Welcome to SMF @SudsMcKenzie ! ADVICE TO NEWBIES

I buy my oils from SoapersChoice Use the drop-down product menu to see all base oils listed. In addition to RBO, they have 50/50 Olive/RBO which might work well for you. To spread out shipping costs, I order 4 gallons (7-8 lbs) at a time. Good company to do business with. They've been around...

YOO HOO! Anybody???

Yes! I hear ya! I have one just like it and it's been below freezing lately. My car wouldn't start yesterday, for one thing. 😟 But that's another story. If I understand correctly, you need garage storage. If it were me, and if there's room for it, I would look into picking an old refrigerator...

YES! Gosh, I did that for 15 years from the very beginning in 2004. I may have mentioned this before. You just need to set up a dedicated credit card and a dedicated checking account. Your checking account register is your "accounting program". To keep it simple: ALL income is deposited into...
