Today I wanted to discuss the building of the Ultimate Work Truck. This is a project I have had on my mind since I sold my favorite truck while we still lived in Missouri. I really miss that truck and haven’t had a truck that can compete since then. This is not going to be a truck that will be purchased new, nor will it have a bunch of bling added. Im looking for a real work truck and be able to build it on a budget. I only have a couple of requests:

I have always wanted to make my own butter. I even scored an antique butter churn from a local antique store for $10. I just never had the heart to use it. Then I found this great article using Lehmans butter churn. Find the great article here: http://adventures-in-country-living.blogspot.com/2012/04/churning-butter-with-lehmans-best.html

Now I love my multi-tool, but this takes it to a whole new level. I was very impressed with how many uses it has. Obviously some things seemed like a stretch, but others appear to be very useful.
Water Storage Info: I am sure that if you are reading this you already know how important it is to have water storage. After I read about Iowa City having to use bottled water it reminded me that perhaps we should talk on the subject some more. Store shelves can literally be emptied in hours!
