A Tutorial:

How to create shadows for TS2 cc objects

You’ll need SimPe, 3D software like Milkshape or Blender 2.79b and 2D software like Photoshop or Gimp.  

First part is easy. I’ve described my process of creating a texture for TS2 cc object that already has a working shadow subset.

Second / more advanced part is not exactly a step-by step tut, but it contains various tips and explains what resources are required to create a shadow subset.

Full tutorial under the cut:

Note:

if you are reading this on my Tumblr, and you can’t enlarge pictures, try to right-click on a pic and “open in a new tab”. Or you can enlarge the page in your internet browser  [Ctrl] + [+]

First part of this tut is for objects that have all the required shadow resources, OR the only thing missing is the shadow model in GMDC.

* If your object already has a shadow and you are sure that UV-mapping is not off, you can import it instead of creating a new one.

1.

When exporting the models as .obj in SimPe, you need to tick the box next to shadow model, if you’d like to export it as well (SimPe will only export ticked models !) Then click Export... button. 

Furniture clones have one groundshadow, and three or four vertical shadows - if that’s the case, I recommend you delete all shadows and create a new groundshadow plane. 

Oversized shadow models are the cause of sh*tty thumbnails. If some objects in your Decor catalogue are so tiny you can barely see them, here’s why.

Remember to move the shadow plane up a bit, so it’s very slightly above the ground level.

Make sure you can see your object in wireframe view. Display options for Milkshape can be accessed by right-clicking inside viewport window.

When creating a plane, drag the mouse starting from top left corner, so UV’s are not rotated.

Rename your plane: “shadow“ or “groundshadow” etc, so SimPe auto-adjusts settings for it on import.

Blender 2.79b: Use Plane button, located in “Create” Tab. Remember to tick the “Create UVs” option before you create the shape. Switch to top view by pressing 7 on the num pad, press 5 to enable isometric view.

2., 3., 4.,

Now you can use this as an imprint for shadow. Remember to leave a tiny margin of 100% white around it!

5.

Gaussian Blur comes in handy ;)

You can (and it’s best that you DO) test your texture while you’re working on it.

Texture preview in Milkshape

Double-click the shadow plane in the Model tab. Go to Materials tab, click New button, then Assign. Click on the elongated button that says <None> (there are two of those, click the upper one) and load your texture. You can reload the texture by going to Edit menu, and Refresh textures.

If shadow looks off, you might need to rotate the plane 180* (or UVs, if you know how). 

 Blender 2.79b: I’ve described the quickest way to preview texture HERE.

6.

Note1: you don’t have to save the image as PNG just to preview it, Milkshape (and Blender ofc) can read PSD files.

Note2: obviously, if you didn’t create your own shadow plane, and the one you have inside GMDC works fine, you don’t need to export it.

7., 8.

As I mentioned in the next pic, your .png has to be the same size as the shadow TXTR you’d like to replace. If you wish to change the shadow texture size, that’s described in the second part of this tut. Check out the pic 5 below.

9. Open SimPe and import new texture.

If you don’t “update all sizes” you’ll get funky effects in the game, shadows might change the shape or disappear when you zoom out.

Finished! Or almost finished.

If you’ve created your own shadow model (or edited the old one) there’s one more thing you need to do.

10. Import the shadow model into GMDC. If you don’t know how, look at the pic 1 below.

After you test the shadow in the game, and it’s too dark or not dark enough, you might want to edit the shadow intensity in SimPe - that’s super easy. Look at pic 3 below, in the second part of this tut.

Shadow tutorial, Part 2:

What to do if shadow resources are missing

Not a beginner level stuff, but if you are resourceful, have a go at it.

Shadow, as any other subset, requires a few resources to work properly: Model in the GMDC and shadow TXMT settings that point to the right texture. It’s also essential to link shadow subset (model name) to a TXMT through SHPE.

If a TXTR or TXMT resource is missing, you need to add it. You have 3 options:

link your model to TXMT resource from another package through SHPE. Useful if you do repo objects that are all the same shape, only different sizes.

clone existing non-shadow resources and customize them

add shadow resources extracted from another package and edit the CRES name part

And it’s a good practice to add shadow name to tsNoShadow in the GMND, so it doesn’t cast shadows when outdoors. But that’s optional.

1. & 2.

GMDC - How to import new .obj model, or replace the existing model.

GMND - How to fix square outdoor shadows.

Note: it’s not always stuff named “grounshadow” and such, that is the cause of square outdoor shadows. It could be something different, like lightpattern. You can preview subsets inside GMDC to check which one could be the culprit, then add missing subset name to GMND / tsNoShadow Items list. 

If you don’t know how to add new item to GMND blocklist - tutorials on repository technique for object add-ons etc always cover that bit.

Mesh Group Importer settings

When you click “Import..” button in GMDC and load .obj file, Mesh Group Importer window pops up. If you’ve never seen it before, take some time to explore the import options - Opacity, and Action both have drop down menus.

Changing Opacity to Shadow is a purely cosmetic effect. But if you keep it Opaque, shadow in the game will be highlighted when somebody moves design tool over the object ! 

Action menu options are pretty self-explanatory. If you’d like to replace existing model, set it to Replace. Then open drop-down menu in the bracket below and pick the right subset.

To change the name of the model after it’s been imported, go to Groups tab in GMDC, click on the shadow and edit the Name: field. Commit the changes and save.

3. & 4.

TXMT - How to edit shadow intensity through TXMT settings

SHPE - adding resources

To correct shadow brightness, open Categorized Properties Tab in the shadow TXMT and look for the line “stdMatAlphaMultiplier”. If it’s set to 1.000000, shadow’s usually pretty dark. To make it softer, you need to lower this number. 0.650000 is a good starting point.

If you add the entire TXMT shadow resource extracted from another package (not to be mixed with importing TXMT properties, it’s a different thing) you need to edit the name twice - in Filename field, and cMaterialDefinition tab.

If shadow looks like a solid object in the game that means it is linked to TXMT with wrong properties (shadows require specific TXMT properties) or texture that is not ExtRaw8Bit format.

Instead of trying to edit the TXMT properties, you can import the shadow properties from another package. If you don’t know how to do that, HERE is a little tutorial

TIP: the game only displays groundshadows for certain objects when placed indoors, and southwall shadows (wall shadows) only when all walls are up. If you change shadow subset name (in GMDC and SHPE), shadow will always be visible indoors, and outside (custom shadow names).

Remember, it’s essential you always do fix TGI after editing txmt or txtr name. But in case of adding or editing the SHPE parts (listed subsets) - don’t bother, because fix TGI doesn’t matter here. Stuff should work as long as you get all the names right and commit the changes.

Some old tutorials might tell you to FIX INTEGRITY after editing TXTR, SHPE, GMDC, TXMT. Don’t do it - it’s not required, and it can even break objects.

5.

TXTR - How to change format / size

Note1: For a 64 x 128 pic shadow txtr (vertical), or 128 x 64 (horizontal) use MipMap Level 8.    

Note2: obviously you need to select TXTR resource to fix TGI for it.

It’s not required for shadow texture to have “shadow_txtr” suffix, it could be “groundshadow_txtr” of anything else.

If  you’ve created/added new TXTR, remember to update texture name in TXMT Properties and TXMT File List.

If you think you did everything right, but shadow is blue.. Well, something is NOT right ;) It could be wrong TXMT name or texture name.

