And the sealed bags are almost rock hard

I thought I would post a picture of how small I was able to get one ounce of hops. The bags were made by cutting food saver bags on every other line and then cutting down the center. I have 8 inch bags With marks every 3 inches. I end up with a bag that is 4×6. Ends up looking like this...

If you want to compress your hops more like mine are... I stuffed the each bag with 1 ounce of hops and worked it down to the base until it was as small as I could get it. I then pinched the opening together and rolled the base back and forth while pressing down on the top again until I could...

No flames from me, I understand the "put food an the table" aspect. I've worked for myself all my life until a few.... damn it's been 5 years already... anyway. The wife doesn't let me work now but the point is in all the businesses I've owned my mark-up was nowhere near 10% more like...

It is a rather nice problem to have after feeling crowded every place I've ever lived in my life. Pretty much the only reason we decided not to sell the home and buy a smaller place. We don't want to have to feel that way again and with the spare bedrooms we can have family/friends stay with us...

Ugh! I could not handle it if my MIL moved in. Non stop talking and must be the center of attention at all times. Thank goodness that she has moved other relatives in with her and won't need a place to live.

I have a great store right up the street, I buy what ever I can from him. It is a really small shop and stacked floor to ceiling windows most everything I need. I did buy hops from Hops direct this spring and started growing my own. But other than that I have bought almost every ingredient from...

Second that.here was my first harvest, first year, individually picked without cutting down, picked about a third because they are not all ripe as is usually the case. My 2 fan window fan had them dry in 24 hours although I should have turned the chairs so I could use the rungs that were 6...

That and we have our second grandchild on the way and since they live 1200 miles away we probably should fix it up for a child to stay in during vacations. I thought about making a walk-in closet for the wife but we have another spare room closer to ours that I will probably do that to

Love it! Don't know how to play though. The owner of an art gallery I go and hang out at has been wanting to teach me but I haven't had any time to sit with him. We have a better space in the process of being designed and built for games near the bar and wine cellar I just have to find the time...

There .... The space is no longer useless!

I think I finally figure out what to do with one of our spare rooms now that all the kids have all finally moved out. It is freshly refinished and seems like wasted space so I might as well put it to use for now. I still have a few details to finish up but that won't happen until it gets cold...

GFRC Is glass fiber reinforced concrete. Won't shatter even if dropped although it may chip if you do that. Just have to make sure if you have one made that they don't add any chemicals to the mix to speed hardening. Some of them are pretty toxic.

I had the same problem with the gfrc one my kid made me... after the third time using it I decided to just leave in the grill for a couple of hours at about 400. That took care of the problem. I let it cool overnight and then seasoned it again.

Has anyone used a granite pizza stone? Just curious as to how well they perform. I can usually get pieces of granite for just a few bucks a square foot and I have the tools to cut it. How thick it it?

I was given a pampered chef pizza stone about 7 or 8 years ago and my youngest son also made me a square one from gfrc. I use both on the grill and the pampered chef one in the oven. We leave that one in the oven all the time. I also toast garlic bread on it , bake focaccia bread and various...

Plastics are great for a while and i did replace a section of drip edge with one made of pvc I have also seen what happens when the house next door burns or when hail shatters it and when it gets so cold outside you would think hell froze over and it gets hit solidly by something hard. But I...

True.... very pricy but on the flipside you have plenty of backup power if your electricity goes out all you need is an inverter. Been there with the golf carts. After a storm cut the power and as everyone else was leaving the island we were able to continue having our party with enough power to...

Did you ever come up with something? I have been eying the electric riding from Ryobi.... well now they have 2 this year. I have been using Ryobi tools since they came out with their first 18v kit in 99 and have been very happy with them. The riding mower with the steering wheel has a...

I have second the clothes line. No threads but looks like concrete on the pipe and it is cheap pipe not the kind you would use for anything important like a tank. And definatly not radon it is uncovered and filled with water.
