RE: All fires are ignited differently.
Gas is always a problem! It looks pretty bad.... Was your house damaged? Was anyone hurt next door? Will he be able to recover? Fire always does damage when it gets loose! πππππ΅π₯΄π‘

RE: GOD is an impressive artist, and he works best in stone, IMHO!
I have spent years designing new systems that are complex by today's standards, but they are tinker toys compared to the human body! I did design in some failure detection, but not internal repair systems.

True biochar is along the addition to the garden quality! They say that aquaponics can Not be combined with bio char. But I have figured out how to do it anyway. Life stays interesting! I'm adding a satellite

I am planning on biochar! It solves a lot of problems, and gives long term gains. I plan to use aquaponics in a wallipini greenhouse (partly buried); to give me year round production. I think I've figured

There are a lot of liars on eBay! That's why I put in my own optics lab, so I could verify the stones were accurate. If you don't buy from china, you have a better chance of getting good gemstones. More

I'm working on being a farmer, ROFLOL! The homestead is so wooded, that I will have to cut trees to get enough sun for my solar system, and a garden. I hate to, but I will mill the trees for lumber; so

RE: A DIY repair on a brick sidewalk.
Sorry, this RV is at the homestead; and I wish the swing was something I could send! The RV is 27 foot long, so it is large for an RV. It will sleep 3. Sadly, I have 2 swing sets that I wish were there!

It's a large house, but it had a water leak that damaged a lot of stuff. Major repairs, but coming along well. ππ€ πππ€π₯΄

No, my daughter and son in law own this house. It needed a lot of repair, and I will post some on the other repairs soon. I am having trouble getting repair time on the homestead with so many emergencies!

Sadly not mine, this is as I'm leaving the homestead, across the street. It is about 150 yards to the treeline, and my property is higher. So at sundown, they get shaded; but during the day, it would make

Nice job! I have built tube type gear before, and you're doing a good job here it's good to see that you have studied old tech enough to modify it. I like the modern electrolytic caps, smart move; the

Emeralds are soft, and hard to work with. Look at Sapphires, they come in most colors, and are tough and hard! They can be cast into a setting by placing them in the delft clay, then pouring the metal

RE: The Greenhouse Patio, Part 3
Nothing wrong with a little railroad work! Better to use tools, instead of your back!!!! I bought to a Small John Deere Gator with a dump bed, and a small backhoe to save my back out on the homestead.

I have see as many as 5 deer in this same area. One local field had over 40 grazing on it. Lots of them live locally! Here's the container I set in out on the homestead for secure storage! I will need
