    What do you all do to be prepared for long term power loss?

    For years, I relied on my little Honda generator that puts out 13 amps. It's enough to power the TV, the computer, some lights and phone chargers. But not much more. Last year I got a duel fuel 10,000 watt Challenger generator with an electric starter. We used it for the first time...

    Help Me Design/ Build a Shop

    I bought two sections of this type of scaffolding almost two decades ago. The wood platform was so thin that I could feel it bending while I stood on it, so I replaced it with 3/4 plywood. Huge improvement!!! I don't have the outriggers, but at the height I use it at, I haven't had any...

    Ireland

    I had to do a search on why people kiss the Blarney Stone. "According to Irish folklore, people kiss the Blarney Stone to receive the gift of eloquence and persuasiveness. The stone is said to have been built into the battlements of Blarney Castle by Dermot McCarthy, king of Munster, in 1446...

    Long term planning of selling your home?

    I would defer to the realtor on the ceiling. Lots of homes have it, and lots of homes are going to still have it decades from now. Most people don't like it, but I've never heard of a sale not happening because of it. I've been hired by clients to remove it, but I've never had a Realtor...

    Hay Ride Wagon Build

    My first thought after watching your video is that you need a BIGGER tractor!!!! That wagon makes your tractor look like a little toy. :) I think you need the stairs to be permanently attached to the wagon. You don't want to rely on somebody putting them in place for an elderly person to...

    My Industrial Cabin Build

    In my experience, it's worth whatever the effort and expense that it takes to trench a line to another building!!!!!!! You are going to be there for a very long time. Run power to the barn.

    Long term planning of selling your home?

    In my previous post, I wasn't as clear as I think I should of been when I said that the money you spend fixing the house up to sell will not add to full amount when you actually sell the house. I also said that what you put into the house will also cause the house to sell faster. Sitting on...

    Beekeeping

    Random thought. Do you have to wear your protective gear while driving the bees from place to place? If so, what are the reactions to people that see you on the road?

    Long term planning of selling your home?

    I've only worked on homes in California and Texas, so this might not apply to your home and your area. Almost every dollar that you spend on fixing up a home will only increase the value of that home by a percentage of that dollar. You will be lucky to get .50cents more out of the house for...

    Ireland

    I enjoy Guinness when it's cold out, but it's pricey. We have a Texas beer here called Shiner Bock that is cheaper and tastes better. If I ever go to Ireland, I would enjoy seeing the Guinness Brewery. What's funny, is that for most of my life, I didn't realize that the Guinness Book or...

    Help Me Design/ Build a Shop

    Love the ladder setup!!! I usually just rent a lift when doing things like that for clients. It's not just the safety issue, it's so much faster to get it all done too.

    Massey Ferguson 4707 Fuel Tank removal

    I have a 2022 4707, so I'm curious about this. Have you talked to your dealer? There is a Face Book Group called "Massey Ferguson 4700 Global Tractors" that has several Dealers on there that offer advice on Codes and repairs. It doesn't hurt to join that Group and ask your question there.

    Scag died

    I have a 2010 Scag Wildcat with a 26hp Kawasaki engine. First couple of years it was flawless. Then the safety switches started acting up and it wouldn't start until I figured out which one it was and either bypassed it, or replaced it. This just got worse and worse. Eventually I pulled...
