Water And Lightening Never Mix

Lightening

Have you ever had the chance to watch a lightning storm? These storms can really make the sky light up especially at night. But with this lightning can come the fires that lightning bolts can cause if it hits something. Lightning can cause the item it hits to burst into flames that can get out of hand in a matter of seconds.

Living Off The Grid – Building Your Home

Building Home

When we moved off the grid 16 long years ago one of the things we wanted to do was build our own off grid home. My father had always wanted to build his own house because it would be built the way he wanted… not something that he had to settle for. The first thing we did was build a small cabin that we could live in during the summer months while we were building our off grid home. Our goal by the end of the summer was to have at least the first floor finished so that we could live in it for the winter. The great part about where we live is that bed rock is only about 3 – 5 feet down so we were able to put the foundation right on the bed rock. After pouring the footings it was time to put the concrete block up. You don’t really know how heavy they are until you lift a couple hundred ...

The Thing About Knockout Roses Is…

Knockout Roses

Knockout roses were first introduced in 1999 as a tough and hardy rose that is exceptionally resistant to disease and an ability to withstand a wide range of harsh conditions. As such, they require little attention from the gardener in order to produce satisfactory results making them perfect for a beginning gardener. This has made it one of fastest selling new roses when it was introduced. The knockout rose is a shrub that will grow pretty much anywhere you choose to plant it. It shows exemplary hardiness under a variety of conditions, and grows equally well in sun or the shade. However, for best results use soil with a neutral pH balance (6.6-7.5), use a soaker hose, and expose them to full sun. If full sun is not available, don’t sweat it.
