    All the noise (pun intended) I have heard has been solely about the hige commercial jobs. I don’t think a small private mill would create a problem.

    I have seen models that use a vertical cylinder instead of vanes. That might solve any issues.

    If you’re talking about the weeds in your pasture, rotational grazing so the horses don’t eat the grass down to short and mowing it to keep the weeds from going to seed will work, but it will take time.

    I also have a husband who is not well, I have a used wheelchair stashed away, as he’s a big guy and pushing is easier than carrying 😄

    I keep all nonperishables in an outbuilding.one whole wall is just paper products, I’m just saying.

    Here in NE Florida the heat and a high water table make in ground storage hard, but do have a couple of barrels in the barn covered with sand, seems to work okay.

    I’m nearing 66 and my husband is 78 with COPD, so most of the chores fall to me, but hey that’s just life and you just keep moving ahead and thanling God for every day.

    Can’t remember the passage, but “be wise as serpents and harmless as doves” comes to mind.

    My husband has early alzheimer’s, but still likes to tinker with lawn mowers etc

    I have learned to take lots of pictures when he is disassembling anything!😁
