    Great googly moogly, that is a lot of labor. Literally thousands of hours of skilled labor. Her family will survive the year.

    That top right shelf is making me nervous. All it takes is one little peg to break for all that work to come crashing down. Please say it didn’t happen and that she is still eating her peaches and tomatoes and minced meats till this day.
