I prefer one that could hold a mattress about 16in up (with or without board under, i can get a board separate). Do you have a suggestion for one that won't Creek? The reviews for the ones I've found say many have thin metal or the joints with screws aren't well done and they warp or creek so I'm not sure what to look at

We just tried getting an IKEA mattress and it was NOTHING like the one in store. IKEA is great for furniture I'm ok with my toddler smearing banana on though

I don't think my spouse toddler and self will all fit into a twin xl lol

 

Looking for a bed frame with wooden slats ontop that doesn't squeak, 16in tall. Everything seems shorter or poorly made

Shit. I did it wrong. I married someone with way less than me. Although my job doesn't pay well because I also choose that based on enjoyment..

I started aging it after the initial post, thank you for your insight though!

We are spending our money, after taxes, on things taxes should be paying for, so we are paying twice? No, because the things our taxes are being paid for are oligarchs to be richer. Why were we still paying taxes if they aren't primarily benefitting the population? We don't have a government for the people by the people. We have propaganda keeping oligarchs in power of a corporatocracy.

Where are you?

Yes, but that's not the reason why

 

I have chickens, who create quite a bit of poop I can use to grow mushrooms, but I'm not sure how to pasteurize/sanitize it. I was thinking pressure cooker?

I ordered some spore syringes and I'm not sure if i should get premade bags with injection ports or if I should make my own bags. It's the same cost to buy bags and a used instant pot, and I already have coco coir. Once I get some mushroom colonies going I was planning on keeping it going by breaking it up and mixing it with fresh substrate, but I don't want to keep buying pasteurized manure.

How do people do this? I'm very new

 

I have a lot of dry clay I have saved to reuse. Most of it is in smaller pieces, I'm working my way to making it into powder. I'm thinking of getting a rock tumbler to make small batches of powder since most of the pieces are pretty small anyway.

Currently, i put the powder and sometimes granules into a bucket and pour white vinegar and very hot water over it, sometimes mixing immediately sometimes waiting for it to cool. I always let it rehydrate for at least a few days before drying on a plaster board.

Currently I mix the clay by folding and flattening, as this is easier than wedging for me. I'll wedge smaller pieces, but for these larger ones I'll pop the air bubbles and smooth it out. So far it's been ok but I'll sometimes have a bubble I missed until I am nearly done shaping on the wheel.

Does anyone have suggestions for how to decrease the air bubbles trapped from rehydrating? Would a vibrating paint mixer work?
