That's a nice size shop you have there.

Question Bill: Since there's been a rumour that you are into food (growing/cooking)

I'm wondering if you do any sprouting?

Thanks I still have the other side of the board and baton siding/and windows to do yet.
The boards are done in a pine tar/linseed mixture and done one all sides, this penetration of the oil goes right through the boards.
I'll do a refresh linseed spray over everything this next season as I'm waiting on a sprayer to be tested by our friend that imports the materials into North America from Sweden.
Amazing the pine boards are black after applying the pine tar and linseed oil mix, then in a few days they retain a nice golden honey.

Jim,

Well we tried it over the winter with some cheap grow lights I bought online. It didn't really pan out but might get a better light assembly this fall and give it another shot.

They do sell some pretty elaborate kits specifically for micro greens but odds are you could jerry rig your own version. There's some online videos covering it.

We sprout mung beans, except we stop the sprouting when the tails are a 1/4" long. The secret is rinse at least 6 times in the first 24hrs. Most times 30hrs is the required time. We toss a small handful into the salad mixtures and find that they're a great supplement to the salads.

Though we have looked into one of the bigger growing units, and just haven't decided on the unit. There was one that pretty well did everything for a person as it was all computerized/monitored for humidity/heat/lighting.
It came with a hefty price tag as well, something like $2500++.
Then again what we spend on greens over a year-the lack of getting fresh greens in the winter-reducing the footprint-it's all worth it we figure.

Plant a garden, they said.
It will be rewarding, they said.

I have got cucumbers, squash, and zucchini coming out of my ears! I’ve been cooking, baking, slicing, dicing, shredding, freezing and dehydrating! And the sweet corn is ready! Spent all last night with 6 friends picking, shucking, cooking, cooling, scraping and bagging. 116 bags of corn and there are still 6 rows left! And they can’t help any more.

Y’all take care!
I’m going to need a minute or a month! [emoji3061]

I used linseed oil on my utility trailer floor and it did a fine job.

Good morning rook....I'm looking for a cache at my new land spot rook. No one says there's a cache here its just wise to check for them. House dates to 1920-40. No banks in the keys then. Everyone hid there money in the keys because the only banks were in Miami or key west. No banks in the rural keys until 50s. I'll make a you tube video to show you guys this spot. Its gonna take some work just to clear out some space to swing.

Well, you can clearly state on a resume that you are outstanding in your field.

Looking forward to the video. My old tin top home permission has got to have a hiding place somewhere. The fact that these people farmed tells me they hid cash somewhere. It may be they put some back in the walls of the house. I don't have permission there.. But the old garden spot would be a prime place.
