neilestrick Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 84" TV to hang on the wall opposite my wheel. Seriously, though, I'd like to upgrade the controllers on two of my kilns, as they are still the old non-touchscreen models. Beyond that, I have everything I need.

liambesaw Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 I recently got a kerosene heater, @Hulk. Game changer. I would like a pugmill but my god they're expensive. Still waiting for one to pop up in the local classifieds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denice Posted December 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 The air filter is a great idea, I think I will save the money until one of my kilns needs rewiring. Instead of rewiring I will buy a new computerized kiln. I have a hard time replacing anything until I need to repair or replace it. Denice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denice Posted December 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 Hiring a computer nerd to set up your website and handle your social media marketing would be something I need. I would also need someone to pack the pots and mail them for me. All I want to do is make them, when I owned wallpaper, paint and blinds store I had a accountant. I called her my babysitter, she kept me on track on what I needed to do each month and did my taxes at the end of the year. She was well worth the money, I didn't have to worry about it. I could concentrate on designing work and selling jobs, decorating for clients was also available at my store. Denice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denice Posted December 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 You guys dream big, I suggested to my husband we buy a little fishing cabin. He said he didn't want anything he has to take care of. Not many of them for sale right now, families bought most of them to live in during the pandemic.

oldlady Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 johnnyK, just found this. you might look into a water heater for a recreational vehicle. i had one that would heat 2 gallons of water at a time. never connected it, used an electric hot water kettle instead. sold the RV one to a dog groomer who installed it in his truck. i bought that heater used for $20 and sold it for $20.
