How to Build a Hoop House Greenhouse for $50 - Off Grid World
This is what my son built last spring. He had always wanted a greenhouse , but did not like the cost to buy one. He built a very big one and it worked so well that he was able to set up each weekend at a local farmer's market. Now , I am wanting one. My actual garden did not do very well this summer. Maybe if I have a greenhouse I can grow them better and keep them watered. The drought we had this summer was awful.
1 1/2 pounds chicken breast
1 to 2 cups of pepper onion blend
1 package of ranch seasoning
1 cup white rice
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup shredded Colby jack cheese
Cut the chicken into 1 inch pieces.
Saute in a large skillet With a bit of oil.
When chicken is mostly done add the pepper onion blend and continue to cook until vegetables are tender.
Sprinkle the ranch over the chicken mixture and then add the broth and rice.
Stir well and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and cover.
Let simmer for about 15 - 20 minutes.
Until the rice is done.
Add the shredded cheese and stir to melt.
Serve with steamed broccoli.

Planning for stuff in off season can save you some money. I always buy in off seasons. Like buy AC in the winter , heaters in the middle of summer and so on. My son is already planning his summer camping trip with his brother. They learned a lot last summer. Last summer it rained the whole time so they are planning for that!
He camps at home in the backyard a lot , too. Putting the tent up on the trampoline was his idea and he had so much fun. But they can't take the trampoline with them to Tennessee! They are trying to come up with an easy portable way to get tent directly off the ground. A bigger tarp to cover the tent with. I am making them get a canopy to cover the picnic table up for keeping food and sitting at least a bit dryer in case it rains as much as it has in the past. They will be there for 2 weeks. If they have less to worry about than hopefully they will have more fun.
How To Convert A Shed Into An Off Grid Cottage
I have a shed in my back yard that I bought a few years ago that I am planning on redoing half of it into an off-grid bathroom. I already have everything. Just am needing to organize the shed and plan out the "room" that I will build for it. When I bought the shed I only had them put one window in it, So would most likely build around that for the bathroom.
These photos were taken right after it was delivered a few years ago. I wish it was still this clean.
