I was nominated by @aunt-deb for the challenge this week.
Here are the instructions fro the Ragtag Do-It-Yourself Challenge.
Choose 3 items each from the Resources and Tools lists.
Explain how you built your virtual project.
Pass the challenge along to someone else so we can swap as many ideas as possible. Who knows, they just may have the solution you need to a pesky problem or a suggestion that fits your situation like a glove!
Use #diyragtag so we can find your post.
The Challenge is on until Saturday.
ELEVENTH WEEK'S AVAILABLE RAGTAG RESOURCES
Pick Three
- Four 50" x 16' Cattle Panels
- Eight 5' T-posts
- Sixteen 8' Lengths of 1" Electrical Conduit
- One Roll 6 mil Plastic Sheeting
TOOLS
Pick Three
- Hammer ~ Saw ~ Drill ~ Shovel ~ Cart ~ Knife ~ Wedge
- Tin Snips ~ Rake ~ Post Hole Digger - T-Post Driver
- Your choice on power or hand tools. Fasteners are freebies.
Here's my project Hot House
I'd pick the Tposts, Conduit and plastic sheeting
and use them with the T-post driver, knife and cart to carry it all.
I would build a little hot house by putting the tposts in two rows of 4. The rows would be 8 ft apart and the posts about 4ft from each other in line. I would then attach each piece of conduit to another piece to make them 16' long. Next attach the end of a conduit to the top of a Tpost and the other end to the Tpost in the adjoining row. I'd do this on all the tposts to give me an 8'x16' frame with curved conduit roof to attach the plastic sheeting. Take the rest of the sheeting to go around the outside of the hot house connecting to the tposts. I'd use the knife to cut the sheeting and give me a bit of a door. Then plant flowers in my card or use it to haul some dirt to the hot house :)
I'm nominating @goldenoakfarm to take on the
Ragtag Do-It-Yourself Weekly Challenge!
I am wondering why I never saw the nomination to this challenge? I just came across your account because Kimberly but you in her most recent post, perhaps a comment. I've found your posts fascinating and have been reading them from the start. That's how I found this. I expect it's too late to participate now...Sigh...

I've missed a few ones like this too. It's easy to do. It's funny, When Kimberly joined, I told her about you and said that you were someone she should follow as you two would likely hit it off. I had been checking out your posts for a while. We always learn something from you. Thanks!

So there's no notification system when someone tags you for a contest?

You can use the Ginabot. Have you heard of it? I just set it up to notify my when my name is mentioned. If you aren't familiar, here's a good post on it... https://steemit.com/ginabot/@ilyastarar/how-to-use-ginabot-and-get-steemit-seamless-notifications-for-free

Oh, geez! I've been to discord a couple times and am totally intimidated by it! Hard to read, hard to find things I'm supposed to find, etc. I get frustrated and just leave...
Maybe next time I'm feeling brave I'll try again...

Yeah, I understand. It's intimidating. I haven't gotten Kimberly on there yet either. However, it's much simpler than it looks and to setup the ginabot, you only have to go there once.

So, if I succeed in setting it up, the notifications come thro on Steemit, not discord?? I might survive doing it once... :))

It will be separate from steemit. I use a laptop and a smartphone and have it setup on both. Which ever device you install the discord app on, you will get notifications on it. You don't have to be on steemit or even have the browser open to get your notifications.
