    What water bottle do you have?

    In the house I keep a large wide mouth Nalgene bottle in the fridge. Away from the house I use a Yeti that was a door prize gift. I doubt i would by another one as the bottom of the cup keeps trying to separate. I think project Farm did a video on tumblers.

    Backhoe Cylinder Rebuild Questions

    I remove the gland nut while cylinder is still attached. Some cylinders it's not a big deal to leave the cylinder on while removing the piston/rod. Remove the hose from each port. I have JIC caps and plugs to minimize oil mess. I've pulled the rod/piston out with a comealong. I once had a...

    Towable boom lift

    Last fall I rented a Haulotte 45 (wasn't used much) and then a 35 which barely reached what I was doing on my cabin build. The annoying thing about the Haulotte was you had to press two buttons and pretty much can't combine functions. My experience has been with mostly Genie lifts in an...

    The day the music died.

    CJ Snare, singer for Firehouse dead at 64. Stage IV colon cancer. I saw them many years ago in a club about an hour from me. Very solid show for such a small venue. I was going to see them at an area fair last year but didn't go at the last minute. FIREHOUSE Singer CJ SNARE Dead At 64

    A timber frame cabin memoir

    Small town lumber yard has beat the DIY stores like Advantech OSB for example but worth a shot. I went to a bigger town to talk to Meeks lumber (chain). I thought he would quote the 3 exterior doors too but not sure why he didn't. Also the place where I got my OSB is closer (smaller town) and I...

    A timber frame cabin memoir

    I just got a quote from the lumber yard for Andersen windows 100 series(?) Just over 12K yikes. I knew it would be high but not that high. So I was thinking of removing the rear corner windows completely and then replacing the 2 center trapezoid windows with 2 standard opening windows. It saves...
