    Trailer warning, this could happen to you

    A bit of hot melt glue works great on electrical connections. Use it to seal connections on the trailer.

    ^^^^^ That helps with theft also! Allows you to wire the power wire to the brakes!

    Trailer TPMS

    I understand saving some money on things, but is it worth a tire or an accident? They do specials on 10 packs for around $200. I've used them for sensors and valve stems. Have just received a set of metal dually stems for my sensors. Need it to cool off to break the beads and swap them out.

    Trailer warning, this could happen to you

    I've got a wire in all 7 locations on mine. Hopefully, that'll keep them locked in place, but I will check them when I do my annual on it. Good catch and sure that would cause that issue. Never thought how nice it is to have reverse lights on the car trailer!

    Around here, they build those "brick castle" mailboxes in the county/state RW. I know someone that hit one and the owner had to pay for car and injuries! If it's set back on your property, then it would be other way around!

    Old Plow

    I'd get the gallon. You'll find plenty of other items that need a coat. It gives a purplish-black finish without a top coating. (Which isn't needed) I coated the frame of my dually and after I did it a few years back, looked like a new frame! Cleans up easily and environmentally friendly!

    Magic Jack

    I've had Ooma since 2014. As long as you have good internet speeds(not satellite). I have 2 numbers, the one I ported over and another. Brought the unit, monthly taxes $8 - 10 and $130 a year for both lines. That yearly fee gives me more features. Calls can be answered on my cellphone, block...

    I use dog collars from the "dollar" store to keep them wrapped for storage. Could also get small cat/dog collars to keep tails secure. Haven't tried it yet, but next time I'm near a store, I will pick a couple up and try! Another idea would be to use a sock that has worn through at hole or toe.

    Generator Location Question....

    You wouldn't want the generator to be powering your meter! Separate power feed into the transfer box that connects the house.you can put the generator anywhere you would like. There is a cost to choosing a location, as the size conductors need for length of run and size of generator.

    How to fix mountain washout

    Another thing to use to keep water off the trail. Get some used guard rail and lay in trail at angle to catch and shed water off trail. You can use to bolt holes to help anchor it in place. Have seen it used on a few hills with great success! If set right, you can push snow over them without...

    How to fix mountain washout

    As above, you could also stack Sakrete bags and put a T post through them to keep them anchored. Punch other holes in bags to allow moisture to cure them. Have seen them used to make poor man's boat ramp!
