What was your prep of the day?

Today we added 5 pecan trees to the homestead. Be awhile before we see any harvest but who knows maybe the world won't end before they produce. Any way I can use the spring trimmings to smoke with so its a win win!

I am looking to add some pear and some cherry trees this year.

Nice! I do like pecan for smoking. Similer to hickory.

Nursery time. Get some 5 to 7 ft tall drop them in the ground.

Menards has nice pear trees. I planted 2 a couple of years ago. Deer worked on them so they have been slow to grow. Best cherries I seen was at Rural King but I seen nice ones at Lowes this year too.

Yes I had that in mind when planting them. I spaced them out but once they mature I might need to take one out. I plan to keep them trimmed. They probably reach full maturity until I'm 80.

I'm almost out of room. I might sneak in another cherry but I'm about done or else I lose a tree and need a replacement.

last week, picked up about twenty gallon cans of Piant, a few gallons of paint remover, and about ten nice 4X4 box panels, will make great fence material, and it was all free.
Also, worked out a deal with the local co-op, to get 10 dollars in credit for some boxes that we normally let employees have, we get three or five a month, so that is just money in my pocket, so far, he has three boxes, and I have spent 5 dollars on chicken feed, and he owes me 25$.
Three days ago I REALLY SCORED, a lot ( like a level truck bed worth) of hardwood, 3/4 inch oak, anywhere from 8 to 12 inches wide, lots of boards, at four feet each. (the employees usually get first dibs, but I grabbed these during a clean up.) I will make a lot of MONEY from that wood.
Yesterday, I got more fence panels, and 10 gallons of floor concrete sealant.
Today, I just loaded about 15 gallons of old paint, and two cases of Teflon spray (similar to WD 40), but not oily.
We are cleaning out our warehouse, and reducing our chemical inventory.
My wife will sell or use the paint, and I have huge plans in the making for all the wood.
Stay tuned.

I ordered 8 more 18" F-style Bessey Clamps and 4 more 24" F-style Bessey clamps. I should have bought them BEFORE I started the kitchen cabinets. But I certainly have a LOT more cabinetry and furniture to build. This brings my total up to 18 of each size.

He who dies with the most clamps wins!

Been away for awhile, tried the sober thing and AA ended up not just falling off the wagon but I was told by a couple worker that I burnt the thing to the ground... Lol. So back to normal now but working non stop for the new truck payment as well as a worn out lawnmower to fight with every time I mow and a failing sewage system...

Hey Tachammer good to see ya stop in. Yeah life is a bumpy road and you can always build another wagon since you burned down the other one!
