NEW! A Safe Lid Assembly For Your Hand Held Milking System
I give praise to God for my newest invention: A user friendly, safe lid assembly for hand held milking pumps.

Even though Dansha […]
Another Solar Solution: A 2,000 Watt Portable Solar Generator

NEW! A Safe, User Friendly Hand Held Milking System!
I’m glad to report that finally, there’s an alternative to the Dansha Farms’ hand held milking system, a product that IMO should be outlawed for its inability to be adequately cleaned. You see, over a year ago, I purchased a hand held milking system from Dansha Farms trusting that the blob of polyurethane (used to […]

A gas generator, or a solar generator? Since we already have a 3,500 Watt gas generator, and I believe […]

The Newest Addition to our Homestead – Chicks!
I give praises to God for the newest addition to our Florida homestead. Yesterday, the Lord blessed us with 2 chicks which we hatched after incubation for 3 weeks. We have more eggs in the incubator, mostly duck eggs. Above is a photo of our first chick. God willing, more will come which we plan […]
DIY 2ft Vertical Garden Using Plastic Bottles
Today, I went out and completed a small project that’s been on my mind for quite a while: A vertical garden! We’ll be growing either lettuce or strawberries in these DIY pots as they provide just the right spacing to allow for those smaller plants. Build your own Vertical Plastic Bottle Garden using the following: […]

This video features an update on our DIY self-watering, solar powered hydroponic garden built using a few 2×4’s, 10 inch PVC drain pipes, 3 feet of garden hose and a solar water pump I bought on Amazon for under $15.
