Canning

I have been canning the last couple of weeks. The garden has been good this year and I'm filling the pantry with lots of goodies.

The harvest....

Our garden is finally paying off. I've made 6 batches of zucchini bread and 16 pints of pickles. It's just the begining.

Solution.......

I know this looks like a red neck way to do this but I think it's going to work. I'm sure glad we got that truck.

The in roofing....

It has been a trial because we made the pitch so steep.......note to self "don't do that again". We are using the tin from the previous shed so there are holes that we needed to chalk and I did that before we put it up.....because it's scary due to the pitch. We are now ready to put the cap on and have to come up with a way to get to the ridge.

White Oak Pottery truck...

We finally found an old work truck that was worth buying. We have been looking for a couple years for a truck to replace the van that we were using like a truck. The seats were out of it more then they were in. The truck is a '74 and only has 123,000 miles on it. There are only minor things wrong with it which we will be able to fix.......we wanted an old truck without a computer so we could fix it ourselves. We bought it in Roxboro for $1,800.00.

Progress.....

The posts are recycled from the old shed and are carrying more weight so we decided to beef them up and add braces to help carry the load and making it more stable for putting on the tin.

Burners have arrived....

We got our burners yesterday. We had them built by Cooperworks Kilns. We got all the bells and whistles on these babies.....forced air, gauges and pilot burner.
