Camp Treehouse “Even the most modest of projects can become something beautiful. There is no such thing as too far gone. With hope and a hammer, I believe there is always a way.” - Tereasa Surratt Boy do those words ring true in today’s Wandawega post. It’s about the latest addition to David and Tereasa’s magical campsite: a modern, pitched roof treehouse- designed and built by a wonderful bunch of friends. (photo: Bob Coscarelli) The project all started with a big, old elm tree located right in the center of camp. (Photo: David Hernandez) Sadly, Tom passed away a year and a half later, and around that same time, the elm tree contracted Dutch Elm disease. Further investigation into the elm’s condition revealed that even though its branches were dying, its trunk was still very strong. Tereasa and David’s carpenter/furniture-maker friends started by sketching out plans. Tereasa said, “Everyone had a radically different idea, and everyone was thinking 100 times bigger and more elaborate than I was.
Coriander oil (cilantro) can be used to treat food poisoning and drug-resistant infections (NaturalNews) Food-borne illness outbreaks and the growing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant "superbugs" are two very serious societal problems for which researchers say they are actively looking for viable solutions. But one such solution found right in nature is coriander oil, which has been found to kill a number of different bacterial strains, as well as aid in digestion and treat the symptoms of food poisoning. Dr. Fernanda Domingues and her colleagues from the University of Beira Interior in Portugal tested the effects of coriander oil, an essential oil extracted from the seeds of the coriander plant, also known as cilantro, on twelve different bacterial strains, including Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella enterica, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), the infamous hospital superbug. "The results indicate that coriander oil damages the membrane surrounding the bacterial cell," said Dr. Domingues about how the essential oil works.

How 1 MILLION Pounds Of Organic Food Can Be Produced On 3 Acres By Andy Whiteley Co-Founder of Wake Up World The quality and accessibility of our food supply is a mounting issue today. With GMOs, chemical pesticides and low-nutrition processed foods now commonplace in the mainstream supply, taking control of your own food supply is one of the smartest things you can do – for your health and for your hip pocket. So, with limited space, how can we create an independent food supply? I recently came across this amazing video of a man, urban farmer Will Allen, who has figured out a self-sustaining system that can grow 1 million pounds of food every year, on just 3 acres of land, using the symbiotic cultivation of plants and aquatic animals in a re-circulating system. If you’re interested in starting your own Aquaponics system in your home, be sure to check out our exclusive special offer to Wake Up World readers at the bottom of this page.

Dining Room Wall Upgrade I am so excited to finally share our updated dining room! Check out those gorgeous walls! Remember what it used to look like? Bleh. I saw the idea for horizontal board and batten on Pinterest from Milk and Honey Home: She used a bright orangeish/coralish color for the top but we went with a light taupe color. Here's how we did it! We went to Lowe's and purchased a bunch of 1x4x8 boards. The walls are still gray at this point and the boards are not primed/painted yet. Next, we used caulk to fill in some of the gaps, the nail holes, and any extra spaces that needed some refinishing. Progress shots: first coat of paint and the dining room in complete disarray! And after a second coat of paint and setting the furniture back out, it is complete! A shot of the empty wall where our shelving will go (someday!) Wide angle shot: need that shelving (mentioned above) and some art. Doesn't it give the room such depth and dimension? Peek towards the kitchen: looks great together!