Check your object with Scenegrapher. It looks quite complicated but if some resources are “orphaned” = not linked to anything, you’ll see it right away. Make sure you’ve run Fix TGI on edited TXMTs and TXTRs. It’s possible you have a typo somewhere. Start with screening the resource names for missing suffixes, like _txtr or _txmt. Then check the texture names - make sure you haven’t added a suffix somewhere where it’s not required.

sabrina @lanwangiji​, my love, tagged me to share my process of making this typography edit! check out her explanation of her the untamed edit and her edit tag. 

1. PLANNING

i once opened lyrics edit requests so i can learn and practice typography. this edit was a request as well. i asked them which lyrics they wanted to have and the colors they’d like. since i got several requests and it was hard to keep tabs on them, i made a trello board so i could organize everything. i’m still using the trello board for every edit idea i have, the board makes my life easier.

above is what i filled the card in the board with. basically just information of the requests.

1.1 INSPIRATION

once i got the request, my first thought was to find the vibe the song/lyrics exude. “it’s an old curse” screamed witchy vibes to me, so i went to pinterest to find some inspirations. at first i was looking for witchy poster designs and i came across this. i liked how it has smoke-ish graphic and i thought the smoke suited the “old curse” lyrics. and tbh pinterest is a rabbit hole, they gave me suggestions after suggestions, like this and this which became my inspiration for the color palette (i added the gold from those pics) and the sun moon design gave me the idea to incorporate space stuffs too. i somehow landed on this too, and because i wanted to include space theme, i made a simple phases of the moon. ultimately the hero of this edit was the lyrics, i didnt want the graphics took the center stage. i was inspired to make a crystal ball and do this kind of typography but after several trials i couldnt get the the typography right, so i scratched that idea and went with the space theme instead.

1.2 PICKING COLORS

after i was feeling inspired enough, i went looking for the right colors. i usually just type “color name” and “palette” on pinterest. example “dark grey color palette” and i chose the one i liked best. when the request only asked for 1 color, i always searched for either a complimentary or contrasting color to give it a jushz, to add sprinkles. that’s why i added gold on top of the dark grey. 

1.3 FINDING FONTS

this is the hardest part. the fonts play important role to the design. they need to convey the vibes of the lyrics, in this case witchy/magic vibe. i needed to find fonts or font just as magical and a bit whimsical. tho i hoard fonts... i like to use new font for every typography edit lmao sue me.

i highly recommend going to creativemarket free goods site, pixelsurplus font freebies and behance to search for fonts. i always use 100% free fonts, that means i can use it personally as well as commercially. creativemarket gives me desktop license for the fonts, which means i can use it for commercial as well. the reason i do this because i want to open an etsy shop someday, and i want to have the right license when i sell my stuffs. i almost never buy fonts bc they are expensive lmao. 

the fonts in used are “Vintage” for the main typograpy (i think i was a freebie from creativemarket) and “Morganite” for the title of the lyrics and the name of artist. 

2. CREATING

once i have my materials and ideas, i open my illustrator and hope it doesnt crash every 5 min.

for this kind of typography edits, i use 600x700 px. tbh i dont like using 540px, the suggested tumblr size, as the width bc to me it doesn’t look as good in quality, so i up the px. but more on this sizing later. i utilize the artboards function in illustrator, and i use 2 artboards.

i use illustrator (ai) bc i’m working with vectors. when i work with vectors, the graphics/texts or whatever im making in ai wont become blurry or lose its quality when i enlarge or shrink it. in compare to photoshop, i need to make for example the moon graphic very big, so i wont lose the quality when i reduce and enlarge it again. with vector, i can start small and when i expand it, it’s still as good as when it’s tiny. 

2.1 GRADIENTS

i started with the gradients first. i created a rectangle as big as 600x700px and with the “freeform gradient” tool in ai, i played with the colors. below is the color palettes i used

2.2 LYRICS AND GRAPHICS

once the gradients are done, i worked with the lyrics and graphics right away. when i first doing this edits, i made typos a lot lmaooooooo. so i copy and pasted the lyrics on top of my artboard, so i wouldnt have any typos. 

i had 3 layers in my ai. one for the inspo pics and the OG lyrics. the rest for the edits themselves. i broke up “It's an old curse/dreamers diving headfirst” into to parts, hence the 2 more layers

i almost always started with the lyrics first then the graphics. but for this edit, i made the smoke first so i can layout where my text would be.

tbh the process of making the lyrics is a trial and error. i tried bunch of different stuffs and i chose whatever the best. but i worked like methodically, i made sure i finished the first part of the lyrics first then i could move on.

i was lucky with this font “vintage”. the font offers me several glyphs like these

and i chose the one at the bottom. you’re very lucky if you find a font and they have glyphs.

excursion: glyphs vs fonts

glyph is an individual character. It might be a letter, an accented letter, a ligature, a punctuation mark, a dingbat, etc.

A font is a digital file which is used to display a typeface, which contains the entire upper- and lowercase alphabet as well as punctuation, numbers, and other special characters.

after i was finished with all the lyrics i added some graphics to make the edit pretty like small stars or dots. i added the song title and the artist too, sometimes at the bottom sometimes at the top. and i added my watermark put it as small as i could and made it a bit invisible but still can be seen.

2.3 EXPORTING

exporting! this is where i’m going to go deeper with the dimension of my work. in ai, i always choose to save with “export as screens” function. it automatically divides the artboards i have and save them separately. i always save as png, bc the size is smaller than jpg but can maintain the quality.

now the export tab looks like this

see the formats? i always scale up my edits, 2-3 times the original artboard size. reason is, to maintain the quality. i have tried to save it as original, 600x700 px, but it turned out a bit blurry. bc everything in ai is vector, when i scale up it doesnt lose the quality. BUT once i save it as png, it’s not a vector anymore, and when you zoom in until a certain degree it’ll be pixelated. that’s why i always scale up, to avoid it becoming pixelated when it’s just zoomed 1 or 2 times.

2.4 FINAL TOUCH

i opened my photoshop and also pray it won’t crash. import the png of my edits, add some grains/noise. the reason i use photoshop is, the noise filter is way better than in ai. it’s smoother somehow. and then i export my edits.

(i have a timelapse of how i made one of my edits, it’s not this one, but it’ll give you a better visualization. find it HERE

3. POSTING

now the hardest parts are done, we go to posting!

i uploaded the 2 posters on tumblr as photos then i wrote the captions. for this typography edit, i always chose another lyrics that i like from the same song for the caption. i bolded the lyrics, add link to all of my typography gradient edits.

i always use this link to color my caption. i usually choose 3-4 colors, and i took the colors from my edit. but this was not until recently lmao. before i just took a guess and looked for similar colors that match the edit, but then i thought “why didnt i just use the color in the posters lmao”

ok after i have my html code for the caption, i go to this site to replace the “;” with “ “ so tumblr can read the code.

i’m not one who puts their edits in draft, bc i just cant wait to post it. i have to option here, either i post it immediately when the time is right (i usually post between 4-8) or i schedule it, if im finished before 4. 

i put all the necessary tags and click post! i am done finally!

i’m tagging:

A ‘How I edit’ tutorial

I’ve been asked by a few people in Twitter to make a tutorial so I’m doing it here since it’s more comfortable :P 

I use Photoshop, so I don’t know if it’ll work the same way for other softwares, sorry! Also I use Okruee’s Technicolor reshade, which helps a lot and makes my life easier.

This is a before and after of the pic I’ll use as example, the tutorial is under the cut! 

Before.

After.

The pictures on text posts are pretty small so I’ll have all of them linked with better quality underneath each of them!

