We get a head start on next year's growing season assembling our 30 by 60 foot Rimol Greenhouse. Our rocky soil leads us to trenching our ground posts, once level and plumb we complete the bow and truss assembly followed by purlins and wind bracing. After three days of hard work we cook up kickin' swiss chard and craft a few ferments with vegetables from the garden.

Not bad. I was quoted $70 for a new driver's side sun visor plus $166 labour (or was it $166 for the part and $70 for the labour??) But, in any event, I bought a visor off Amazon for $46 and installed it myself!! My husband was very impressed!

@bladedemissary Месяц назад

Thank you both for being so inspirational in how to work together. I've been watching and learning better communication techniques, and a show of support for each other which my husband and I have been integrating into our marriage. We've been together for 11 years and we always struggled with our communications and listening. An occasional "that's a good idea" or "that looks great" and having the patience to hear each other out and/or try something the way the other person wants to try it has truly been life changing for us. I just wanted you to know that watching isn't only entertainment and enjoying beautiful scenery of your home, but making a difference in relationships from your example too. From my heart to yours - sincerely - I thank you!

@SimpleLivingAlaska Месяц назад

Wow that is very meaningful to us, we have been together for about 17 years and also have struggles. I think relationships take constant desire to grow as a human and truly understanding ourselves so we can be a loving partner. Definitely easier said then done. Take care ❤ thank you for watching.

@kathyalexander6994 Месяц назад

One of the best tricks I have learned to stop frost damage is to spray all the plants before the sun sets with water and then again early in the morning. The water protects the plants and any frost damage is minimal, if any at all. It also saves the plants from damage caused by covering them

One day I'm going to be patient and go to bed instead of watching your videos, but today was not that day. I happened to see it 19 seconds(!) after you uploaded, so I really had no choice. The greenhouse is looking incredible - I have no concept of imperial units of measure, so 60 feet tells me nothing, but seeing those long lines of posts and how far apart they were really drove home how HUGE this thing is going to be. You're going to be able to have a garden only every two years with all the food you can grow there! Excited to see it all come together.

I spent 7 years as a heavy-duty welder fabricator. A dirty dangerous job. Four-year apprenticeship then 3 years with the same company. A man came into the company offering to undercut the current supplier of overalls. We were each individual measured for the new overalls. At my fitting, I looked at the material of the new overalls. Noticing they were a polyester mix material. The current supplier supplied pure cotton overalls. I turned to the salesperson stating these would not last as they would melt/burn with the sparks from grinding and welding. I also spoke to the works manager his reply was" to give them a chance". The new overalls were delivered and we started using them. And the overalls began to become very holly. One welder insisted on grinding with the sparks coming into his waist. He cut a pair of overalls in half on his front. About 2 weeks later the company requested to be released from their contract. Welding and grinding sparks are hot.
