RE: What have done towards your prep? - Straight Shooter - 10 February 2017
Bugger ! i was putting my plan together ....along with special incredible discounts for forum members on all the veg i will producing in the poly tunnel and greenhouse.....looks like i will have to take that deal offered me by Asda's ....been trying to snow a bit here today MB but turned to nothing, off up to pallet yard tomorrow ...just had the call, there is plenty about for us ......so we have to go....although we have a good stock of firewood ....those spacer blocks off the pallets last ages and give some good heat......and are nice and dry , my 14" chop saw makes quick work of the processing...going to need it looking at the forecast today temp dropping like a stone.....made a new steel cutting horse from steel i had kicking about ready for logging up which reminds me .....i need a box of electrodes for my arc set ....i have serviced the spliter ready .....when i built the wood shed (last year ) i can now chainsaw and split under cover.
RE: What have done towards your prep? - Straight Shooter - 18 February 2017
I finally cleaned out my workshop today and blew the dust out with the air line , bagged up stuff i doubt i will use ( famous last words) but i have to create some space for food prepps , and move it up from the lower shed .
Sown some stuff in the greenhouse and getting ready BIG TIME for the growing season , moving some IBC's up to have a gravity fed watering system should get that done next week ....but we need to drop about 8 cubes of concrete to finish off the parking and turning circle (coming on Tuesday) so laying steel mesh Monday ready for the pour ...that is about the last major bit to finish off the front elevation.
Its on with the logging next ...splitting and stacking......and then more trees to fell and it all starts again......we ...SIL and yours truly have decided we need to be two years in front ...more even ....its a fair old task but we will get it done, been a bit tied this past week not achieved that much really but chugging along slow..... but chugging along ...filled some containers earlier sow some more stuff tomorrow.

SS, I'm still doing all my stuff but at the moment it is mainly sorting and moving around to get more space. Nothing really worth writing about.
RE: What have done towards your prep? - CharlesHarris - 3 March 2017
Many of us prefer not to discuss our preps or plans on an open forum due to OPSEC.
RE: What have done towards your prep? - Mortblanc - 3 March 2017
No worry CH, you are the only person in West Virginia that has a computer to find out what you have and where it is!
RE: What have done towards your prep? - CharlesHarris - 3 March 2017
I only wish that were true...
RE: What have done towards your prep? - Ravenwing - 3 March 2017
Started the steep learning curve over the past couple of weeks. Thanks to all involved in the forum, learning loads and having my preconceptions challenged every turn. Glad to be a part of it. RW
RE: What have done towards your prep? - Straight Shooter - 3 March 2017
That's fair enough Charles .....if ever TPTB come a calling i will tell them i know nothing.....but i might mention you might know something and throw you under the bus....hold up ! for the benefit of all CH fans this is a joke ! .