1. First things first, after opening the picture I want to use I enlarge it. Go to Image > Image size. I change the width from 1366 to 2366 using Bicubic Smoother. You can skip this step if you want, but I like my pictures to be bigger so more details can be seen! 

(See picture here)

2. Then I run Topaz Clean 3 (It’s an extension you have to install on your Photoshop. There are thousands of tutorials on google that will tell you how to dowload and install it!), I select the original layer, duplicate it and run Gaussian Blur on this new layer (Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur) with a radius of 6,6 pixels (but that’s just my own taste). Now I set this blurry layer to multiply and lower the opacity to 16%. I have an action to do all of this so Photoshop does it for me just by clicking a button, and I recommend you do the same!

Before (See picture here).

After (See picture here)

3. Duplicate your original layer (Layer 0) and now it’s time to make light adjustments! On the Adjustments tab click on Curves and drag the line. Play with the settings until you like the results! I like vibrant pictures, so that’s what I’m looking for.

(See picture here).

4. At this point I fix any imperfection or clipping the picture has (like Magnus’ hand in this example).

5. Now I start placing shadows. It’s pretty easy, just follow the shadows your picture already has and make them more noticeable!

I create a new layer on top of the second copy of the original layer (Layer 0 Copy 2), set it on multiply and start working there. I pick a brush with 0% hardness (sometimes I change the opacity of the brush too, depending on the level of detail) and eyedrop the skin color of the sim, and then I start drawing the shadows. At this point your sim will look like someone that is having a bad makeup day, but don’t worry, just keep adding those shadows!

(See picture here).

6. With the shadows layer selected I go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and adjust the radius until I like the result (15,5 pixels in this case), and if necessary I adjust the opacity of the shadows layer. I repeat this with skin, hair, clothes until I’m satisfied with the look of the shadows!

(See picture here).

7. For the highlights I do more or less the same but with white and setting the layer on Soft Light mode and then I use Gaussian Blur. I do this on the skin, hair and clothes if necessary until I’m satisfied with the look.

(See picture here).

(See picture here).

8. I play with the brightness, saturation, color and curves in the Adjustments tab until I like the general look and I’m done!

(See picture here).

9. I cut the picure if I want to and that’s basically all I do! It’s actually a pretty simple way of editing since my reshade (Okruee’s Technicolor) does most of it for me!

Hope it helps! If you have any question send me an ask or a message! ( ^^)

Clean UI FAQ

Thank you all for your feedback on Clean UI so far! In this post I want to collect all recurring questions or problems in regards to that mod.

Please make sure to have the newst version (1.4) installed!

Questions

@dandelionpaint​​ asked:

Does your Clean UI support other languages? The UI looks really great!

Yes, it supports all languages as it only makes changes to the user interface, and does not modify or require any language!

@haemel asked:

Would a widescreen UI work for a resolution size that is 1280x1024?

I think you’re referring to the CAS options as Clean UI itself works on all resolutions. Since you have a screen width of 1280px, you can choose the ‘cas-min-width-1280-additional-200px.package’ file! Please note it’s possible that CAS can still be stuck in default mode which is probably related to your graphics card (scroll down a bit for more info).

Anonymous asked:

After installing Clean UI, everything seems great but there are one missing, i don't have white text background like "There are no actions" when i click anything and it's only default, what did i missing add something or forgot to add it?, Thank you for your hard work for Clean UI.

It seems like you didn’t move the file ‘gckp-clean-ui-tooltip-graphic.package’ to the base game’s UI folder. For some strange reason, it just doesn’t work when its in the Downloads folder.

Anonymous asked:

hello !! first of all i wanna say thank you so much for clean ui, it’s amazing and i’ve been waiting for it for the longest time ever and can’t wait to keep playing with it from now on. i just have a problem,, i used to use the widescreen cas mod and i removed it because the original download post says that it’s included. i successfully installed everything but cas is back to blocking the sim as it was by default. i tried each and every package file separately and it hasn’t changed? :(

Did you remove both of Chris Hatch widescreen mods (one moves the control area, the other moves and enlarges it)? If so, it can be related to your graphics card (scroll down a bit for more info).

Anonymous asked:

Hi, was your clean ui mod supposed to change backgrounds in CAS or is it different mod shown on your pics? 

It’s just a CAS replacement that has nothing to do with Clean UI.

Anonymous asked:

Hey there! First of all thank you for all the great work with clean UI, it's so beautiful! I just wanted to ask if the blue loading screens (like when a sim goes from home to a community lot) are missing or I just didn't install the mod correctly :s 

It’s sadly not possible to edit these loading screens.

Anonymous asked:

Hi! I have a question about one of the recommended mods to go with Clean UI, the one that edits family loading screen text, it doesn't work for me for some reason. I'm installing it in my latest EP text folder and no changes. Does it work for you? Clean UI is amazing by the way, thank you so much, i can't believe that it's actually released!

So Clean UI and the family text mod shouldn’t conflict at all since Clean UI modifies the UI and the other mod just the text. So I think you would have to contact the creator of the mod. Anonymous asked:

Can I use sims 2 logo replacement mods with clean ui

If you use a widescreen loading screen, you can’t. It’s because these ‘loading screens’ take the Sims 2 image in the center, enlarge it and transform it to a loading screen overlay image. If you don’t use any loading screen, it will work (though the small image in the menus would conflict since it’s included in the Clean UI package).

Anonymous asked:

What is "gckp-clean-ui-tooltip-graphic package" for? It's not mentioned in the Installation instructions.

It’s the graphic that shows when you mover the mouse over an object. It’s now a rounded white rectangle instead of a yellow one.

@criminalmiik asked:

Hello! I wanted to inquire if the seasons icon in live mode still have the blue behind it or did I do something wrong? I followed the instructions. Thank you and I really love it! Makes the game look brand new! :)

It’s a sign that you’re using the colorful seasons mod. You don’t need that, Clean UI does it on its own and modifies the part of the live mode UI further on.

@neighborhoodcornerstore asked:

Can I use clean ui even if I run windows vista?

It doesn’t matter, Clean UI and any other mod will work on all operating systems!

Anonymous asked:

Hey, after we talk about white text background, so now it work fine, anyway other thing i found bug icon of all hobbies has blank black, is this bug known? if not, so try check it, thank you again.

@plumbobsandllamas asked:

Hey! I love your Clean UI mod, however I noticed a slight "glitch" that I'm not sure if you're aware of? If you hover over a hobby, the icons that display hobby activities are slightly offset and there's a black space in the UI. [...]

I just found out this is not a problem with Clean UI, but with a mod that changes the conversation icons and therefore also the hobby icons. It also appears that way without Clean UI sadly. So it’s nothing I can fix.

Problems

Anonymous asked:

Do we need to do something to activate the cas columns? I picked the 'cas-min-width-1280-additional-200x' package and the extra columns doesnt appear. My resolution is 1366

This is probably not related to Clean UI. With the help of friendly simmers, it seems that it’s rather due to your graphics card, because CAS always resets to the two column mode that was created for low resolutions. Please try to use Graphic Rules Maker so your game can detect your graphics card or increase the resolution if possible.

First Look and Review! Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes in Disneyland’s Downtown Disney District!

We’re at Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes, the newest eatery in the Disneyland Resort!

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes

Located in the Downtown Disney District (you’ll find it directly downstairs from the recently opened Ballast Point Brewery & Kitchen), the incredibly popular New York City-based restaurant has brought its signature burgers, CrazyShakes, and more to its first California location!

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes

We are so excited to be here! And, in fact, so are lots of other people…

Line Forming at Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes

… and we’re happy to bring you right on in with us!

