I like Tomplum's wisdom, winter is when sunlight is most needed, put house where the max is available and control excess with shade cloth.

Parden the pun but you are using a large brush painting these comments. There's a bunch of difference between spot sand and touch-up vs sand blasting whole thing. You will get recommendations to use 2-part primer and topcoat but imo Rust oleum is best bang for buck. If you are worried about...

Since the root cellar will require aux cooling,the existing room sounds attractive and less work. A room air conditioner will be problematic below 60f. Freeze-ups, short compressor life and poor energy efficiency. If you have working knowledge of refrigeration or have someone that does I'd...

Since I bought a HVLP sprayer 20 years ago, my spray guns have sat on the shelf.

Attempts to tilt balance of nature are seldom successful and most often cause more harm than good. Recent papers have been published regarding "Keystone species" are quite eye opening. I believe you will have more success adopting one or two small terriers to control rodents. It doesn't take...

I've never dealt with Foxtail so I would seek advice of local ag agent. Annuals that grow upright and tall with seed at top can often be controlled by mowing as seed begin to form but before seed ripen. On hay ground, baling earlier or later as the case might be can serve as well. That is to...

My choice would be land plane if soil is easy to disturb or box blade with rippers if soil is hard clay.

I don't have a total for my Ebay purchases over past 20 years but it's normally around $2k annually and I've been 100% pleased. Only twice was I surprised when I saw my purchase and both times seller exchanged at no cost.

It happens to all of us sooner or later. Reminds me of my son's dogs. He has 2 large dogs that help earn their keep by running unwelcome creatures out of the yard. His wife picked up a little Terrier that's full of energy and ready to fight anything from birds rabbits. He said for the first...

So the question you have to ask is whether he does mostly large,high torque fasteners or small but numerous fasteners(the latter for me). Don't be fooled when you see someone using a device to r&r lugnuts, it's probably fuel canister powered and all battery does is supply ignition.

I'm not claiming this to be the answer to your question but since you are interested I think you will find it interesting to read about "keystone species". Over the years I've heard roadrunners blamed for raiding nests of ground nesting birds. Decline of bob white corresponded to increase of...

You and I might be related because that describes me and my grandpa to a tee. Bad news first, all the kings horses and men can not successfully braze the chainsaw muffler. The tiniest bit oxidation/rust makes it imposable to braze and I assure you the muffler has pits that will not grind out...

He uses enough clout to have a plant built wherever he wants it.

🇬🇬🏴‍☠️⛏️🧛‍♂️ Yea I decided to do some grave digging but it's for good cause. Mavrick mentioned (joking) about driving from AL to TX for parts at Hoye so I thought I'd point out that since all the mergers Parts ASAP has several locations now including in MS and GA. I was looking for Kubota Blue...

What you described sounds like burnt contact inside solenoid. Before replacing anything I'd try opening the solenoid to clean contacts.
