I just completed an upgrade to the latest version of Xenforo. There are a few more tweaks under the hood to do but they are very minor. Please let @Bill and I know if the site seems more responsive. Thanks for the input Jack - We are currently running on a reseller package that should have...

My example of Harbor Freight tools is when you have the last tile on the floor you are installing break and your friend with the tile saw just left. Go to HF and buy a saw. If it lasts more than that one tile it's a bonus. They are so cheap it kind of doesn't matter. Actually some of their...

I'm with everyone with the 'tipping' concerns.... That was my main concern when I built it. Another concern I had was in transport, how tippy it would be. Much to my surprise, it wiggles a little, but isn't nearly as tippy as I expected it to be. The running gear is old and heavy, and it...

Gulp, I'm in the heat of "it doesn't last forever". And never forget we are making memories when we are out together. Somehow "just like old times" will be fun too, I just hope it doesn't get here too soon. You are fortunate, I only get one chance... But I'm making the most of it! -John

Its all buttoned up, ready for the field: Jake pulled it out with his 'wheeler: I was scared it might be top heavy, so I followed him with the skidsteer and forks, ready to catch it if I needed to: And here it is in it's place for the season:

The way the roof is made I doubt the snow would stand on it? If it did, I don't think it would hold 2 - 3 feet. They don't seem that strong. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I'll be honest, I have no idea. Lots. None of the bigger ones were spotted from a stand :( Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

What kinds of plants did they use? I've never seen a willow become invasive.... -John

A "WigWam" or "TeePee":

A Fedge:

A few more design options:

I bought some images from a nursery in the UK, these aren't personally mine: Arbor: Dome:

The dome planted a couple of years ago:

And a few more:

Much to my dismay, I can't find many of the dome pictures I took. I have looked and looked and looked. All of my digital images are now more organized than ever before, but I'm still missing most of the dome pictures :(:mad::confused: Here are some pictures of building last years dome...

Hunting season hasn't been over for that long... Be nice to each other around here please. I should dust off the topics we don't discuss here. Deer farms is one of them. Everyone have a Merry Christmas and enjoy the season! -John