Atmosphere

If you’re looking for a little taste of the Big Apple when you’re in Downtown Disney, look no further than Black Tap Craft Burgers and Shakes.

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes

The use of black which sets the tone is not overwhelming with the balance of light woods and contrasts in the street art stylings on the walls.

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes

And you’ll find pops of color in some of the art which brightens things up even more.

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes

When reading the menu (we’ll look through it in the next section), we noticed a note where Black Tap describes itself as “upscale but not fussed up,” which is a good description of the hip vibe.

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes

Now, we’re not digging in quite yet, but let’s talk CrazyShakes for just a minute. (Okay, we really can’t do that without at least giving a little sneak peek…)

CrazyShakes

Black Tap Craft owns the bragging rights as being the original home for over-the-top milkshakes. Those insane topped-with-everything shakes you’ll find at spots like Beaches & Cream and Planet Hollywood Observatory in Disney World?

Yeah, you’re looking at the inspiration for all of them right here at Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes! So before we start sipping our own, there are some features that are unique to the Downtown Disney Black Tap location, and two of them are in regards to CrazyShakes. First is the walk-up window outside entirely dedicated to to-go CrazyShakes!

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes

And back inside, there is also a bar where guests can see CrazyShakes as they are made.

CrazyShakes Bar

CrazyShakes Bar

The Downtown Disney location also has its own service-style in comparison to Black Tap Craft’s other locations… and, in fact, in comparison to most restaurants around Disneyland Resort. Called “enhanced fast-casual,” guests place their order at the counter, and then seat themselves.

Orders are delivered to the table. Now here’s where the unique feature comes in… let’s say you’d like, say, another CrazyShake, or an order of Fried Mozz.

Fried Mozz

Well, then, you can stay in your seat from this point and a Black Tap team member can help you out while you remain seated.

Of course, you have to decide what you’d like to order first…

Eats

Black Tap is known for their burgers and shakes, but there’s much more to the menu. (Click the image below to enlarge.)

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes Food Menu

Outside, we received a printed menu with item descriptions to help make some decisions while waiting in line. But if you walk right in, you’ll see the menu over the ordering counters as well.

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes Menu

Taking a closer look, starter snacks include classics like Fried Mozz, but also Crispy Brussels Sprouts among the offerings. And the Wings flavors include Spicy Korean BBQ and Mexican Hot Sauce.

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes Menu

And, of course, those Craft Burgers make up a big part of the menu, including a Vegan Burger and Turkey Burger along with The Greg Norman 1/2 pound Wagyu beef burger. Though the emphasis is, as expected, on the burgers you’ll find a couple of Chicken Sandwiches, too. You may also want to know that vegan and gluten-free buns are available as well, for an additional $2.00.

Fun add-ons for your burger include a fried egg, bacon, caramelized onions, and any house sauce (you’ll see those listed in the next pic), to name a few.

Next up are Craft Burger Salads! These include a Black Tap Burger Salad. Fries & Onion Rings add to the offerings.

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes Menu

And check out The Diz Kid (mini prime burger meal) under the Kids’ Menu!

The drink menu is where you’ll see Black Tap’s famous CrazyShakes highlighted among the offerings! Other beverage options include Craft Beer on Tap with 21st Amendment Blood Orange and Golden Road Pineapple Cart among the selections. Housemade Iced Tea, Lemonade, and Cocktails are available, too.

Black Tap Craft Drink Menu

Let’s take a closer look at the CrazyShakes by way of the printed menu. You’ll notice that the top three — Cotton Candy, The Cake Shake, and Sweet ‘N Salty — are available only for guests dining in.

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes Shake Menu

But no matter whether you dine in or pick up your shake outside, you’ll be able to order from the Classic Shakes (including Peanut Butter, Caramel, and Nutella among the choices) and five CrazyShakes including the Bam Bam (Fruity Pebbles) Shake, The Brooklyn Blackout, and the Downtown Disney-exclusive Strawberry Shortcake.

And if all that doesn’t make you ready to dig in…

LET’S EAT!

… then I don’t know what will!

DIG IN!

Starting with a couple from the Snacks list, we tried the Fried Pickles and the Fried Mozz. The Fried Pickles are served with the house buttermilk-dill sauce.

Fried Pickles

These are so fun for sharing. But even better, they’re seriously tasty! That thick golden batter ups the ante on these, and the buttermilk-dill is the perfect balance to the pucker from the pickle.

And, really, can you ever go wrong with Fried Mozz? While these are pretty much the regular awesome, crunchy, gooey things you’d expect when ordering some fried mozzarella, there are two interesting touches to point out.

Fried Mozz

First, that sauce is a smoky chipotle tomato sauce (as opposed to your regular marinara), adding some great, unique flavor. And second… you gotta love how they topped fried cheese sticks with EVEN MORE CHEESE. Nice!

But if you’re at Black Tap, you’ve clearly got to go for some burgers. And thanks to the vegan and turkey options (along with those gluten free and vegan bun options), there’s something to meet just about any burger craving.

The Texan Burger starts out like all the other beef burgers: with the “prime burger patty” of 7 ounces of 100% Black Angus USDA certified beef, and served with fries, lettuce, tomato, and a pickle on a potato roll. It’s topped with bacon, aged cheddar, and a huge onion ring, with BBQ sauce and mayo to finish.

The Texan Burger

All the beef burgers are cooked to medium (unless otherwise requested). Overall, regarding our four burgers, we thought a couple of them were a little overdone. But just by a touch and it didn’t take away too much from the flavor.

Plus the toppings are terrific, as is the case with The Pizza Burger, which is topped with marinara, fried mozzarella, and parmesan.

The Pizza Burger

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again… don’t knock a fried mozzarella-topped burger ’til you try it, folks. It totally works!

The Mexico City is another burger topped with a huge onion ring. But heat seekers will definitely be interested in hearing about the other toppings on this one.

The Mexico City

You’re looking at pepper jack cheese and pickled jalapenos (look at the size of those slices!) with chipotle mayo for a finishing touch. This has a nice amount of kick to it for those who crave some spice!

There’s more to the Crispy Chicken Sandwich than the name implies.

Crispy Chicken Sandwich

The truly crispy chicken is topped with a tangy buttermilk coleslaw, cilantro, lime, and spicy mayo with Korean BBQ served on the side. Altogether, it’s a really flavorful sandwich that’s not just an afterthought in comparison to the burgers.

I’ve gotta say, though… we were all surprised by, of all things, The Turkey Burger! It’s topped with Swiss cheese, smashed avocado and truffle mayo.

Turkey Burger

Compared with the other burgers which lean towards over-the-top, you wouldn’t think this would be a standout. But it really was! This thing was packed with flavor thanks to some terrific seasoning, and the whole table was impressed.

We were less impressed, unfortunately, with the side of Teriyaki Broccoli. Seasoned with garlic, ginger, sesame, and scallion, it sounds pretty promising, right? I mean, it got ME to order broccoli, so that’s saying something.

Teriyaki Broccoli

But the broccoli itself was kind of limp and the teriyaki sauce was more sour than flavorful. I wouldn’t get it again.

Speaking of sauce, though, I’d highly recommend grabbing a couple of the house sauces to dip your fries or some huge, yummy onion rings. (Note that you do receive your choice of a sauce if you order a batch of onion rings or a batch of fries, but it’s fun to have a couple for the extra buck.)

Onion Ring Mickey… or is it just me seeing that?

Choices include Texas BBQ, Special Sauce, and Korean BBQ.

Housemade Sauces

Others include chipotle mayo, buttermilk-dill, and salsa verde.

