You really, really, really, really, do need a GC. A good GC pays for himself. You won't have any connection with or knowledge of the subs. You won't know who is good or bad and they won't have any reason to prioritize you, show up to your site on time, or do a good job because you aren't a...

Ride it, repeatedly, with an ATV. You will clear a path. Then spot treat it with a mixture of glyphosate and 2,4-d with a surfactant added. If your water has a high mineral content add some Ammonium Thiosulfate to the tank before you add the glyphosate.

This is very bad and dangerous advice. A 7k pound trailer (no matter how loaded) would very severely overload this particular pickup.

Trouble being defined as "dead."

I've never understood the fascination with putting liquid in the tires, especially on compact tractors. It corrodes the wheels, makes tires hard, increases the likelihood of punctures and makes repairing punctures more difficult. I keep an implement or a weight box on and I've never had a...

GM is pushing pre-paid maintenance plans as "insurance" that they will honor their warranty. https://www.gmc.com/protection-plans/prepaid-maintenance

A properly maintained full size pickup will last 300k miles (on average). 5 years of your commute will put 100k miles on a vehicle. I don't see how a second vehicle with added insurance, maintenance, payments, and property taxes gets you much advantage, economically. I say pile the miles on the...

Texas is projected to get almost 40% of its power this year from green sources, according to a US Energy Information Administration forecast. That trails California’s 52%, but because Texas is a bigger market, it’s produced more power from renewables (excluding hydropower) than any other state...

Wind, solar and hydro generation produces 20% of US electricity. Wind and solar will account for 60% of added generation capacity in the US this year. Nuclear power plants generate 18% of power with that figure declining rapidly. Five nuclear plants were shuttered in the last two years...

I got the WCBX42S from Titan. It handles everything I need to chip on my 50+ acres. I’ve had it for a couple or three years now and run mountains of limbs through it.

I personally never want to see a Tik Tok video in these forums.

Many times, second/vacation homes aren’t planned, they evolve. None of that would bother me.

Seeing people getting hyped up about stocks that are trading at 100 times earnings reminds me of the dotCom crash. Nobody ever learns. As soon as you hear "analysts" saying "It's different this time.", it's time to head for the exits.

Here's one to kick off summer. Pig 1: I never sausage heat Pig 2: Tell me about it, I'm bacon Have you got any that drove your kids bonkers?

It was here, but it left, and it's 86 degrees now. ☀️
