MC`s Forest Adventure

markscastle · Aug 10, 2016

thinking of buying a storage shed and having someone move my stuff up here. It` would cost but would pay it`s self off in time and I`d have one less bill to pay each month. Don`t really want to spend my time and resources like that right now but have no choice. Maybe I can recoup some of it in a law suit? Anyway I`ve spent a bundle for storage over the last 6-7 years, more than my belongings are worth , so this has to stop anyway. I lost my home almost 7 years ago and everything I owned is in that storage unit still. enough to fill a three bedroom home. I have $10 grand into storage over the years.

Do it MC, those buildings are easy as shit to put up once you have the concrete slab. My uncle has a business traveling around New England putting those up and repairing them. I have worked several of those jobs .... A solid screw gun and a chop saw with a metal cutting blade, tape measure and level.... That's all you need

yeah, I'd build a big shed or something.
10k for storage is a killer.

Problem is time and money. No way around ether. I will most likely buy a ready made with wood floor so it can be moved. I`m still waiting to here back from the popo and an attorney. everything is so dam slow and the clock is ticking. I don`t know yet if they are going to take the lock off when they send out a 10 day eviction or just try to keep my stuff. I have bolt cutters as long as they don`t change the gate code and I can get in. I won`t do that though until I have the eviction papers as well as the receipt in hand. May go by and check the mail for the papers then check to see if the lock is still on, if so will drive by the popo and see if anything has been done on there end yet. at this point they have had a message and haven`t got back to me.

Oh did manage to get something done today, got about half the plants tied up now.

I decided to check the mail to see if the eviction papers came. Nope , but I got my seed order from the farm , Thanks Logic ! I might add VERY FAST delivery ! I`m impressed ,even got some free seeds !

The popo won`t be on duty until late this afternoon to talk to about my storage problem, got a call from an attorney and they are going to review the law on storage units in Cali, they took a statement and did some fact finding and will get back to me. I`ll check again today to see if I got an eviction letter mailed to me.

I`ll do my chores and do some more tying up of plants today, may also work on a couple things with the RV if I get time. Really need to get the storage thing out of the way one way or an other and get back into what I`m doing. soon as the plants are tied and have some recovery time I`ll take some more pics and post em ! They are still in veg but there have been a few inter fan leave turning yellow so they may not be that far off from flowering. Now`s the time to build as many bud sites as possible while still in veg ! I should fetch water for the mix tank and make more tea that`s high in Nitrogen.

No one got back to me about the storage and I didn`t receive storage eviction papers...yet. I was by the phone all day. Didn`t do much today but the daily chores. I wasn`t feeling well but feeling better now. Back to tying up the ladies in the morning. Going to get an early start after I accomplish something I`ll go for some water at the spring. I`m also concerned about my daughter who is having health problems and is expecting. Alot going on in my head and it takes a toll on the old body.

Laptop is messed up, running very slow. Got two sides re paneled on the office trailer. Tied all the plants and sprayed them down. Also making a new batch of tea .

Left my Generator on all night so I could keep my bubbler running on my tea. Put an extra load of live bacteria in the tea to feed the roots on this one. Going to try to get the most from this one because they should be starting into flower soon. This maybe the last batch of tea with high nitrogen in the mix. I`ll still have a higher nitrogen in the mix but will slowly move to a flower mix as the plants go into flower. More phosphorous and potash will be used gradually in the next batches. I`m farming for more bud sights at this point. Yep the laptop is running slow but not the net over the cell phone. Not sure what my laptop is doing but it seems to be running a lot of data in the background. Some of it maybe that it is downloading updates in the background all of the time? When that happens it slows way down.

Had my daughter and son-n-law working all weekend on the office trailer. they got two sides covered in new siding and stained. I watched my grandson but was able to tie up the rest of the plants and spray them down with neem oil as well as making a batch of tea and have the water mostly caught up. I may need to fill my fresh water tank for the RV back up with one run to the spring later tonight. Between showers, dishes and the veggie garden I`m down to half a tank of the fresh water for the RV. will be taking pics of the ladies soon. there a little ruffled from tying them up right now but you will be able to see the progress they have made anyway. I tied up just the main branches for now but as they go into flower I`ll need to tie up secondary branches to keep them from breaking under the weight. The stakes on some of them are a little short so many of the tops don`t have good enough support for flowering yet. They are growing more bushy this time around and are loving the extra room between plants but are still growing way out into the walking area again this year. Also need to tie some of the tops over to keep them off the plastic on the sides. Really need a taller greenhouse or at least taller sides. Should have designed them with taller side in the first place.

Dam fell asleep with the generator and Ac going. Thought it was morning and I could start getting work done! Chickens haven't got nothing on me ! I'm up well before the chickens .

markscastle · Aug 16, 2016

Turned off the generator and took advantage of the down time to change the oil. Can't see well enogh in the dark to do much but going to get an early start on things when the sun comes up. Good time to take pictures of the garden is in the morning light. Can't see the screen on my camera later in the afternoons.