Housemade Sauces

My favorite was the chipotle mayo, but my tablemates liked others the best, which is why it’s nice to have a few for the family or your friends to suit various tastes.

No matter what you order, you can’t leave without trying a CrazyShake!

CrazyShakes

Umm… or three

.

CrazyShakes

Let’s start with The Cake Shake (which, you should know, is served at a limited quantity per day. It’s the only one noted as such on the menu.

The Cake Shake

A cake batter shake (seriously, yuuuuummmmm) has a vanilla frosted rim with oodles of rainbow sprinkles. It’s topped with an entire slice of funfetti cake, whipped cream, and MORE sprinkles. And a cherry on top, of course!

The Bam Bam Shake is a Fruity Pebbles Shake.

Bam Bam Shake

This time, the vanilla frosted rim is covered in fruity pebbles, which also top that GIGANTIC pile of whipped cream. So much whipped cream, in fact, that’s it’s hard to see that there’s also a rice krispy treat, a strawberry Pop-Tart, and some Laffy Taffy in there, too, for good measure! Oh, AND a cherry on top!

The Cookie Shake has a vanilla cookie base.

Cookie Shake

And it is NO JOKE. The vanilla frosted rim is coated in cookie crumbles, and it’s topped with a “cookiewich,” crumbled cookies, chocolate chip, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce.

And what I say for one of these, I say for all… the CrazyShakes are the real deal. Not only are they the original, but they’re simply better and higher quality than the other over-the-top shakes I’ve tried (and I’ve had a few!). The baked goods topping the shakes were all super fresh and tasty in their own right. Then the shakes themselves offered their own really interesting flavors. Plus they were super creamy, not too icy at all. It is nice to know that — as Instagram-worthy as they are — the CrazyShakes aren’t just for show. They’re legit. So, grab a straw — AND a fork

— and drink up!

That said, if CrazyShakes strike you as a little much after a burger and everything else, since the actual shakes themselves are so good, you can just go with one of the Classic Shakes.

Peanut Butter Shake

May I recommend the Peanut Butter? Because, WOW!

Overall

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes has truly delivered at the new Downtown Disney District location! To put it simply, it’s really good food making it a spot that’s well worth a visit. Plus, it’s fun! Though one of the first pictures in this post did have a line (and there was actually a longer one during my time there for the first day), it had definitely died down and was not crowded at all by the time we left. So don’t let fear of a line keep you from stopping by and enjoying some New York City eats at Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes on your next trip to Disneyland Resort!

Philly -> Brooklyn -> Breakdowntown 🚨

When we last spoke, dear reader, Sarah and I were about to make our way up to Philadelphia, with sights set on Brooklyn and beyond. The past week has taken us from a leap of faith in Philly, to wild chance encounter in Brooklyn (Greenpoint!), to family in West Hartford CT, to ... a total breakdown in Glens Falls New York...! Story below... Click the pics to enlarge and read comments >>>

We were #blessed to stay in the home of Bil Bond, the male Martha Stewart. Unbelievable!

A quick break to visit family and meet the newest Herrs! Hi Eva and Oliver! 

Breakdowntown

So, a couple hours away from my cousin's house in West Hartford, I start smelling something weird (maybe it's someone else's poor vehicle).. and then feeling something weird (man the roads here are extra bad).. and then Sarah notices too... so we pull over and look around the truck. Nothing seems out of order, until Sarah spots smoke coming from the rear driver's side wheels. Ugh. Okay. 

The closest exit is about as close as it could possibly be, so we slowwwly drive to the closest gas station, and then slowwwly towards the closest recommended service center (which turn out to just be an Advance Auto in a mall, not exactly a helpful garage.) As we enter the mall parking lot, the sounds and shaking get rapidly worse, and I realize I can't accelerate, and THEN I see the wheel in the rearview mirror (not usually possible) and slam on the brakes, which do not do a whole lot. Fortunately we have JUST made it out of the main parking lot traffic. 

Sarah jumps out to take a look, and I go to follow her after putting it in park and turning off the engine, and putting the emergency brake on just in case - all with additional alarming noises. But when I take my foot off the brake, the truck doesn't stop. It keeps gently inching forward. OKAY. 

Eventually it just.. isn't rolling anymore, and we commence insurance calls and begging at Advance Auto (totally unhelpful) and fielding the curious inquiries of the many people doing their errands at this mall. About 5 hours later, a tow truck finally brought us to a nearby heavy truck repair shop and... there we were. 

And here we are, in Glens Falls, NY. We're both fine, the truck is... yet to be diagnosed (the shop doesn't open till Monday morning), and our bikes are coming in extremely handy. We spent our first night sleeping in the truck last night, and plan to do it again tonight. Everyone who ever asked "Do you sleep in that thing?" - yes.  It looks like we won't make it to Montreal like we hoped, but we're only about 2.5 hours from Burlington... worst case scenario, maybe the truck stays in Glens Falls for a while while we get ourselves to Burlington somehow??  STAY TUNED! And if you or someone you know lives near Glens Falls, please get in touch. Maybe this is an unexpected Girls! Mural in the making....! (Also I mean we could really use a place to stay, the truck is really pretty good but a shower would be heavenly.)

PS: While this has all been going on, I got to do an interview with Vermont Public Radio! The resulting response to my call for images of women to paint in Burlington has been wonderful - over 40 emails and messages in the last two days! Thank you to everyone who submitted your pictures and stories - it's humbling to hear about all these wonderful people. I can't wait to get to Burlington (hopefully as scheduled??) to start meeting ya'll in person! 

<-- this is a super-zoomed-out screenshot to try and show you what my inbox looks like right now hehe <3

Here's a link to the interview if you'd like to hear it.

See the official Gynexin page here

What is this condition that is stealing your confidence?

Will I be able to go without a shirt(in Public) in 2 months or less?

Why Gynexin can guarantee their results within 60 days?

Where can I get the best deal on Gynexin?

What is Gynecomastia actually?

If you're suffering from "man boobs" you know what it's like to go swimming in public or wear outfits that are tighter fitting.

You're definitely not alone, it's much more common than many people realize.

The medical term for this is Gynecomastia, and it can lead to a number of health problems if it's not properly addressed.

It can be overwhelming with the amount of products and programs out there to help people suffering from Gynecomastia.

This Gynexin review should put you at ease so that you can make a decision by the end of this article for yourself.

Before we get to what the product can do for you, lets start by looking at the different Gynecomstia that you get and might have right now.

Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia/ Man boobs/ Moobs is the enlargement of breast tissue in Men. Its as common as 6 in 10 men that may have it.

Mixed Gynecomastia

When your enlarged breast is caused by increased fatty tissue as well as enlarged breast tissue, you have mixed gynecomastia. This is common in men that have a higher than normal body fat percentage.

Pseudogynecomastia

This can be explained as a fake/false version of Gynecomastia caused by fatty tissue in pockets in the breast cavities.

Pubertal Gynecomastia

4 out of 10 boys see an unusual amount of breast tissue when they reach puberty, this is called pubertal gynecomastia, for most boys they subside right after puberty.

Okay so now we have clarrified the different types of "man boobs" that exists, you can see that its not always clear what type of Gynecomastia you may have, and that is fine, just as long as you understand the difference in fatty tissue and breast tissue.

What are the Gynecomastia treatment options?

​There's a safe breast reduction pill which is rising to popularity that is geared toward reversing the cause of "man boob" and it's called Gynexin Alpha Formula.

​

Keep reading and you will see the facts, figures, pro's and con's that you can expect when using Gynexin Alpha Formula Review for men.

