Their faq says they only ship to residential through shipt or instacart. They have their own distribution system for commercial entities.
Their retail stores are open to the public and they have curbside pickup. They are local to us.
Very cool, thanks.
Here are some of the creations from those cookie making kits we sent out before Christmas. Posted above.
I won’t post pictures of the kids but we do have lots of photos of the kids having fun. The kids were aged 6 to late 20s.
The last photo are the cookies I made after midnight on Christmas Eve because we ran out decorated cookies and I was told I couldn’t use the left over icing as cookie dip.

re-did this porch for a sweet retired couple down in Jonesboro.
their original porch fell apart and their son built a replacement without knowing what he was doing that had a bunch of problems. we could re-use the corner posts and some of the frame to keep costs down. the stairs and their posts were made from scratch. the frame got raised and double-banded and set on the posts properly. lots of the decking got re-used and the benches, banisters, and hand rails got made from scratch but some lumber was re-used

Water beads!
ETA: I purchased a 1# bag of these for $10 because they looked interesting and seemed like they could be used for art or crafts. One tablespoon of dehydrated beads filled a large dish when re-hydrated.
So far I haven’t figured out what to do with them, other than putting a few in the microwave. They explode with a sharp pop after only 10 seconds! More experimentation needed…

I was curious, too. The large flat area is an electric substation:
in Ripley county, MO. The lidar is sensitive enough to pick up very small elevation differences:

Wow that is quite sensitive!
I couldnt get a feel for the scale from the first picture.

Our Meyer lemon needs a new pot. We’ve gone through 2 big plastic ones in 3 years. The current one is holding on with the assistance of duct tape. I think it’s a 20 gal pot.
Ideally, I want something that will not turn into trash in under 2 years and has either wheels or real handles, or both. We need to be able to move it into shelter several times a year.
I’ve considered a half-barrel and bolting on casters and handles. Not sure that will work.
Any ideas?

Titan sells an all-iron swivel caster through Lowe’s. I’m guessing the “2-in” in the heading means 2 inches?

Same here! I have been looking for heavy duty plastic or resin pots locally (at local garden centers and the large “orange” and “blue” home centers) and coming up empty. What I’ve found so far is either too flimsy or too expensive (well over $100 each gets to be eye-wateringly expensive when I need 4).
What kind of half barrel are you considering? Wooden half whiskey barrel? I just figured they would rot as fast as or faster than the plastic pots break down.

That looks smaller than 20 gallons but things like this come in all sizes. Search their store for galvanized.
Then you could get a round blank from your local home store and put any type of caster you want. Harbor Freight has the best prices on casters of all sizes. Or it all can be ordered online.
I have some galvanized bushels that are well over 30 years old. They have a very nice patina but they are in great shape.

When the pandemic started my wife wanted to fix her sewing machine so she could get back into sewing craft stuff. At the time, due to everyone else thinking the same thing there was months long wait times to get it serviced.
So, we got a very nice(and expensive) Husqvarna Viking machine. It was the last one in stock for a while.
This is what she’s been up to to put in the Valentine’s bags we’re delivering.

I have success growing citrus in 5 to 10 gal fabric growbags. they have handles, although they get pretty damned heavy, they are pretty inexpensive, and fairly durable. Only drawback, and it is also a blessing, is that they dry out pretty quickly and need frequent watering. I put mine on a timer so I don’t have to do it manually, though.

I was thinking whisky or wine but the galvanized ones @tcg550 mentioned look good. Especially if they patina. I too am afraid the wood will rot

My partner ran drip irrigation for when the tree is in it’s usual place and not snugged by the door bc of freezes. I’ll look into cloth too. Heavy can be done, we have two fully mobile adults for moving if needed

I have two big half barrels that I use and I got them almost 10 years ago at either Lowe’s or HD. They are holding up very well (no sign of rot). They’re being used for my Aloe plants, so they do dry out a bit between waterings.
I think as long as you don’t set them in on a drip tray full of water, they should last quite awhile.
ETA: I like the galvanized cans, too!

Here’s one of them. This one was sitting outside for many many years, it has been in the yard since before I was married some 38 years ago. I turned it into a fountain last year. I sprayed the bottom with a little flex seal because it had a pin hole leak on one side and between the weight of the water and the rocks I wanted a little extra protection.
