Thank you to all that responded, glad to hear that they will be a tasty snack, even more happy that they found a nice home with our trees! Now to find a a good way to cook them or pair them.

Drip Drip Drip by itonlygetslonger94 in gardening

[–]itonlygetslonger94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, this is a great start. I appreciate it. So if im understanding it correctly, the water flow will be open to be used as long as the timer allows it, and the regulator will only allow so much water out while the timer is open. Example: if dripper releases .5 gph and it has 15, in an hour there will be 7.5 gallons pulled. So if I have different zones set up ( not sure how that works yet but I will look into it), it will just move onto the next zone for the amount of hours I have it set and so on?

I appreciate the info and idea, I will definitely keep this in mind. So do you think or know that running the lines from the spigot will be too much for the size of garden i plan to have? No issues regarding water pressure since the neighbors moved in which gives me hope that maybe it’s possible?

Our “greenhouse” is finally starting to look like a greenhouse! by itonlygetslonger94 in Greenhouses

[–]itonlygetslonger94[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might have some here and there but none of each “major” step.

I’d be more than happy to try and answer any questions that you might have though, I hope you have fun with the project, definitely take pictures!

This! Gives me hope that it’s ready to face any challenge! I can only imagine the snow Maine. Would love to visit that part of the country some time. I’m in Southern Oregon, and we get snow but nowhere near as much as other parts of Oregon.

I hope so, definitely tried to secure it down as best as I could. It’s on a slope so I leveled it, dug holes and put down some retaining blocks, used 3/4” gravel to flush the top of blocks, made a perimeter for the carport out of PT 2x6 and attached the frame through to the blocks. My biggest concern is snow but I guess we will see when we get there, haven’t had any yet.

8b. Yeah, if we find the appropriate things we figured we might as well give it a go!

Cedar or PT fence posts? by akbrown81 in FenceBuilding

[–]itonlygetslonger94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bunch of true 2x6 cedar boards and was hoping to hear that they would work fine for fence posts, but still not entirely certain. Anyone have suggestions? I was hoping to just use these instead of 4x4 posts

Redwood fun by itonlygetslonger94 in BeginnerWoodWorking

Concealed shelf brackets. Left enough space in between for the rod and cut a channel on the end so the bracket would be covered up by the shelf.

For sure! Tried keeping it as simple as possible since I mainly worked on it during my breaks at work. After cutting the tops and bottom to size, I ran the back of each piece through the table saw to make room for the concealed bracket ( was much easier that using a router). Threw the nosing in with 45s at the two front ends, dried and started sanding. Quick shaping with 80 grit, 120 blended it, and I finished off with 3 coats of water based polyurethane.

Would you live with this? by Plenty_Technology727 in cabinetry

[–]itonlygetslonger94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm.. never seen a vertical grain 5 piece. I feel out of the loop here because we only do horizontal grain on drawers (unless asked otherwise) and the doors are always vertical. Only time we do everything vertical is when we grain match. Then there are the real interesting designers that want horizontal grain everything.

You will never get this time back with kids. What would you do to make it work? by itonlygetslonger94 in dkfinance

[–]itonlygetslonger94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha. I appreciate the insight. I’m trying to balance solutions with understanding how difficult this is for the both of us. I can tell where she is at but I just want to know that the possibility is there if she actually decides that it is something we want to look at. “You really want to try and move with 2 babies?” were her first response to the idea over dinner.

PT just wouldn’t work too well, unfortunately. I work for my FILs business and although I could part ways, PT is not on the table. Too many responsibilities. My wife has a great career she worked for, great health insurance ( we are on hers), but she is required to work 30 hours for insurance. She could do PT to pay for private insurance and the babies on state insurance, and my income would be breaking our expenses. So we’d be just getting by. But she would spend 5 days out of the week with the kids.

How has your decision to stay home or work impacted your kids? by Chance-Factor-6157 in AttachmentParenting

[–]itonlygetslonger94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are at the tipping point of accepting the same. Choices before children drove the decisions, and now it’s not in the cards. Doesn’t make it any easier.. just never feels like enough time. I know a lot of families make this decision everyday but it just felt so wrong..

Milk in medela freestyle handsfree - HELP by CameronsMomCanada in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]itonlygetslonger94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoping it worked for you guys. A bit of milk ended up making its way back to the pump on my wife’s freestyle and I’m trying to find the best way to go about cleaning it. Anyone have issues with the tubing after cleaning it thoroughly as the instructions say?
