Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Farming and carpentry.
We have a flock of quail and about 1/4 of land being used for vegetables along with a couple dozen fruit trees and bushes. We have a lot of seedlings that are popping up so making sure they don't dry out has kept me pretty busy lately.
We have a big renovation of an old barn coming up in a few weeks. There's a couple structural beams that need replacing and reinforcement, a wall is leaning, and the whole roof needs to be replaced. Aside from that I want to turn the far side of the barn into a more finished temperature controlled area and section off part of it to be an indoor coop for the quail for when we get crazy weather like -10 degree weather, 110 degree weather or 300 AQI.
I worked on a farm as a kid, I was a framing carpenter from 16-20 and I loved all of it. Now I do computer stuff and it pays well, the farming and carpentry is what keeps me happy. Although people will often tell me to take a break and do something for myself which is funny.
