yes, your husband did an amazing job judging by the pics. my husband cannot drive a nail, also wants no part of homesteading. i wasn't raised on a farm but as u well know,there are tons of wonderful internet sites(along with your's) & magazines, books of info to make learning possible. my husband is allergic to bees but after much conversation,i was able to set one up last spring. by the fall it was so heavy it was impossible for me to move. they got to keep all their honey to eat over their first winter here & im just praying they can make a go of it. i desperately want a source for milk but hv read so many horror stories about worms, tearing through fences that im afraid to take them on. wish i had room for Dexter cattle. anyway,enjoying ur site that i found today...oh, i checked out Benson Bees & they hv gone out of business.
