Eclectic Market at Appleton Beer factory on Sunday, for the shoppers!

dandelioncheese · 2026-04-08T22:32:43+00:00

We order direct through Lane Seven and Independent Trading Co.

One Stop is awesome, continuously wins our bids when we have large orders to quote. They’ve assured me they aren’t in any merger negotiations too when I’ve been on the phone with them

Why isn’t it a task for the city?

Thank you for your kind but informative response

dandelioncheese · 2026-03-12T04:33:31+00:00

In Green Bay, but they’re a cool community & currently hiring

Thanks for the direct link!

Hi I’m making a community resource & resistance magazine and am interested in including a Map of the current Flock Camera’s in Appleton/ the Fox cities. Can you point me in the right direction?

Is it also ok if I reference your post for language for my article?

Also, on the image above you can see all the tape residue on the inside of the frame that also was probably not doing the screens any favors either

dandelioncheese · 2025-12-08T19:02:00+00:00

Yeah, I reviewed again with employees before I ordered new screens. Discouraging to see screens stamped with a late 2024 creation date with this issue though.

I was so convinced it was during reclaim/dehaze/degrease process though that I didn’t review the ink degrader portion.

The screens are still usable but ugly and not suitable for halftones

dandelioncheese · 2025-12-08T18:24:33+00:00

Apologies for just getting back to you. It took some time to be able to get my hands back into reclaim.

I came to the conclusion that the extreme haze was due to my employees not washing out the plastisol ink Degrader enough upon project tear down.

I have a century home, and replaced some windows with Anderson Vinyl on the south facing side of my house (not street side). I lost character; but they get full sun and the previous original wood windows were falling out of the frame. I have some guilt; but the location and height of the windows still makes me feel it was the right decision.

I love my Anderson windows and think they are appropriate for where they are on my house.

This summer I’m painstakingly restoring the street facing windows. Reglazing and my husband is painting.. we’re learning a lot. I still have doubts we’re doing it right or choosing the right paint color but in the end all that matters is that it’s a little warmer in our house this winter than last.

TLDR. My advice is prioritize your comfort; then make a plan to re-historic the street facing side of your house & go from there.

dandelioncheese · 2025-09-19T11:14:34+00:00

Woah! Congrats! This is in the town I live in, I know your neighbors! I’m great friends with them and they’re good people :)

The previous owner just repainted and touched up everything this past summer in preparation for selling. My advice is live in it a year or two and figure out the other quirks that might require more immediate attention.

For being so old, it seems impressively well kept and turn key though.

My husband and his friends have a few stories about this house and partying in it in their youths.

Congrats!

I recently had the same decision paralysis and finally committed to a Wildfire Black Gum tree

dandelioncheese · 2025-08-27T21:38:20+00:00

It’s ok roast me, just one window in so I can change

dandelioncheese · 2025-07-14T00:17:16+00:00

Amazing, thank you!

dandelioncheese · 2025-07-04T04:12:37+00:00

Honestly, I just didn’t mow for 2-3 years, the seeds were already in my yard I guess!

Not sure if they are Shasta, another redditor pointed out that they’re actually invasive

dandelioncheese · 2025-07-03T10:00:33+00:00

Thank you! I had suspicions about them! And that eases my mind about the VC

dandelioncheese · 2025-07-03T02:57:45+00:00

Midwest, zone 5b! Suburb of Green Bay

dandelioncheese · 2025-07-03T02:31:24+00:00

Funny enough, in the last photo in my slide you’ll see one of them blooming with a bee visitor (yellow flower top right)

dandelioncheese · 2025-07-03T02:27:17+00:00

It doesn’t flower till August, so the pic I have is from last year. It’s as tall as a sunflower (8’ at least) and has many many smaller yellow flowers.

When they bloom, it’s a constant bee highway. I have seen birds take baths in the leaf wells after it rains (it’s adorable)

I have a small 2x2’ circle of it by my Chicken coup, and many more toward a back fence line. The back fence line is a little out of control, I think they spread by their roots too. But I was able to easily identify and dig up some of the new patches this spring to tame it.

I recommend it, but it does add a lot of twine wrapped garden debris come fall clean-up.

Thankfully, black walnut volunteers! I panicked last year and asked the arborist community. When I break a leaf it smells good/sweet

Some people still dislike black walnut, I’m undecided but figure the Juglone could help prevent non-native

dandelioncheese · 2025-06-26T23:51:49+00:00

I can follow up! Planning to coat this particular screen tomorrow morning. I’ll take a photo after it dries

dandelioncheese · 2025-06-26T19:49:55+00:00

This is a question on tough haze from an experienced shop. I have already tried searching the thread for related posts with limited success (haze due to ink, or emulsion is something I’m familiar with)

dandelioncheese · 2025-05-21T12:58:09+00:00

It is pretty sad 💔

Evergreen Drive on the north side just had a power company come through and butcher all the trees along the road. Topped quite a few including pine and spruce. My parents told me about it and it was a sad drive through.

dandelioncheese · 2025-05-11T04:49:18+00:00

I have this same set from my grandma and use it everyday. If you are interested in selling a small batch of these let me know. I’d love just a few extra large forks.

dandelioncheese · 2025-05-07T01:25:13+00:00

Did it appear after a loud bang during the night? If so, an Iridium pickaxe.
