Bought anything interesting lately?
« on: June 26, 2025, 10:31:18 AM »
My latest doll purchase, $30 including shipping, after using gift cards. I think she was made to be a Shirley Temple competitor, with an all-composition construction and the dimples. I'm planning to practice restoration on her, cleaning her up and re-stringing her. Til I get around to that, I'll enjoy her as is.

If you restore her you should post an update! 

The most recent interesting thing we’ve bought are the supplies for vermicomposting. We bought it a couple months ago and it’s been making some excellent food for our garden plants. The worms have multiplied as well! It’s been a fun and interesting new project.

I just bought a transfer box for my house's electricity.  That way, when the SHTF, I can plug in my solar generator and still have power through the wiring that's already in the house.

Well, she doesn't need restringing after all. Her stringing is still fairly good, so it's not worth redoing. Now I just have to wait to order the cleaner.

Not a bad idea.  I have a propane / gas generator, and some solar ... but a transfer switch might be useful, although I think I have such limited generation capacity at this point that a transfer switch might be overkill.
