Propane forge clearances

I have a vevor 2 burner forge, I’ve always just used it outside but I recently build a 24’x8’ lean to wood shed with an 8 x 8 area for my blacksmithing “shop”. The tall end is 9’6” from the ground and the short end is 7’ from the ground with a loft at 7’ inside. I didn’t put any boards down in the loft area, it’s just 2x4s for storing metal over my shop and wood over the wood so you can still see the steel roof. When I built it I never even thought of the clearances of the forge but it’s never too late I guess lol. I sided it with wood boards and I put cement board on the walls around the forge but above the forge what should I do? It gets really hot above the forge and I’m just trying to think of ideas on how to handle it. I haven’t actually set up my shop area yet but am in the middle of it. Thank you all.

Should I Get The Hibreak Pro Color

I’ve been wanting an eink phone for about a year now but I haven’t worked up the courage to go all in yet. I have Verizon so I know I’ll have to change my number and switch to t mobile most likely which is my biggest reason as to why I haven’t yet. I just paid off my current phone (iPhone SE3) back in march and I think I want to try it. Do most apps work with the phone? I use my phone for thin like Sam’s Club scan and go and Menards to order material for projects around my house from time to time does all that work okay? I’m not worried about videos, I use YouTube but mostly for podcasts with my screen off anyways. Thank you all!

New Bike

I just bought this 84 goldwing off marketplace for $700 from an older guy getting out of riding. I don’t know even where to start really. I haven’t ridden a motorcycle in 2 years and I had an older honda shadow 750. This bikes way heavier and bigger than any bike I’ve ever ridden. I’d still consider myself a beginner rider so how should I go about learning to ride this thing? Also he said he had the timing belts replaced about 6 years ago but I’ll probably do that this winter. Other than that anything I should know about the bike? What maintenance should I do first? And did I get a good deal lol. Thank you!

Switching to watering system

I just set up a new watering hose system for my rabbitry for the summer. I’ve been using bowls but I like the idea of them having water at all times in the heat because even giving water twice a day didn’t seem like enough. I’ll have to go back to bowls in the winter but my issue is my rabbits don’t understand the nipples it seems. I set it up last night and put a dab of peanut butter on each nipple so they’d check it out but this morning none of them have figured it out. What should I do?
