Pollard; I am glad that you are into details like this. There are times that this is really necessary for things to run well.

That said, at this point in my life I am happy to be on a public water system and not a well! I am at a point where I need to downsize and simplify.

How much do you have left before you finish your high tunnel? The sides? (Will it be goat and deer proof after that?)

Do you intend to give up goat herding and turn to Quail? (I understand that Goats are good at understory managment.)

[Pollard]

Well I used to make signs like these but got away from the hustle and bustle of Ctrl FL to make a place to retire. Now that I don't have that to do, it seems lots of planning, with detail, has taken it's place. Still need sides and ends for the tunnel, which is a lot of details so it's right up my ally. Plans with details are different than having the money to do it the way I'd like though.

I was eyeballing the goats yesterday thinking about keeping a pair which is dumb because I don't have enough land for even a single goat. They all need to go and now that forage is starting to grow, people will be looking for goats. Don't know about quail but I do want laying hens again. I'll have to build a nice big run for them though to keep them out of the garden and out of the talons of hawks.

@Paul R. - My family religion is Congregationalist like the Pilgrims we descend from. Our church where I lacked attendance was established in 1620. Self autonomous with elders instead of big, top down church. The Pilgrims aka Separatists were not big on the whole top down thing(speaking of kings). I vaguely remember Sunday school.

My experience with Catholicism was the two city boys, one Irish, one Italian, that used to bully me with their crucifixes dangling from their necks. I do respect their zest and zeal though because they saved everyone's butts back in 1483 at the Gates of Vienna, else we'd all be under Sharia now.

There are two Congregationalist churches here in MO and both hundreds of miles from me. Every time I try to research what version of Christianity or church around here might be close, my brain gets fried by what seems like the hundreds of different flavors of Christianity that exist. I keep telling myself I just need to try the closest church and if that one's not a fit, try the next closest and so on, but I haven't done so yet.
