There's 80 lbs of grains...millet, sorghum, rye and barley...in my living room. It's reasonable to ask I think at this point if it was maybe not the best idea, specially without pre-planning on the storage containers because there's no place to put them in. It's an issue because if I open the zip-ties the plastic containers are locked with, the grains will be exposed to open air and the vermins that might come up with it. It's not ideal as this area is quite rampant with fat scary rats. Need to buy food-safe buckets with covers otherwise the management will be tricky.
Secondly, the grains, while organic and clean, are not the highest graded quality. Meaning I will have to spend some time winnowing them and cleaning them multiple times before boiling or steaming. As if they had been grown in Nepal and were being processed there too. Like my parents and grandparents and ancestors have been doing for all these years. I thought I could run away from it all, but it wasn't that easy, was it?
It'll definitely be worth it. Need to approach the whole situation with proper thought, planning and vision on how to accomplish what my goals are.
