Though Lisa hates the idea, I'm toying with making the other one pedal-power. I dont think it would be a bad thing to have around...but I like making goofy things.hahahaChris Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316348514638693721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336380963566807080.post-79132310340002409412009-05-28T21:14:15.211-04:002009-05-28T21:14:15.211-04:00My darling, you are right.

I should have pointed out that we were in the middle of spring cleaning and the yard did look messy. <br /><br />Chris, your blog is pretty cool too! Actually your post about your stove partially inspired this one.<br /><br />Cedar, glad you enjoyed the post. I wouldn't expect her to boil the clothes. Really I didn't expect her to start doing the laundry by hand. I am however glad she enjoys doing it that way. For one thing our clothes seem alot cleaner. For another that front load machine seemed to turn our clothes into cardboard. They are much more comfortable to wear now. I also suspect they will be lasting quite a bit longer.woodsrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109845761879199895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336380963566807080.post-68250002084366588812009-05-08T08:49:00.000-04:002009-05-08T08:49:00.000-04:00Enjoyed both your blog post and Pelenaka's comment...Enjoyed both your blog post and Pelenaka's comment...Cedar ...https://www.blogger.com/profile/18179231224253338673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336380963566807080.post-85482426136409622212009-05-08T07:56:00.000-04:002009-05-08T07:56:00.000-04:00Love your blog!

Over the years here I've had something outside to cook on all the time, whether it was a charcoal grill, or something I tossed together from some cinder blocks. Last year I made an outdoor stove from an old woodburning furnace, and we use it contantly. (there are pics of it on my blog) We cook on it, can on it, and last fall made 2 giant batches of applesauce on it. I get plently of free firewood from the orchard next door, and now all the neighbors bring me wood every time they do some trimming or take down a tree. There is nothing quite like a nice peice of grass fed steak over an applewood fire, mmmmm. My wife makes our bbq sauce too, wayyyy better than anything we can buy.<br /><br /> I actually like the idea of boiling clothes over a fire, lol. I'm in the process of restoring an old wringer washer so we can ditch the electric water hog, but I'm still on the lookout for a plain old hand crank wringer and washtub. I have 2 other electric wringer washers to go look at soon, both freebies. If all goes well,I'll have 2 complete ones from the parts of 3 combined. <br /><br /> I love the idea of using the old clawfoot tub outside. I have a friend who did something similar with a big galvanized watering trough he got from a barn sale.Chris Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316348514638693721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336380963566807080.post-64445652952856859232009-05-07T21:53:00.000-04:002009-05-07T21:53:00.000-04:00Just a few points I'd like to make -
