It's been a long time since I've visited this site and posted. I kind of forgot all about it. I'll start visiting more. By the way, I'm much more mellow now. I was reading many of my old posts, and even I think I was a jerk back then. Anyway ... I'm one of 24 semi-finalists trying to...

Re: Craftsman mower problem Yep, that's exactly what I said. Anyone buying a Craftsman, or one of those offered up at at a Home Depot, Lowes, etc. are really just buying junk -- no matter how much they claim that their tractor is great. Can't argue that ... junk is junk no matter what color...

I have spent hours trying to get my tractor to start. Last month I ran pretty low on fuel, and sucked some dirt or something from the tank and it was starving for fuel. I didn't have a new fuel filter at the time, so I just removed the old one, cleaned it out -- filled the tank and then bled...

Has anyone heard from our loyal TBNer's that were in the path of Jeanne? I suspect that the upper east coast and middle portion of the State has had their power out. I hope this is the last one of this hurricane season -- their spirit must be pretty low right now.

Planted trees in 12\" knit bags This weekend I started planting some of my trees that were in 5" knit bags in the field into a 12" knit bag. The root system these bags create is awesome. I picked up my new 12" auger bit last week -- I love it! I planted 21 American Arborvitae, in the next...

It's been about a year since we had to put down our 12-year old Beagle. It was a few rough months for my wife -- she said she never wanted to get another dog again because of the pain this caused her. Well, for about the last few weeks, she has been seriously considering us getting another dog...

Today I pounded in 62 T-Posts -- glad to be done. I am fencing in a 3 acre portion of my property to plant trees in (starting a tree farm). I'm hoping to keep the deer out. I've built a 6' high-tensile fence with 8 wires. I installed wooden posts approx. every 100 feet and put T-posts at...

I found this company called FirstDay Cottages that sell house kits. They sort of resemble timber frame homes, but not quite. Their kits are aimed at the amateur home builder. Those of you that are considering building your own house or guest house may want to take a look at what they have to...

Just an observation and suggestion: I don't know if this is something that some of guys haven't learned yet, or maybe they're just not taking the time to do it. But when you want to quote someone else, it's an easy thing to do to hit the "quote" button. Then you can highlight any and all words...

With the recent posts regarding pumping water out of a pond, I got to thinking about my well. I have no electric on my land, but I have a 300' well that was drilled years ago. Does anyone have experience to tell me if it is possible, or how difficult it would be to install a submersible pump...

Today I started up my Bobcat and heard 3 short BEEPS and my ACS (Advanced Control Systems) light on my instrument panel lit. My lift and tilt now does not work. My manual says to just turn off the engine and make sure the controls are in neutral and re-start. Well, that doesn't help, that...

Waking up this morning and hearing that all of the 9 miners are out and alive just makes me warm all over. It's refreshing to hear of fantastic news, especially with all of the horrible events that have been happening recently.
