    It took us quite a few years to save up for this, it's been a longtime dream.

    And another good time is when someone's hankering for a slice of that great looking pizza, but alas, no wood to fire it. Welcome Valleyman from your New England neighbor to the north, there has been quite a few folks from around these parts joining lately. Look forward to meeting you someday, maybe over a..........slice of pizza.:drool: :rofl: :lol: :handshake:

    Thank you. Good to meet you. I am a Pats fan! But in CT you never know; there are tons of Giants fans.

    Everything here is always budget. :thumbs: We built a hydraulic ram pump following internet instructions for a third world country. Works great and we can wait with drilling a well.
    It'll be great when you get it all done.

    I made it out of an antique Speed Queen wringer washer from the 1950s. They had stainless tubs in them the one year of production.

    We TIG welded a stainless patch over the agitator hole in the bottom, it works great. Cook corn in that kettle all the time during summer too!

    Yes, I know I'm an old timer now. However, the next young git who calls me "my Dear" will go home with a black eye :pain:.
    What i really meant is that i enjoy a lot of things my grandmother used to do and taught me. Also a lot of the things that"ladies" (something i was supposed to grow up into :whistle:) wouldn't think of doing.
    It's only been a year since I climbed up a tree so I could get a better view.
    Cooking over outdoor fires is great but i can't find the right equipment. It's all too small and flimsy and can't handle the heat. I've been looking for a big grill that can be put over rocks without ending up warped.

    I made all my firepit grills as well, Lucy. For the exact same reason.

    Always nice to see another New Englander filling out the roster. Welcome.

    Sure, would love to share. NH- freakin love your state. Climbed several of the 4000 footers back in the day. More recently, I became aquainted with Ben, owner of Bens Maple Syrup.
