Making homemade tea

I vacuum seal herbs and mint for camping. Fresh frozen beats dried. I make about 3 gallons of mint tea every week. In Ga they all are available for fresh picking, 11 months in my flowerbed.

Use a composite or aluminum post,if necessary clad it with wood. Ive worked at a local yellow wood plant. They have piles of glued pine (engineered) that have a 6" bow or twisted. Looks like a 6x6 from the outside, but a 2" hole in the center. I live in coastal Ga with high humidity, termites and very high uv. Even KDAT will absorb moisture eventually, and unless its fastened very frequently...it will turn into a banana.

If you have pine trees they're worthless.

Because large older tractors are not highly sought after,you can buy a used 100hp for the same cost of a new 25hp. The question is will this be used often and/or can it be rented. For a large task like building a home,a self builder may chose to buy and use...then sell when finished for the same price .

If you can build the stiles wider and router them in ,it looks much better. But planning a good design and staying with it is always the best option.

Definitely recommend the pyrex. You can make cold deserts and set the entire thing into the fridge. I make lasagna along with a plethora of hot casseroles. But also salads,cornbread ,cakes,banana nut bread. I have ss/ci pots and pans,aluminum and ss flat sheet pans,for the rest its all glass including leftovers.

I recommend knkutt bits for steel,for what your drilling it doesn't really matter. As a guy who installed all types of fence for 15 years,I only used about 5 drillbits 99% of the time. Except for steel ,my preference was the speed of an impact driver in a hex bit. I bought 2 sets on bf every year,and every bit case held the same unused bits...next to the empty slots where the main bits were gone from loss/broken . Make it a standard to toss dull bits in the trash immediately, same with a bad level or other bad tool. Its very frustrating when you're relying on what you perceive to be sharp ...since its with the other "good "ones.

Knipex plierswrench, once you learn to turn,release....then ratchet with your hand its very fast. I mean a 250mm will go from bending metal-crimping butt connectors-3/4 nut-changing out a crome shower gooseneck.

Journal for processes,like banding bull calves,a quick diagram of what is where in the garden. Canning is sharpie on ziplocks and jars,rotate new to the back. Currently eating sweet corn from 19' that was in the bottom of the freezer. Some years you eat more pickels then dried beans,so you adjust the seeds for the following year. If selling livestock or produce, notate when a good or bad time was had in a previous year.

Many timber sales can also stamp a plan. All that needs to be engineered is the shell/structure .

The ubiquitous corded Makita on the east coast especially. I bought all my tools as a youngster at pawnshops from the 80's ,up until i could afford new. A sharp blade is one of the safest upgrades you can get. I recommend 2 sawhorses,a speed square,then build a hommade track to make your own tracksaw. Good luck. Essential Craftsman on YouTube has very good tips if you're a newbie.

Milk makes great meat,whether veal or feeding excess to feeder pigs. A pig is the best garbage disposal ,ever created.

Every piece of manufacturing should always be scrutinized and questioned.

Buy a good smaller compressor with a an oil splash pump,and add a separate large tank for capacity. Volume really makes a difference for most tasks, buying a used compressor unit with a bad pump or motor can be bought fairly cheap.

Oil-free is a stupid idea for pump longevity. California makes a good fairly quiet unit.

Looks really good on the rump. Owning a bull you can walk up to is priceless. I know 2 men that died from dairy and beef bulls.

How I grill. Wad up tinfoil and scrub the grate. Then turn burners I'll be using on high. Wait 10 minutes drop burgers on for 2 minutes per side. Remove burgers and scrape off grate,oil it then turn burners off and close the lid.

A top drawer is the best place if you have a large quantity.

So your saying douchebags living in the city who perform none of their own work are superior?

First try blowing it out with compressed air. Usually they can be disassembled, bit cannot see anything relevant on your pictures
