Popular Post Dirtyhip Posted February 17, 2020 Popular Post Share #1 Posted February 17, 2020 Kinda excited. We bought a new couch. This was not a used couch on Craigslist or a couch from a garage sale. A brand new couch that we can dirty up ourselves. We had a recliner that we got for free. It served us for ten years. Put that on the curb last week and it was hauled away by someone. We also had a used leather chair in an ugly green. We used that chair for about 10 years too. Put it on the curb yesterday, for free, and it went away. The gal that picked it up told us it was a piece that matches her couch exactly. Same color and style. It was horrible green/blue 80's color. Our new couch is brown. It has two recliners. Got it for $500. One furniture guy said it was not the best mechanisms, Ashley furniture. We can't afford enormously expensive furniture. One of the couches was 5 grand. Leather and electric controls. Nope. I am so grateful for finding a deal and having a new piece of furniture. It is very comfy. 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted February 17, 2020 Share #3 Posted February 17, 2020 How is your soap making coming? I’m still using the first bar of Goat soap that I got for Christmas. That stuff lasts forever. I sometimes use body wash when I want to smell pretty, the goat soap doesn’t have much smell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's coming along well. Stoked that I found all my soap making pots and infrastructure for less than $20 (including chemical goggles) Learning a ton. There are different types of lye too. So much to explore and try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there's the whole smell vs. stink argument as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted February 17, 2020 I am wondering how John can make a bar of soap last that long. Is he showering daily? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I actually use three different soaps Zest, Old Spice body wash and the Beekman goat milk soap. The Beekman bar is huge to start with and doesn’t get soft. Which soap I use depends on my mood. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what makes that such a firm soap. Hand milling creates a harder bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never done this on a couch. Ever. I am not normally someone who naps. I'm more likely to just go to bed at 7. When I really feel that I need a nap, I have always just gone to my bed.

And if you question the mechanical aspects of the recliners, there are people that can fix those things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes me a few seconds to fall asleep and I sleep for about 7-8 hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
