We continue to prep for old age here on our homestead in Texas. These coffin vaults will do just fine for raised beds. We gather the fill materials from our property to keep the cost down. We paid $50 for both vaults.
The homemade hickory charcoal is ground down using rocks in a RED LION cement mixer. The fill materials are also mixed in the cement mixer along with tumbling rocks to bust up the woodland humus. We layered in BIOCHAR in the fill material. We plan to plant after last frost and will definitely have peppers in the raised beds.

We had a stand that was just about gone, so we refurbished it, lifted it and decorated it. The stand is on a remote part of our property so we built a garage to park the four wheeler in when its raining. Inspired by my grandfather's duck hunting adventures.

For entertainment use only. Ignition coil outputs 20-40kV. Sperry contactless meter rated to 600V. The electromagnetic field reaches more than 12" from insulated secondary wire. The input to the coil is 24V but it is intermittent so a digital VOM will not accurately measure.
The motor runs off of wellhead gas.
Lots of ranch activities today! We buzzsaw some firewood and charcoal the chunks. Plant some pole beans, and go back to the sawmill where we find a misalignment problem. This discovery of a sawmill problem shuts down the sawmill.
We are building a greenhouse and will move it to location in 4 lifts. This is the lifting eye connection to walls.
The church pecan trunk was over 30" so Doc & I went in halves on Jesper Moreau's Norwood HD36 bandmill.
Had some free help at the sawmill milling cracked up pecan taken down by an excavator. The ex-pilot runs the mill and a local builder offloads the boards. Sent the flitches to the buzzsaw for smoking operations.

We have small ranch in Texas where we grow trees and vegetables. We also use a tractor, charcoal forge, charcoal retort, and a antique sawmill. Our videos show how we do different projects on a farm.
