Charlie, in taking down an old house, am batering with what comes out. Some has gone to help another homesteader build what she needs, another friend firewood, cement blocks and 2x8 lumber for shelves. I've been getting eggs, a nice doe rabbit and use of a vehicle to get potting soil. Will be building a better shelter for my ewes also.
I LOVE THIS!!!❤
