  • @sommersprossen12345

    I’m confused. I’ve watched a couple of videos how to make yogurt in an instant pot. There’s your way where you put the milk and the live cultures in at the same time and set the hours and it’s done. But other videos they put it in and put it on boil till it gets 185° then you have to wait till it goes down to 110° and then put the cultures in wrap it up keep it warm for desired time which seems more time-consuming and tedious Is there a right and wrong way?

  • @MichelleMAnderson13

    I have a 10x8 shed we’re about to put up and it came with a steel frame. I have to put it on my lawn and I’m interested in any and all feedback in regards to how to place it. Can it go right on level lawn or do I have to dig out the center for rocks for a moisture barrier? I’ve seen so many videos but none that have a shed right on the ground, most say to elevate the frames with concrete stones. How is yours holding up with moisture and do you have any advice for putting a shed on lawn? Thank you! Your shed looks great

    I ended up getting mine for free because it was missing parts and was dented from shipping. I have done a bit of re-engineering on mine and it will be a more sturdy and secure shed. Thanks for the video.

  • @pedmonds5389
    @pedmonds5389 Před 21 dnem

    Bending them end to end warps the panels and when undone they are not straight. It is best to leave tailgate down and strap without bending panels end to end. I learned this the hard way. Hope this helps.

    I was looking for the differences between hog panels and cattle panels and came across this video by accident. I picked up a few cattle panels today because I need them to reinforce my fence and keep my pigs/dogs/goats out of my neighbor's cow pasture. Anyhow, here's a fun one for you. I don't have a truck. 😂😂 I was wondering how the hell I was going to get 16ft cattle panels home with me in an SUV. I was sitting there waiting for the guys to come over with it I noticed they had two bent ones clipped together to use for their cardboard trash and I got to thinking. I had them tie the 16ft panel ends together into a circle and then tied that circle to my luggage rack. 😂 You can probably only move one or two at a time like that, but necessity breeds creativity. Tie it tight so it doesn't bounce loose and make sure you line up the corners when tying it so it doesn't slide around, but I can assure that you can move 16ft cattle panels on an SUV and probably a car too if it has a roof rack. I'm not one to make videos, but maybe you can do what you want with this info. I'm just glad the hardware store is only 2 miles away. 😂

    First time seeing one of your videos. Your passion and excitement are contagious. I’m sitting at 5 hives and have been thinking of July splits to 10 (with lots of feeding), but have been nervous to try grafting. Even have a Chinese grafting tool. Was going to try cell punch method, but may go the route you chose after hearing about your success.
