What about the rest of us? Post here so we all can see?

That feed gap looks big!

Yeah, I have an adjustable board going there.

I built one similar to this. It didn't work very well, the feed hung up in it.
a kick in the side loosened it up, though.

The glass really helps the feed to flow well.

Yup, I like the feeling of accomplishment when I am finished. especially when it looks like what I had imagined it would..
The paint was over $10.oo/quart,
the gallon was $24/oo. I used only about 1/2 inch off the top of the can. I think I have a life time supply; for the little painting I do..
DD is going to plant 250 Hemp clones.
she brought them here last night. It is up to me to get the garden ready. they take up a lot of room. 4 feet apart in 6 foot rows.
a crop takes about 60 days.
all she can see are $$$$ signs. she hasn't met Mr. Reality yet. I read that it is similar to growing tobacco . lots of labor involved.
I just hope she makes her investment back.
If it were me, I would be selling clones.

Broody mama got her 6wo's up on the main roost last night.
Maybe all the screaming I heard yesterday was the beginning of weaning?

Kinda might be easier to see if filled with feed?
