    Ogre, I still like the idea of the usage of space...there are lightweight growing mediums I believe....

    Study that picture a while, figure out how much , dimensions and materials you need and what color paint suits you, and make your own for about 20 % or less if you use recycled materials. ( of that outrageously priced coop. )

     

    do you want me to see if I can copy and upload the pics of it for you to look at here? because you cant view them?

     

    I don't have the skilset to build something like that unfortunately, arby. Or know anyone for that matter.. And thanks on the picture offer. I can see them, I just wanted to see if they could be put into the post so others could.

    Did I miss something?

    I just downloaded TMC's book 'Bystander'! I didn't know that it was available for Kindle. I'm into 'Dark Grid' right now, but I bet I can finish it fast! Congrats Carolyn. We are very proud of you!!! :bouquet:

     

     

    Where did you see it on Kindle? I only see the hard copy on Amazon.

    Does any of this work on rats? Those big, ugly, nasty Norwegian roof rats that are all over the city I live in. About a week and a half ago our internet went out and after a lot of fussing with AT&T...it was discovered that the wires in the walls had been chewed. Took 4 days to get it fixed. I hate rats.

    We've battled these suckers for 2 years since we moved into this house. Fortunately they are in the garage mostly but sometimes I hear them scratching in the crawspace in the roof. I think the former residents just didn't care because the garage was loaded with rat poopies when we moved in. We thought we had done a pretty good job of keeping the population down with traps and our cats...but 2 years later...the cats are now 14 and 17 and missing a lot of teeth and the rats seem to be too smart for the traps (can they figure it out after a while?)

    Everything seems just unsanitary in the garage because I just know they've probably walked over it and we've discovered they've chewed through some stuff that was stored.

    I hate rats. Did I already say that? Well...let me say it again. I really hate rats.

    The shortening doesn't last as long and should be rotated every yr or two if at all possible unless stored in a freezer. If kept frozen it can be kept a good 10 yrs or so. If it accidentally gets thawed it can be refrozen with no problem.

     

    I had no idea you could freeze shortening to extend it's life. I had stopped buying it because we weren't using it up fast enough.

    Rats! I saw this and thought CookieJar was back.

    I know. I miss her, too. Anyone know if she's OK? :sad-smiley-012:

     

     

     

    I miss her too. It's been about a year or so since we last talked. Everyday life was just taking over...but, she was doing ok.
