This weeks preps check-in

well,I'll be..mom is finally getting rid of A LOT of old clothes.i already have a bunch of room in my closet for preps now,plus we just dealt with clothes from the laundry-room..she's thinking of a floor type cabinet for food in that location.then another cabinet for food,where the home made shelves are,in which it'll be for food as well. .her bedroom closet will be next...then the hall closet..preppers paradise.all in all..freeing up lots of space for preps..

Fantastic Brent. I'm hoping to do something similar in my polytunnel next year, get the tomatoes chillies and peppers started off nice and early and extend the growing season of peas and beans later on.

My phone died as I was trying to post Picts. Here's another try

While we're on a roll with pictures here is the house for the kids we've been working on.

Got a good start on the pig pen over the last couple of days. I sized it for up to 8 market sized (220-240#) pigs but plan on 4 to start with. I'll butcher 2 for the family and sell the other 2. I tried to attach a picture but I guess my phone is too slow.
Tomorrow I'll excavate the sites for the chicken coop and the fur shed. As long as I get the foundation and floor in before freeze-up I can build all winter.

Here's the start of the pig pen. Should finish in a couple of days.

Great view!

we finally got done with all of the closets.we now have plenty of clothes for a yard sale.and more space for preps.saved more buttons from another top.plus it has 2 flower designs on it.in which it had imitation pearls on it.their saved.figure i can use thread to make a pearl necklace and sell it in a yard sale for 10-25 cents..and finally starting my next months primary shopping list,plan on doing it up right for extra food preps.

Well we've finally moved into the new place a lot closer to our BOL, just to find out that the farm it is on have been put up for sale by our so called "friend" and not a word from him, but we smelled a rat. We have already sussed out a new place in a very small town close by, it's got vacant lots surrounding it so maybe I'll buy those as well, i think things will turn out for the better this way.

Well that's a blow, sorry to hear it's not gone as you'd hoped, but it sounds like a blessing in disguise.

good luck with everything..

Meeting today with a couple dozen like-minded politically aware people, many former military and LE. Having a demonstration and seminar over biodiesel, than I'm giving a lecture on local community networking.

I bottled 6 5 gal carbouys of wine today. This was the last of last years wine. With the 6 containers emptied, I filled them up with the first batch of this years muscadine wine. It's not tremendous amount of work, but you need the patience of Jobe if you make wine. to get the best flavor it's a year after fermenting, then bottling, then one more year of aging in the bottle, or more. Of course you can drink it right away too, but the wine snobs might look down on you......

Having a group to work together is going to be essential if shtf. Hope you get some good contacts.

Call it Beajolais Nouveau and the best wine snobs will be queueing up.

As the infamous Fred Sanford put it he liked 'booze your lay'.