Even if you are that 1% that does not get the results you were looking for, at least you can have confidence in knowing that you tried one of the most effective - low risk - options on the market.

Moobs, or commonly referred to as the man boob is a very common problem which may be due to number of different causes, but herbal breast reduction pills do exist and can help you significantly as you look at treatment options.

This medical condition is mostly cosmetic in which the male gender is faced with the problem of excessive enlargement of their breasts and doesn’t appear good when you are placed in social or work environments.

The best way of treating this is by finding the underlying cause and eliminate the it. Another commonly used option is to treat it by doing a surgical removal of the enlarged part.

This is both expensive and is prone to leave behind some scar marks at the site of surgery.

Are you sick and tired of your sagging man boobs? Do you have zero confidence with the fairer sex? What if I told you there is a natural, herbal product available that can reduce you chest size, and get you mojo back? See the official Gynexin page here

What is gynexin alpha formula?

This condition can cause chronic stress and anxiety in many men. And not all can afford the expensive breast surgery or hormonal treatment.

Gynexin is a herbal product which has all the natural ingredients to help reduce the size of the male breasts within 3 to 4 weeks.

Who sells gynexin?

This product is manufactured and sold by the Zudker Group. The official site can be found at http://www.gynexin.com

When to take gynexin?

It's extremely important to take Gynexin regularly to maximize your chance of success. Depending on individual response to these male breast reduction pills, the time duration for the change in size may vary person to person. The recommended dose is 2 tablets a day as a month supply is 60 pills in a box.

When does gynexin start working?

As mentioned above the recommended dose is 2 pills a day, but to see the full benefit of the supplement you will atleast have to take it for 3 months consecutively.

You may find that Gynexin will need to be combined with male weight loss supplements to gain better results. As it is being manufactured in FDA approved facility, it is supposed to have the ingredients which are also FDA approved.

But strangely enough, although it has been in market for past 8 years, the ingredients used in the formulation of these male boob reduction pills are not FDA approved. It is marketed as a dietary supplement and not as any medicine used to treat, cure or diagnose any medical condition.

Does Gynexin really work?

Gynexin alpha formula works on the excessive fatty tissue surrounding the male breast. The fat is burned and therefore acts as a fat burner or a weight loss supplement.

This helps in regaining the natural shape of the male boobs. Though these capsules can’t be used to treat the hormonal imbalance, which may be the underlying cause of this condition, it can certainly move you one giant step closer.

It may not take hours and hours of exercise to take effect, but it is advised to incorporate small, manageable, and consistent amounts of exercise to achieve your ideal body type.

As a user of Gynexin it is also important to control your calorie intake. You may find that combining Gynexin with fat burning pills could enhance your results further than expected.

Everyone is different and your response to Gynexin should be closely monitored and assessed after around one months’ time.

This will help determine whether Gynexin Alpha Formula is having any effect on the body or not. If no response is seen, either a doctor can be consulted or it may be discontinued.

Here are some of the Gynexin Results customers have been reporting on the Official Gynexin Page

The first thing I noticed when I started Gynexin is

more energy. I have lost inches off my hips, waist, arms, thighs and most importantly my chest. I am nearing the completion of my third blister pack and I can see a big difference. I actually took my shirt off yesterday when I cut the lawn! This may not sound like a bid deal to most, but if you suffer from gynecomastia you know exactly what I'm talking about. I haven't had my shirt off outside for years. I just had to share my success. Thank you for a wonderful product.

  Tim B. - San Diego, CA

I have been taking the product for

just over 2 1/2 months and have noticed a more masculine chest. My chest is not yet exactly where I would like it to be but I am hopeful that it will be over the next couple of months (I got the 4 +1 deal). Also I noticed an additional benefit of a more sculptured stomach and have cut back significantly on my ab exercises while maintaining the tone. Thanks for that extra surprise. Even if there is no more reduction it was worth the purchase for the results I have experienced so far.

  Max Wentworth - Seattle, Washington

I was very skeptical about even trying an oral product to treat my gynecomastia, and to be honest

I have done plenty of research on my condition over the years and I've always been led to believe that surgery was my only option. It seems that the internet is flooded with websites of cosmetic surgeons offering their services, but I could never find an alternative until I finally stumbled across a product called Gynexin. The rest is history... no pun intended! It took only 3 weeks before I started to physically see results... it's been about 6 months now and I couldn't be happier. Now its time to learn how to swim!

 David Shannon - Long Beach, California

What does Gynexin contain?

The Gynexin bottle is printed with all of the ingredients present in the formulation. It's evident that the majority of the ingredients are natural herbs and no artificial additives are present.

Chromium: This is an effective fat burning agent which helps in weight loss and also helps in maintaining and increasing muscle mass. Body builders and athletes tend to actively include this in their daily diets. Picolinate is used to aid in chromium absorption. It provides an overall well being of the body as well as regulates insulin levels. It increases energy levels and stabilizes the body metabolism rates.

Proprietary Gyenxin blend: It is the herbal supplement part of this formulation specific to this male boob reduction pills.

Guggulsterone: Another part of the fat burning agent in this natural supplement and is also well known in treatment of osteo

If Excel Had a One-Night Stand With cFIREsim

[Hey guys! If you love numbers and forecasting and poking around new financial calculators, you’re going to enjoy this review of OnTrajectory today :) It comes from Gwen of FieryMillennials.com and should give you something exciting to do over the weekend! Haha… Hope it helps!]

*********

Hi my name is Gwen, and I have a confession.

I love spreadsheets.

Not like, oh yeah occasionally I play around in Excel making spreadsheets. No no.

I LOVE SPREADSHEETS.

Chances are high you feel the same way. Many drawn to the FIRE life want to optimize their lives to the fullest, and one of the best ways to do so is through spreadsheets.

Months of income neatly listed in columns. Years of expenses documented in different tabs. Beautiful graphs made from forecasting the FV formula.

I can’t. Get. Enough.

Eventually, though, if you’re anything like me, you run out of variables to change. The joy starts to fade from putzing around in Excel, and you need something more to keep up the high…

Enter, OnTrajectory.

I’m pretty sure this beautiful piece of software is a love child from Excel having a one-night stand with the cFIREsim calculator.

OnTrajectory (or OT) bills themselves as “A Financial Planner and Analyzer – All in one easy-to-use graphically interactive program.” They’re not wrong. It’s beautiful.

You start off entering in some details about you: age, total savings, annual income, and how much income you save monthly. You can skip these questions and enter them manually if you want a more granular control over where that information goes.

After it processes the information, you’re taken to the main screen where you have a number of options.

Let’s start with income:

[click to enlarge]

The thing I love most about OT is the flexibility to include multiple streams of income that last as long as you want.

Day job income until you’re 34? Done.

Great Aunt Ethel passes away when you’re 50? Put that chunk of change in there.

Lucky enough to get a pension that starts at age 65? You guessed it: that can go in there as well!

Moving on to expenses:

[click to enlarge]

Much the same story as income, except these are all the things you’re spending money on.

Only paying for college for 2 years for the kiddo? You can include that.

Finish paying off the house at age 45? You get the picture.

I also like that you can go super granular and include your actual budget for expenses. It’s for those that really want to go deep into their budget and estimate how changing things like not spending money on work clothes and spending more money on vacations and tequila affects their timeline.

(I may or may not be one of those people.)

After expenses comes the really fun part: Accounts and Taxes

(Is that the first time anyone has ever said taxes are fun?)

[click to enlarge]

This is the section where you get to add in all of your existing accounts. If you’re like me, this could take awhile. It’s worth it, I promise.

