Where do we start? Kitchen Uppers - Step 1

Image
Why Start with Upper Cabinets? When installing kitchen cabinets, it’s generally recommended to start with the upper cabinets. Here are the main reasons: Room to Maneuver: Installing the upper cabinets first ensures you have plenty of room to maneuver and position them correctly without the lower cabinets getting in the way. This prevents the need to lean over or climb on the lower cabinets, reducing the risk of damaging them. Safety: It’s generally safer to install upper cabinets first because they are mounted higher on the wall. Installing the lower cabinets first could create obstacles and make it more difficult to use ladders or other supports safely while lifting and positioning the upper cabinets. Make sure all upper cabinets are attached to each other and the wall to provide stability and uniform alignment. Check Alignment: Regularly check the level with both the laser level and spirit level. Watch how we bring the entire kitchen together and see the transformation in real-t...

Divine Encounter: Jaden's Tree of Life Story

Image
In this inspiring video, I share an encounter I had at the Damdoryn Curio Market, opposite the Chameleon Market. While there, I met Jaden and Jurie, two individuals who seemed to be in a hurry. Despite their haste, I felt compelled by the Spirit to ask them if they were saved. Jaden's response was nothing short of remarkable. He shared how he found God by himself under a tree, which he now calls the Tree of Life. His story is a beautiful testament to finding faith and connection with the divine in the most unexpected places. What makes this encounter even more special is Jaden's desire to be on video, which he had prayed about. Feeling led by the Spirit, I recorded this short clip to share his inspiring testimony with all of you. Sometimes, we are called to be the answer to someone's prayer, and today, I believe this video is a step in that direction. Join me in this divine moment and witness the story of Jaden, a young man whose faith journey under the Tree of Life reminds...

Rare Goethite-Included Quartz: From Mine to Market. Welcome back to our quartz adventure! In this follow-up video, we're diving into the mesmerizing world of goethite-included quartz, straight from the remote mines of Mozambique. It's a journey that takes two days by foot just to reach the source, but oh, the treasures that await! This time, our miners stumbled upon a fascinating pocket of goethite-included quartz with some with a smoky hue and hinting at the possibility of uncovering amethyst in the near future. Imagine the excitement of receiving four large bags filled with these geological wonders – it felt like Christmas morning! But with great finds comes great responsibility, and our task was to prepare these beauties for display in our Rockshop at Hartbeespoort. The challenge? They were too large for our usual cleaning setup. That's when innovation kicked in – a 210-liter drum, cut in half, became the perfect vessel for our project. Equipped with a diamond saw at...

As we examined the clear and smoky varieties, our attention was drawn to dark, irregular sprays within them. A quick Google search identified these inclusions as Goethite, a rarity that adds a unique allure to our collect...
