re: #8 Mostly sane, most of the time.
One of my boys is sleeping on the wheat. By the time it was time to get him a bed, we were ticked at what they (the older kids) had already done to the furniture we had already bought them, so he sleeps on a mattress that is on a pallet that is resting on about 16 5 gallon buckets of wheat.
It works, and if he puts stickers on them, we won’t care, although I did buy a dust ruffle to hide the buckets.
Do you have a regular schedule for rotating the food, so it doesn’t go off? What do you do with all that wheat?
