    Watching you rummage through your scrap metal pile reinforces the idea that I never throw anything away. You never know when you might need it.

    I'm a woman in my 70s, and have lots of projects going on our farm. My husband takes no interest AT ALL, so it's another one of my responsibilities to build, maintain, repair, restore, whatever is needed. I've been tearing down old sagging garage shelves, to access a wall that was water damaged. Tore out old sheet rock and nasty insulation. Replaced all that, and painted the wall a fresh, uplifting color, from dark brown, to pale green/white. Fixed some electrical. Now, building HIS freestanding garage shelf unit frames out of 2x4s, and 3/4 inch particle board shelves. I always shop at Habitat ReStore stores first, to recycle building materials. I got all my shelves from there. I used polyurethane sealant on shelves, then placed contact paper on top. The frames are all primed, then painted white. I think it will make cleaning easier. I got the first unit completed, but lost some motivation, to get the second one done, as he doesnt help, and criticizes what I HAVE done. He says, "Well, I wouldnt have done it like that." I told him he's welcome to do it at all. I've been using the same box frame design, and cross supports, as you are for your table, so I knew I had been doing something right!! If BEN does it, it's fine enough for ME!!! 🥰😆 The shelves should be sturdy enough to hold any type of garage 'stuff' he/we can think of. You've motivated me to get the second unit built! Starting NOW!! Thanks, Ben!! ❤❤❤❤❤

      Wow, that's a project! So sorry your husband is so unsupportive! I'm divorcing mine and I'm 63 years old, soon to be 64. My husband wants me to fix our hobby farm he has let "rot" and I got hit by a car as a pedestrian over 10 years ago and I don't have the mobility I used to have and I can't do it! He thinks I'm faking my injuries. I'm done with him! Bye bye! I loved my farm but he ruined it for me. Nasty person. Our boys are 19 and 20 years old and soon to be out on their own. They see my pain but he won't. I'm not taking his blame for his neglect of the farm!

      @StoneKathryn Thank you!! I can certainly relate to these Narcissistic Sociopaths. Such a waste. He was diagnosed with a rare, inoperable, incurable cancer, a year ago, so I would never feel right about leaving. God is in charge. I've had 3 hip replacements, 8 heart attacks, 8 stents, quadruple heart bypass, severe migraines, and 7 back surgeries, but still manage to 'take care of ...' He ... hmmm. Thing is, he is such a mean person, I prayed for years, that God would get his attention. Then, he had an emergency surgery, and they found the cancer.

      @@susanmcconnell6041 So sorry you've had to "suffer' through him! My first husband murdered my mom and shot my twin sister when I left him. I'm not going to let this one do that again to me. I'm gone. I feel that God has kept all this pain in my body so It would come out what an awful person he is. He was hiding it. Now I know. He is a Dr. Jekyll, and Mr. Hide just like my first one was that went to trying to kill me in 2 years. We've been married now for 14 years and this one is about there again. They are so sick and they just can't see it. I hope mine gets sick too! Sorry God! I'm so sorry for the waste of your time he has been! I keep doing it too. The guy I talk to now is terminal. I feel safe with him. Weird! Big hugs!!!!! I love all my kids and that's the wonderful part of my two bad marriages. God is good!

    I have been waiting for the day Ben uses his talents to make a table for the house. Something beautiful yet diversely useful because the space is at a premium. I would imagine he makes a bench seat along the back wall near the windows for storage. Then maybe the table is capable of getting longer or shorter.
    I think the legs on the processing table are fine. It does the job. I would add a shelf underneath as others have suggested.

    I can just remember you announcing you were expecting Buggie and so I cannot believe sweetie pie is already as big as she is. My goodness who would have thought when you and the boys all landed there that you would be blessed with those two sweet little girls. Time flies. I remember the boys in Ca playing and the chicken walking into the kitchen while you were making bread and or making soap. Crazy........slow it down a bit I am 78 now and watched almost all your children since they were tykes or about........
    Love that you all sit for dinner with all around and praying Grace before dinner. It reminds me of growing up when mom, dad and we seven sat around the table doing the same. Wow, God blesses you so greatly with all that love. Love your family and you two are exceptional........wondering if your own mother cooked as you do Meg, or did you just take a liking to cooking? Not like we have a lot of choice when we have a family to feed. Love watching you all. God bless!
