Title: ESSENTIAL KIT
Post by: tizaala on September 21, 2011, 03:49:32 pm

Just thought that I would post some photos of what I consider essential bits of kit for our lifestyle.
The milking parlour x slaughterhouse ,off freecycle  used to be a sub-station for a closed down school. made from fibreglass and on skids so no planning was needed. my 70 year old milking machine still going strong. a winch from Aldi that will lift 250killo. bandsaw for cutting through bones  , again from Aldi. sausage mincer £20 from our local auction . home made milking stand.