Notice how in the picture above I have a 401k in there? Well, if you look closer at the numbers that I totally made up out of the blue, you’ll notice how it has two sections. The first section is the years I’m going to contribute money to it while I’m still working. The second part is the growth stage, where I don’t touch my beautiful little nest egg and let it grow untouched for 29 years.

As with all the other sections, you can change the date ranges and amounts contributed to see how it changes your trajectory. One really fun thing to do is to look at what your projected end number is if you stop contributing to you 401(k) this year. I bet the number is higher than you would think it would be! I wouldn’t recommend, however, seeing what your number would be if you worked for 35 years and contributed the max. Let’s just say I’d be worth well over 7 figures if I decided to sacrifice the best part of my life to ‘The Man’.

The next tab is “goals”

I’m going to be completely honest here and let you know I haven’t fiddled with this section too much. Simply because I’m a Type A person and I don’t like setting goals that are so dependent on something as flaky as the US Stock Market.

There are a number of goals you can set, though, like Trajectory reaches $ on this Date _____,  Projected Progress reaches $ on this Date ______, and Trajectory reaches $ on _____ at this cumulative RATE _____.

The last and final tab is simply a list of all the progress check-ins you’ve done so far.

Everything combines to make a chart that looks something like this:

[click to enlarge]

As you can see, this very simple example would have me living a life full of comfort and luxury until the end of my days. Yay!

I know this because not only does the graph end on a record high, there is also a handy dandy notification that says so. Not in those exact words though, sadly.

The notification area comes with a variety of different messages, from successful trajectory to early withdrawal penalties to projected shortfall warnings. Here are what some of them look like:

At the risk of babbling on and on about this awesome website (seriously I could talk about it all day. I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface!) I will end with a quick summary.

Pros of using OnTrajectory

Gives you robust projection capabilities that Excel can’t provide

Can get way down into the details

It’s very well documented

It looks great!

Their support responds promptly (now with a dedicated subreddit!)

Cons of using OnTrajectory

The free version only lets you put in a few accounts (which is fine to poke around, but to truly get a good idea you need to add all your different accounts which requires upgrading to the “PowerPlan” at $5.00/mo)

Takes a while to set up the first time

TL;DR

OnTrajectory really lets you dig into the nitty gritty details if you’re a numbers person. I’ve been using them for over a year now and I love it. I feel far more confident with my plans now that I can see the definite impact of working a few more years or not fully maxing out my 401(k).

Highly recommend checking them out! OnTrajectory.com

I wouldn’t recommend, however, seeing what your number would be if you worked for 35 years and contributed the max. Let’s just say I’d be worth well over 7 figures if I decided to sacrifice the best part of my life to ‘The Man’.

The next tab is “goals”

I’m going to be completely honest here and let you know I haven’t fiddled with this section too much. Simply because I’m a Type A person and I don’t like setting goals that are so dependent on something as flaky as the US Stock Market.

There are a number of goals you can set, though, like Trajectory reaches $ on this Date _____,  Projected Progress reaches $ on this Date ______, and Trajectory reaches $ on _____ at this cumulative RATE _____.

The last and final tab is simply a list of all the progress check-ins you’ve done so far.

Everything combines to make a chart that looks something like this:

As you can see, this very simple example would have me living a life full of comfort and luxury until the end of my days. Yay!

I know this because not only does the graph end on a record high, there is also a handy dandy notification that says so. Not in those exact words though, sadly.

The notification area comes with a variety of different messages, from successful trajectory to early withdrawal penalties to projected shortfall warnings. Here are what some of them look like:

At the risk of babbling on and on about this awesome website (seriously I could talk about it all day. I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface!) I will end with a quick summary.

Pros of using OnTrajectory

Gives you robust projection capabilities that Excel can’t provide

Can get way down into the details

It’s very well documented

It looks great!

Their support responds promptly (now with a dedicated subreddit!)

Cons of using OnTrajectory

The free version only lets you put in a few accounts (which is fine to poke around, but to truly get a good idea you need to add all your different accounts which requires upgrading to the “PowerPlan” at $5.00/mo)

Takes a while to set up the first time

TL;DR

OnTrajectory really lets you dig into the nitty gritty details if you’re a numbers person. I’ve been using them for over a year now and I love it. I feel far more confident with my plans now that I can see the definite impact of working a few more years or not fully maxing out my 401(k).

Highly recommend checking them out! OnTrajectory.com

You can’t really completely live self-sufficiently and in an eco-friendly manner unless you have an animal to help you in the bush with your wood to heat the home, to help you plough the garden and even the driveway in winter, and an animal to offer you milk for all your dairy products.  And of course chickens, for eggs and meat!  But the latter will have to wait a while because the former have already taken up a LOT of time and energy!  Mostly the energy of Richard, his brother, and his niece’s fiance.  That is to say, the ‘menfolk’. ( But I’ve been leaving off baking bread and basement gardening and spending most days wielding a hammer lately as well….)

Back in February we bought the Clydesdale/Belgian cross on recommendation alone (that is that he was only 5 and that he was BOMBPROOF quiet, which Richard needs as he’s not used to horses, and after 3 back surgeries and some busted-up knees, I ALSO now NEED!) He came from more than 3 hours away, and as I knew we couldn’t justify a trip that far just to have a  look at him, I asked for a video clip of him hauling logs, and was more than satisfied that he was excellent at this chore.

The hunt for a dairy goat has been going on since last October, but they are even more rare in this province than a good draft horse, so that has been a problem indeed.  It’s also one of the reasons I’d scheduled Richard and me for a 3 or 4 hour lesson at the goat farm in Maine; I wanted us to feel confident with all the extra skills and knowledge needed to have a few dairy animals. (I owned a goat in my 20s, but just having one around and being responsible for breeding, raising and selling its kids, and sanitarily milking it are very different circumstances indeed!)  We were scheduled to attend the farm in Maine on Sunday, but sadly our truck decided to have over-heating and thermostat problems and we had to cancel. THAT is what today’s blog was supposed to be on, so I’ve had to do some hustling to get ready for this special feature – the preparation for and arrival of our livestock.

The potato quonset that we call part Richard’s workshop/garage, and part ‘barn’ is a big ole piece of tin with a massive cement floor and an echo in it that could stave off the advent of Satan.  While I do enjoy going out at night sometimes and bellowing out some Bee Gees tunes to hear the reverb., it’s not a great environment for spooky animals, and besides, Richard in NO WAY wanted the animals being walked past his precious ’73 Chevy Nova. So we needed a run-in shelter with attached paddock (horses are much happier if they can come in and go outside as they please in all weathers), as well as a separate goat stall, although we were really hoping that whatever goat we had would be mostly in WITH the horse as they are compatible critters to each other.  In fact, many race horse owners will have a goat actually living in the stall with a hot-tempered equine to calm them.

I designed the lay-out of the ‘stall’/run-in, and since Smitty refused to use the kennel/dog-house I built for him last fall (he tore it apart in under 2 hours on 2 different occasions.  It’s what ya call radical co-dependency!) I decided the goat could have the ‘kennel run’ and massive insulated dog-house.  To start with, then, Richard and I took bolts out of the tin on two sides of the furthest end of the barn, one for a large 8.5 foot tall door for the Clyde cross, and one man-door for us to run in and out without worrying about going through the paddock area and gates, etc.  After he and I took out all the bolts, he started cutting the metal, which really impressed me as I thought that was too scary a job for an accident-prone fella like him:

This is the livestock door, with Richard’s impressive cutting from the outside!

