So I got my Harbor Freight 3500 generator. I would like to build a dedicated generator shed to store it close to the house and protect it from the elements and for ease of use. I have seen online were people have built small sheds with vents and a fan so they can run it in the shed during bad...

As I stated in an earlier post I am new to Sketchup. I was watching U-tube this morning and clicked on one about what was new in Sketchup 2018. The biggest change is the free version will no longer be available as a download. They have went to a web based program. Also with the web based program...

I just started using sketchup and have some of the basics down. Now looking for recommendations for useful plugins.

With retirement only a couple of years away I am looking for something to do on a part time basis. I have been to arboristsite.com site and have read a number of threads over there. I am not a member so I could not post any questions. Some say they can make some OK money doing it while others...

Been a long year, but finally got moved. Unfortunately the place we moved to have very poor internet. We only have Frontier available for a land based internet. I was excited when they said I would have connections of up to 40 mbs. The problem is the connection is very poor and we get kicked off...

Sold my home and should be closing on my new property in a couple of weeks. Had a water test done but it does not say what the hardness of the water is. Just wondering if this is a separate test or can it be determined from the supplied information? Here is a snipe of the water test results;

First off I want to make it clear I am NOT asking anyone for medical advice. I have a doctor and a cardiologist. I am merely asking for personal experience with the disease. About a year ago I was diagnosed with CHF, my ejection factor was 30% one test and then 35% on another. When they told...

This is the bolt that is on my trap-setter, was wondering what grade of bolt it is. I did search the internet but was not able to find a marking like it.

OK, some of you may have seen my post on squirrels in the attic. So far so good, although I have seen evidence they are trying to get back in. I have ordered a half a dozen 110 conibear traps and one 220. I have watched a good share of videos on U-tube on how to trap. Since I have not trapped...

Any advice on removing a red squirrel from the attic. The wife heard something in the attic the other night, I went up to investigate and did see a small red squirrel up there. It is most likely the one that was in the chicken coop earlier this fall. I do have a live trap set up with peanut...

Thinking about getting some meat chickens next year. Was looking at homemade chicken pluckers on U tube. They don't look that complicated. My concern is the bottom plate, was wondering what I could use for that. I went to the whiz bang site and they sell a kit, but the thing is like 425.00...

I want to drill a hole at the end of one of my forks to mount a trailer ball from time to time to move my trailers around. I do have a drill press but do not have a 3/4" drill bit. This is a real fork not the soft steel some of the economy models are made of. I was wondering if a cheap flea bay...

I was recently contacted by a logging company interested in buying my standing red pine, I am guessing it may be 15 acres of the forty I own. The other 35 is mostly poplar and willow. For those of you that have either sold timber or purchase timber I was wondering what I could expect; as far...

I was in bed and the wife woke me up to say that we didn't have any water. The first thing I was thinking was a frozen water line; but then it really hasn't been that cold. I will have to check in the morning but thinking the pump may have died. I did a search on here on pump replacement and...

Was having trouble with my three point not going all the way down, this spring it stopped working all together. With winter coming on finally brought it to a repair shop about three weeks ago. He is not a Cub dealer, just an independent guy that works out of a shop. I got the tractor back...

The other day my control valve started to leak. It turned out to be leaking from an allen screw. I tightened it up and it stopped leaking, but now I am wondering if by tightening the allen screw if it made any type of "adjustment" to the loader hydraulics.

When we moved to our current house a little over four years ago, the wife wanted to buy lake property again; myself, I have had enough of it as we owned lake property for over ten years and lived on the lake for about the last three. To many regulations and close neighbors. We ended up...

OK, so I put up a tent shed to house my tractor last fall. Located close to the house so I would have electric to plug in the tractor, with plans on moving it this summer after I take a couple of trees down by my other shed (no room for tractor in that one). Now the problem, I placed it to...

I would like to add a Wi Fi outlet that I can plug my tractor into. I did a short search on the internet and saw some Wi Fi plug in outlets. I was wondering if those would handle the 1500 watts of a block heater. It would be nice to be able to "plug" my tractor in while I was still at work so I...

Purchased a tent type shed to house my tractor. The poor girl has been sitting outside for the last four years since I moved here. The shed is 12 wide X 24 long X 10 feet high. My issue is how do those of you that have them unzip and zip the opening? I thought of adding a rope to the zipper to...

Glow plugs are not working. I checked the glow pugs and they are showing 12.6 volts, which my internet search shows they should show they are good. While trying to pull off the wire clip the cover of the relay came off. If I manually trip the relay the light comes on and will stay on until I...

I am looking for a hesston round baler 5800 service manual. It is for a friend of my daughter and son-in-law. Anyone know were I can get a pdf copy of one?

Just had my septic tank pumped. We have been in the house about 2 1/2 years now and this is the first time we had it pumped. I do not know how long it had been since the last pumping. The only access for the pumper was a 4" PVC pipe. I was at work when it was pumped, the guy told the wife we had...

I have a shed in the back part of my property (about 1,000) feet or more from my house. There is no electrical on that part of my property. The shed is old (but sound) about 12 X 40. No windows and two doors. This is not a typical machine shed, it was build about two feet off the ground with a...

There has been much talk on the corrosiveness of calcium chloride on this forum. My tire on my mower went flat over the winter. Since it had been sitting flat for a while I could see the tire was shot. I used my log splitter to break the bead to remove the tire. My tire was filled with calcium...

I have been dealing with a frozen shoulder since before Christmas. I have been going through therapy without much, if any improvement. I went to the doc today to discus my options, I have decided to have surgery next Friday. I was told this is a twenty minute procedure preformed under general...

Currently have a Northern leader wood furnace, was thinking about upgrading to a new EPA wood furnace or even a wood boiler. Has anyone upgraded to the newer wood furnaces or changed over to a wood boiler? New wood furnace looks like it would be about 4 grand and if I went with a new outdoor...

How do you guys keep your well pit from freezing? This is the first house I have owned that has a pit. My other houses I had, the pressure tank was in the house. I plan on getting some straw to put over the top of the pit. I did see the previous owner had an extension cord running to the pit...

Here is the link to the other manual I was talking about. 323 pages, 93mb. The snip is the models it covers. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25809725/Cub%207305/Copy%20of%20Cub_Cadet_7000_Series_Compact_Service_Repair_Manual.pdf

Here is a link to a copy of the owners manual for 700 series cub tractors. I looked to see if this was copyright copy. I did not see were it stated that, so I assume it would be a free copy you would have got when you purchased the tractor new from the dealer. I will leave this up for awhile...

Just read the thread of the barn razing cleaning up the past. I am looking at purchasing a piece of property with an old barn that collapsed just this winter from the snow load. The barn is about 60 X 120 I think. Talking to my mortgage broker he said he did not think a loan would be approved...

I was just wondering how far most of you commute to work. My commute is 90 miles one way, yep 180 miles a day. I do have the farthest commute of those I work with, however, one has about 77 miles one way, two have about 60 miles one way, one 40 something, one about 20 and the other three live...

Sisters boy friend, gave me some forks off an old fork lift. I wasn't home at the time and told him to unload them with the tractor, (It was the whole assembly and pretty heavy). This was Tuesday, went out to the shed this morning to change oil in the tractor and mount the snow blower (yep...

I have been lurking for a couple of weeks now, just joined today. When I join a new forum my first post is explain your username as a way to introduce myself. On another forum I frequent someone started a similar thread and you find out some interesting things about people. I will start...
