We already have many of the appliances that we need, but the bank insists that we purchase new appliances, whether via our mortgage or out of pocket. They will not give us a loan unless we do so.<br /><br />We pride ourselves on the amount of reducing, reusing, and recycling that we do in life, and that very much extends to our house. It hadn't occurred to us that the bank might be a limiting factor in that respect.Waldo Jaquithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11151182667852438647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525812320590591047.post-72986870816125248922009-08-04T19:56:48.519-07:002009-08-04T19:56:48.519-07:00Thank you for this great post!

We are so lucky to live in a community with so many wonderful food sources and initiatives.<br /><br />My husband and I try to eat as locally as possible, growing food in our own 20x20 garden and visiting the farmers at the market every weekend. It is such a rewarding experience...there is nothing like sitting down to dinner and being able to name the origin of every ingredient on your plate.<br /><br />I write about our experiences in our kitchen at www.bellaeats.com. Please visit for recipe ideas using local, seasonal ingredients!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14426312288887320987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525812320590591047.post-6967117056850016242009-07-31T13:56:28.347-07:002009-07-31T13:56:28.347-07:00What a neat and thrifty way to save dollars and ra...What a neat and thrifty way to save dollars and rain water! Congratulations and the pictures are great!<br /> Remember, rainwater is only as clean as the gutters & downspouts are that are used for rainwater harvesting.<br /> May I invite you to come along and visit with me at http://www.GutterClutterBuster.com to see our newly invented, American Made, gutter cleaning tool that lets you vacuum out your rain gutters while you stay firmly on the ground. <br /> You save time, energy, and money twice. Once, by the time and energy you save while using our the Gutter Clutter Buster and the second, when you can collect cleaner water, faster and more freely from gutters that are not clogged or contaminated from decaying debris, mosquitoes breeding that carry West Nile Virus, along with those other “nasty bugs” (roaches) that carry 33 different infectious diseases.<br /> It is our desire that you all. . .Stay Well, Stay Safe, and God Bless America.
