    Long time no see!

    That was some busy years I tell you :D :D :D looks like some more relaxing times are coming. How cool! I have made and sold bucket loads and they have paid for a lot of my projects. But it all started here on the BCUK.

    Long time no see!

    Hello Folk! It has been ages since my last visit to this great forum. I have been all around the place, getting land, building house, raising kids, developing and learning many new skills and trades. But I always felt, that by doing something else I do remember where It all started. And it all...

    What excites you about spring arriving?

    That was done by machinery, the same that set's these up by the roads, they are replacing existing electric lines with underground cables, so there is plenty of concrete posts available. Quite an interesting resource for a few years before they will be gone... Yes, is there enough time to...

    What excites you about spring arriving?

    Two days ago, was a national Stark day, it was a day when I put up this nest pole and a frame for that very special homestead bird. When they return from Africa is when spring comes... First job of the season, ground still frozen solid.

    What excites you about spring arriving?

    Can't wait to get out and tap a maple or a birch, them planting a few trees ( maybe like 50 to 100 this year) and when I get to it - finishing the house! That would be awesome. But first things first, still freezing cold with snow here... but the days are longer.

    How many eggs...

    Many many eggs. My grandfather has 20 chickens, he can't keep up with 3 families needs and we have to buy some extra. I think 10 per person per week is the average. We love them for the breakfast and it's this or porridge that we have, so I prefer eggs. And then wife likes to cook cakes and...

    First flint and steel fire

    WOW, that's a PRO fire you lit there! I like the way you stacked it up, I always lack the patience to go the right way and then it takes longer to get a good fire going. But I'm still happy as a child when I manage to ignite charcloth the first strike, makes me go Whooohoooo! ;) Anyway, the...

    Elderberry crop planting on your land?

    Well, mostly they are left for the wild birds on my property :D :D As a berry it has a very unusual taste and smell, one of the local names for the tree is a "fart" (but that's also because it makes bubbles) :D But we make more and more jam out of it every year now, as the research show this...

    Elderberry crop planting on your land?

    Wow, that's quite something! My site is full of these bushes and I often have to get rid of them as they are in my way, but I was always keen on keeping as much, because the flowers makes one of the best teas in the world and it's one of the most treasured bushes of the ancients, they called it...
