Thanks Johnny

Thanks Johnny!!! Ever since i listened to the podcast tightening your belt my spending has slowed way down. Every time I go some where and see something I "think" I need  I ask my self Will this help me be more self sufficient?, Will this make me more self reliant? In most cases I don't buy what i was looking at.  I have actually saved money doing this. I know my Navajo Princess thinks this is a blessing at times and a curse at other times.  With that being said I bought 2 books today. 1 "Basic Soap Making" and "DIY Projects for the Self-Sufficient Homeowner." There is a project in the DIY book that may intrest you and other listeners. It is a hot air solar heater. This heater uses no liquid that you would have to worry about leaking in the event a pipe bust. The ONLY electrical part is a fan to blow the hot air into your home. I am thinking a person could have that motor hooked to a car battery that is hooked to a solar panel all by it self.
Other projects were:
How to build a strawberry barrel
How to build a chicken ark
How to build a solar dehydrator using a window
just to name a few of the 25 projects in the book.

Happy Homesteading

I already have so many project ideas that being a trucker I am so busy when I go home it is non stop 110% till I go back to work.

The only problem with listening to Johnny is you end up with so many ideas and projects going, you'll never have another weekend off for the rest of yer life.

 

You aren't kidding!  The forum is even worse!

Yeah, just read a thread about shallow wells.  I have some ideas but I have 4 projects ahead of that.  My namesake needs some carb work, the gardens aren't done, I want to start on rehabbing the root cellar so the roof is a greenhouse and I really want to put live hydraulics on the old 2N and to top it all off, trout season has been in a week and I haven't bent a rod yet.  I could do this full time.
