Sometimes you have to spend money to save money

[Alan W.]

He isn't around much anymore, but TBN member TnAndy has built the life which many of us dream of. He raises and slaughters his own meat, cans extensively, and lives a very independent lifestyle.

I was wondering what happened to TnAndy.
Anybody know?

He was last seen January 16. I checked before I posted. Another member who is MIA is RickB. He was a wealth of information, I made it a point to read any thread which he had posted in.

Either you're young or you didn't read the original post.

"MrsKilroyJC has decided we need to get some chickens."

You are a very perceptive person.

We lost TnAndy due to a chronic lung issue, he was like a father, brother, and best friend rolled into one for me. He was my high school Building Trades teacher and we remained close for the last 40 years. We all lost a vast array of knowledge when he passed away, not mention a loyal friend.

Rest in peace TnAndy

Spending to save sounds like my wife. "hun, guess how much money I saved today!"

Chicken food is too expensive for me to get eggs for less than the grocery store charges. On the other hand, it's teaching my 11 year old responsibility.

I'm saddened to read this. I found TnAndy to be the ultimate Homesteader with a ton of great projects under his belt. The last thing I remember him talking about was his new shop build, and how he was going to run pipe under the building to exhaust his sawdust. I was really looking forward to him posting pictures of that build.

Rest in Peace

Yes he has been and will be missed. Thanks for telling us.

I've been wondering about him also. I really enjoyed reading his posts.
Thank you for letting us know.

Dang! I grapple with the same dilemma nearly every day.
I've got over 20 18 foot hemlock saw logs racked up, and need to put walls on the car park and rebuild a wood shed.

There are plenty of mills around, I just need to buy a trailer. l
