    Heat Pump Mesh Cover, anyone with experience?

    2 feet from the house is a lot. I'm on my second home with heat pumps, and both, as well as every other one I've seen is less than a foot from house. First home, I built a roof like shown above. It worked well. Given there isn't much you can do about the distance away from house, I'd leave maybe...

    Kioti color spray paint

    Box looks great. Do you have, or can you take some pics of the mounting set up? I tend to obsess with research, and some projects never happen because of it. I really like what you did...

    Tractor Rollover Demo Pictures and Videos

    I had a 1984 Honda three wheeler. It was a ton of fun. We learned its limitations the first day in a sand pit. we learned how important "body english" was in riding them. We rolled, or nearly rolled many times. That is how we learned. We were aggressive riders, and "learned" how to safely...

    Older International 354

    That's the area I grew up in. Cow country. Picked tobacco in Broad Brook and Ellington. Some of the best broad leaf tobacco in country back in the day.

    built a portable/collapsable BBQ table

    I agree on set up and grill. We barely use 1/4 of our grill, but it's a SS Weber, it'll last forever. After 8 years, 6 of heavy use, it still looks brand new... when I clean her up.

    Older International 354

    Sorry, too much going on, forgot pics... Quick look, the mice haven't gotten to any wiring I can see. The pile of stuffing on seat was just put there. Rubber fuel lines look good. It's in a barn, very tight with "stuff" all around. In a better area, I might be able to get it running, physical...

    Medical Cost

    Where we are, East Coast, for profit hospitals are the norm. +++ Pharmaceuticals should not be tied. I relate this to the food service industry from which I am from. As part of a food group company, we were tied to SYSCO for the majority of our products. We assumed our company was getting...

    Medical Cost

    I don't have a problem with employers offering a healthcare plan. It is a benefit to all employees. My issue is with the for profit hospitals. Affordable healthcare starts when people aren't making money off of others health needs. We will never stop the outrageous prescription prices, too many...

    Medical Cost

    I haven't read all 20 pages, but wanted to add something. Hospitals are for profit businesses. I'm not sure how common it is, but on 60 minutes or the like, fund management companies are buying up hospitals, milking the dry, and shuttering. I don't think hospitals should be a money making...

    Weed wacker - extending string life

    Learning a lot here. I only weedwhack every couple weeks, takes about 45 minutes. 3X a year, I do a hill with periwinkle, cutting weeds/grasses/saplings etc. That takes an additional hour or more. Up until I moved here, I never broke a line. Use a ton of it from hitting rocks and such. Up here...
