    The playground is done! And yes we like curtains

    Finally have the cargo roof secure and it seems to be holding up great. We used 4 wire going across to hold the cargo net up. I was able to wedge a beach umbrella for extra shade! Playground is enclosed in 1/4inch hardware cloth. And the bottom pic is 2024 Miss November Biggie 🤣

    Question: would 1/4 cup bacon grease be a bad idea to add to a cooked flock block or stick to coconut oil/molasses?

    1/4cup bacon grease a bad idea to add to a cooked flock block in your opinion? I usually use coconut oil. I would add the 1/4cup bacon grease to about 5 cups of dry ingredients. Thanks, just curious cause i was about to throw it away. 🐓❤️
