This past week highs have been in the low thirties and teens. Since we did not plan to be here over a winter we have no skirting so we burn through a 30 lb tank every three days keeping temperature at 55 degrees. We also winterized our water system so no freezing issues. We can ware a sweater to stay warm. We will be moving to a stick and brick for a few weeks to months.
Plants are gone now. In the mid thirties to the 60s the tank lasted 6 days.
My first attempt at salt making. One gallon of salt water into a square 9x9 pan on a hot plate. Let’s see what one gallon of salt water makes. The idea is once I evaporate the liquid what remains is salt. I do a finish dry in a dehydrator or the oven then bottle. Please note I strained the salt water through a towel.
Above is a half a gallon of salt left to cook down in the pan.
Stanley started at 200 degrees at 6:33 am and at 6:33 pm temperature was at 150 degrees. After12 hours and still food safe.
Ozark started at 6:25 am at 12:25 pm temperature was at 150 degrees. After 8 hours and still food safe.
So Stanley is good through dinner or lunch and Ozark is good through lunch.
I have and use both and love them🤠👍
I am working to make contact on all the countries shown on the map. I have about one third now.
My antennas and the moon. I’m on 10, 20 and 40 meters HF and occasionally on our GMRS UHF.
