I'm envisioning a disc that rotates, attached to the side of a bucket, so that when lowered and driven along, it makes a cut in the ground. This would be to install edging, to keep a mulched area separate from the lawn, so I would want to go approximately 3-4" below grade. Firstly, is there...

Glad to hear you escaped major injury. I do have an old truck, but no, it's not for sale.

Is that a "Blue Streak" '19 and "Patriot Blue" '22? I had a '15 Blue Streak Ram and when I went to order the '20 I was so disappointed they had discontinued it (got the Patriot Blue). I absolutely loved Blue Streak. At least I get to still regularly see it, as I sold it to my son.

I wouldn't count on it. We've had to replace expensive name brand batteries after 2-3 years recently. Looking at adding probably 4 batteries to our Airstream. Battleborn 100Ah LiFePO4 are a grand ea... Also planning to add more PV panels and upgrade the charge controller, add EasyStart to the...

I can concur. I ordered an SSQA conversion from Titan for my pin-on setup. The one pin almost never fully seats unless you beat on it with a hammer. I've tried a bunch of things to make it right and just can't figure out what's wrong. It's even hard to close with no attachment installed...

I certainly don’t consider myself an expert, but did just plant 60 trees with drip irrigation. It’s .9 gal/ft and I have it on a timer to run 4 hours every 3 days. I also added about 4” wood chips over the entire area. After 2 weeks they are looking healthier than when planted. Pic from not...

Our NJ house came with Nat Gas at the road, but no service. I wanted to put in a standby generator, and since there was gas at the street and no existing LP tank I put in an inquiry. Even though I told them that ATM I only plan to hook up a standby genset, they would put the gas in for...

Well, how about - I didn't know of either/both options. And, it's a bit late now... Update: I just checked Batteries Plus and they don't list Porsche. My guess is that the tech is too locked down.

Yes, but. You still need the physical key/fob to drive away. I've tried it... My wife's Kia has a smart card (same size/shape as a credit card) that can be used to lock/unlock the doors as well as start and drive away. I have one in my wallet - just in case.

I'm assuming yours is much older, and doesn't need to be programmed. And BTW, the price I mentioned was only for the "key" (metal part) and "transmitter" (electronic, head/fob of said key). They charged me an additional $275 to program it... So all in $1k.

At the dealer getting a replacement key programmed. $717.69 for the key and programming... (Porsche)

High strength concrete, with wire/fiber is a necessity. BUT so is, a proper base. Put that on quicksand and you will have gravel before you know it. I have a brother-in-law that does precast for the state (NJ and PA, maybe DE) , and two nephews that do pour-in-place for Amazon and the like...

I guess this is a bit delayed, but (per How big of a PHD?) I bought a 3PT Post Hole Digger and 18" auger to plant 61 trees. I was a bit concerned whether my 30HP tractor would handle it, but the South Jersey soil was no match for it. We only ever ran it at an idle and it even cut through some...

We bought a house in South Jersey last year. There is grass growing UP THROUGH the asphalt (I have not cut and measured but it appears to be 2-3" thick). I assume that grass alongside is spreading out sideways and poking up. How that works, I have no clue. BUT. I am thinking that edging with an...

Something to push against is a great idea! Especially if it’s material you will always have on hand. Question - how sturdy is the second layer, and/or do you somehow tie/bond them together? FYI my BIL owns a precast company so I could probably get what I want for next to nothing, though I...
