Well, we’d showed you our hog pen we built earlier, and we feel it turned out nice. It’s located in a good spot with plenty of shade for the hotter months, and is a well built, sturdy pen. But, we found a flaw. Maybe flaw isn’t the right word, as our old setup worked, but this new system will definitely work out better for us. What changed our mind? A friend from Youtube sent us over a diagram of a trap he’d built. After looking over his plan, then comparing it to our layout, it was obvious that his setup would be much more efficient. So…we made the switch! If you’d watched the earlier videos we’d put up while building the pen, you saw our old trapdoor setup. It swung from hinges and opened up, and out. It closed fine, but we couldn’t figure a way for it to latch itself somehow when the pigs sprang the trap.
So we got to wondering if whether or not the pigs might be able to “jimmy” the door open enough to escape once they’d been caught. Our setup got to lookin’ pretty iffy once we saw the other system. It too is simple, easy to build, but it has little to no chance of allowing escape. But you know what else this new door shows us all? The power of people, the importance of sharing knowledge, and the role these simple things play in helping out in our day to day lives. This is just one example of comparing, and sharing ideas with each other, and through this…we ended up with a better door system than we had originally. This is what our website is about…and our videos that are put up on Youtube. People read about, or watch the videos, and learn new ideas, shared through the knowledge of others. This is what it is all about. I know since Deb and I started this site, through the goodness and guidance of Judi and Brian, and the Canada Free Press, this was the main reason for doing so…helping others. More plus videos...

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
