Sorry to hear this. I was very curious if the owners of the land new about it and didn't mention it to you. I don't see how they could not know, and their timing of selling seems to indicate that they want it sold before it happens so they can get the best price for it. In my opinion...

What are you using to carve the wood with? Back when I had more time to have fun woodworking, I really loved the results I got from a rasp attachment on my Dremel. Now when I do something like that, I tend to use a flapper disk on my grinder.

Looking at the side view of your concrete, I have to say that I'm impressed. That looks fantastic!!! I've never seen trusses that didn't have metal plates on them. These must be some new technology with the finger joints and glue. I really like this style of floor truss for running...

I had a gearbox come apart on my batwing that was replaced under warrantee. The question that I was asked over and over again was if there was any oil in it. Fortunately, I took a picture of it right after it happened and you can see all the oil that came out of it when it came apart...

Once people start screaming, I stop listening. Then I tend to wonder off and find something else to do.

The Lowes that I go to had a forklift guy that was always angry. When he loaded the pallet of concrete onto my trailer, I would signal for him where to stop so it was over the axles and the rear of my truck was sagging just a little. Two times in a row he kept pushing it farther with the...

7 square bales per acre sounds really bad. I've never done hay, but I can't imagine that's worth the fuel to bale it. I'm amazed at how you went from too much moisture to it being this dry!!!

Thank you for all the replies. We feel that giving them away is the way to go. My wife left a message to a Nurse that she used to work with that might be able to use them. If not, I have three more people on my list that I'll contact. Hopefully they will be gone this week.

I wonder why Lake P alistine was blocked from my reply?

Thanks for the link. I’ve never seen one in the wild even though they are fairly common here. I know people they have them in their ponds and have taken pictures of them crossing the roads. I even had one swim by a dock at Lake ********* a few minutes after I was done working on that dock, and...

I'm working myself into the position of having to do at least 4 small pads for different projects. And there will be more to do after these four are done, but these four have to be done fairly quickly. Normally I bring my trailer to Lowes to get a pallet of 60 pound sacks. Once I bought two...

I don't see any rot or issues with the saddles. I also don't see any sign that they have ever been used. The leather under them looks brand new. The bottom one is dirtier from sitting, which I don't understand. It may have been that way when we got them. If the value isn't there to make it...

Did you get an alligator?

I looked up their website and location. They are 9 hours from me and they don't list the price of their trusses. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of the framing and your comments on installing the trusses.

If it wasn't four our wood stove, I'm not sure how we would of survived the big freeze!!!! We had temps down to -14F and the power was out for 6 days. Overall, thanks to our wood stove and generator, it sort of became a fun adventure for us. How do you change the chimney from a gas stove to...