This is the ‘man-door’ for quick trips in and out of the barn.

  Next, we had our neighbours’ relatives come in with an excavator and cut the adjoining cement from the foundation, as well as make a slope out into what would be the paddock or corral for both horse and goat.  This took a lot less time than I would have thought! Only a few hours and  it was finished!

So, ta-da!  Great to have all this light in the other end now!

  The next step, of course, was to buy the rough lumber, which we got at two different mills in two local towns.  Our favourite mill owner lets us have HUGE discounts on 4 by 4s and even the wood-chips/sawdust mix I’m using for  footing over the cement. A whole trailer-load for 15.00!  (I’m BEDDING the horse on straw, as no one likes to lie on CHUNKS of wood, and sawdust doesn’t drain well when urinated on, BUT there are no proper wood-shavings  – peeled pieces –  sold in this part of the province, so we’re making do with a combo.!)

Once Richard did all the mathematical figuring (about 8 times over!) we laid in a good supply and asked the family for help.  Richard’s niece from Saint John is getting married here at the farm next year, so Carriann came up to work on wedding plans with me, while the 3 men, Richard, his brother Jean-Marc, and Matthieu got hard to work digging post holes. Richard already knew from experimenting that the manual post-hole digger I had him buy wasn’t going to work in this very rocky soil, so he’d even arranged to rent an auger for the weekend.  Those hubbies sure worked hard for 2 days straight getting those holes dug and the posts (which we tarred first for protection on the underground portion) set into the hilly terrain.  Note:  although I’m told that pressure-treated wood is no longer poisonous for livestock with a tendency to chew, I don’t trust it, and besides it’s MILES more expensive per foot! (Slideshow can be clicked through to make it faster, if you prefer).

We didn’t get the posts as deep as I’d hoped – it is suggested that in this part of N.B., the frostline is at 3.5 to 4 feet, so I wanted the posts deeper than that, but there were so many rocks in the ground and poor Matt seemed to have the dirtiest job of trying to heave them all out, so we compromised with just a little over 3 ft down.  We may have to do the paddock over in a few years; we’ll just have to wait and see what the winters bring!  (also note: the tar shouldn’t be exposed where animals might chew at it either, but they painted the posts thinking they’d be in deeper. However, the goat fence I knew we’d have to install would protect greedy mouths and bored little brains from taking a chomp on this black stuff.)

TIP – When building a fence of this type, so many non-farmer folk think it looks ‘prettier’ to have the boards on the OUTSIDE; this is a common mistake. Livestock ALWAYS lean on the fence (ie: the grass is always greener) and can either split the boards more easily, OR pop the nails out if the boards are on the outside.  If you MUST do this for aesthetics, make sure you have an electric fence system strung ’round on the inside, to keep the livestock off your rails or panels.

After the rellies left that weekend, Richard and I spent two full days cutting and nailing up the boards, although we did frequently ‘cheat’ and use the massive nail gun, which shoots 4 inch nails deep into the posts!  I then continued -in rain, sleet, wind and, when sun was out so were the blackflies!,- to put the goat fence up by myself, whilst Richard worked on building the wall of the stall/run-in (attached in part to what was formerly Smitty’s kennel, built by myself out of old doors from the inside of the house, and a huge television stand Richard had made for us years ago – which will now also be part of the chicken coop!)  REMEMBER – REUSE, RECYCLE AND REDUCE!   (As always, you can click on any of the photos to enlarge for details).

Above, top two pics are of me nailing up not only the goat fence (so they can’t climb out or under) but also putting old 1970s mouldings from the house over the top edge of the wire so no one gets hurt on it. Not sure how the mouldings will hold up over the course of a winter, but it’s one quick, eco-friendly and inexpensive way of the protecting the animals’ skins without going to town for yet more supplies!  Another hope for the goat fence – it will help prevent predators from easily getting access into the barn which is where the chicken coop will eventually be.             Bottom 3 picks are of my drop-rail gate, with skinnier tree trunks below to keep the goat out, and heavier ones above in case the horse leans over.  This horse-shoe gate arrangement has always held me in good stead for a quick and easy solution, and the trees we cut were already being crowded out by larger trees, so needed to be thinned anyway…

BELOW, Richard not only worked on the wall and gate for the run-in shelter, but had to build a massive door frame for the loose and jagged tin, and fill in holes left by the cement foundation being removed:

We planned the wall 4 boards solid to a) help keep out predators again from the eventual chicken coop which will also be attached to this wall and b) so that the goat won’t jump up and get a leg caught, as goats are prone to do!                   Also, in the far corner of the stall, note the two beams on the floor that I’ve put to make a separate ‘bed’ -Richard calls it ‘the mattress area’.  So while there are rough chips in most of the interior for just standing up and off the cement, the straw is on top of this base foundation in case either animal wants to lie down.  Also, it may be hard to see in this photo (and I’ve since put on ripped bits of bright-coloured plastic bags that have triply served their purpose in the house for covering foods, etc.,) but each day the horse will be pastured in an electric fence enclosure for grazing, and the goat will be tethered nearby.

Thus, as you can see from the below two photos, both the outside and inside enclosures are now complete, and we are so happy and exhausted from making them so!

And now, for the fun part!  Introducing Chevy the horse (Richard decided he was about the same size as his beloved Nova, although I pointed out he’d be a lot more EFFICIENT AND USEFUL !  In my head, I think of “Chevy” as either short for “cheval” OR as a representation of Chevy Chase, who was the star of Funny Farm, mentioned in the blog posting from our move here last May…) and, along with him, his little friend, the female yearling “Cammie”  (Richard also chose this name – really, for Camero – show emoticon of my rolling my eyes here – but Cammie does seem to suit her…) We hope she may someday become our first dairy goat, but for now, she’s just along as a ‘friend’ for Chevy, and so that we can give her some special attention as she’s rail thin and as co-dependent on us as Smitty still is!

Here’s their arrival last night, in the god-awful, far-too-low-for-a-draft-horse cow trailer, on which they stood loaded for nearly 7 hours while cattle were taken on and off and they were driven all over the western part of the province before finally alighting here. I took a shot of my first view of Chevy and my first view of Cammie, also:

Richard had a few tender moments with Cammie, who is very sweet, and though I’ve told him we’re not making hand-feeding a rule (it leads to a nippy horse, and no one needs that!) I let him try feeding Chevy an apple.  FLAT PALM!!!!!

Both animals are underweight and in desperate need of some good grooming, but time on grass and elbow grease will solve those matters, and they are both very kind and quiet, as advertised by word of mouth through the ‘grapevine’.  I don’t recommend buying animals – esp. a horse! – sight unseen, but again, I’m experienced in what to look for, and who/what questions asked, and we purchased from one of the most reliable draft people in the province, apparently.   A certain amount of luck is always involved anyway, no matter how many times you may go try a horse, get him vetted, etc.! So in this case, we just clung on to faith and gave it a shot. NOT recommended for first-time homesteaders, though!

  So, thanks to the husband for all the work and effort, thanks to the OTHER hubbies for their time that post-hole-digging weekend, and please enjoy this wonderful quote about “Animal Husbandry” by Tom Robbins:

“Hardly a pure science, history is closer to animal husbandry than it is to mathematics, in that it involves selective breeding. The principal difference between the husbandryman and the historian is that the former breeds sheep or cows or such, and the latter breeds (assumed) facts. The husbandryman uses his skills to enrich the future; the historian uses his to enrich the past. Both are usually up to their ankles in bullshit.”

Stay tuned for more from the Chevy/Cammie side of life at Blue Belldon Farm!
