. You have me curios now, as to what you did for hire? And you just tell that "Boss Lady" to go make ya some supper:)... Just kidding!! You better not but if you do, make sure ya smile so you don't get a spatula or a shoe thrown your way. Have a Blessed evening and thank you for the comment! Jim
