I use a $12,000 lift (my tractor) and $2 worth of siphon hose

Put the container in the FEL and lift.

I’d need more than $2 worth of hose, my filler is on the back fender.

I went out to the shop and started cutting some metal for the welding cart.... then I remembered that I saved the old frame from the gas grill....mmmmm.
Went over to the scrap pile and eyeballed it to see if it would work.... it would surprisingly well...

So, made a frame for around the bottom, welded on the 4" casters, then set the grill frame over and welded those together. Measured for the top frame, cut the angle iron and welded that all together. Painted up all the new metal, letting it dry overnight. The shelves on both ends have notches to hold barbecue tools.... they will work perfectly to hold the torches.

Originally I was going to cut off one of the shelves, but realized I could cut out a circle and use it to hold the Argon tank upright. It's heavy plastic so really easy to do! It's secured from the bottom with big plastic knobs / bolts, so easy to remove for tank changes.

I saved a bunch of time, materials, and was able to repurpose some old scrap.... I still have to clean the shelves up a bit, but will turn out nicer than what I was originally planning. Here's a couple of " in progress" pics.

Yep, mine is behind the seat at the level of the armrest... about 5' off the ground... hard to lift and hold that 5 gal can at head level....

Me too. no point in lifting something when you've got the means right beside you

Got everything mowed, was just going to do along creek and back hill, and just kept going.
Put riding mower in garage to remove transmission. Had to charge battery some to get it started.
Got trash out to the curb.
Showered and now watching baseball.

Sadamo, my Apple Watch reminded me that today is National Park day! They are giving away awards for walking a mile today (and it does not have to be in a park). Whip and I are going to hit the creek trails as soon as the temp falls below 95˚F to snatch up that award! :drink:


Severed and removed a foot section of 5 big roots from my root barrier trench 100˚F, Arrg. Picked a instant pot full of okra - time to make the gumbo.

69F and "fair" @ 21:00, headed down to a low of 59F apparently.

Got mowing done on compost/wood lot, then removed MMM and put on FEL and box blade and swapped out the bucket for pallet forks and unloaded capstone for retaining wall from van which I forgot was still in there.

Then got cleaned up, loaded up tools, and headed out for hosta removal party. Got almost all of it removed from around their propane tank. There's more there (a lot) if we want it ... along with other stuff.

Came home with a veritable crap load of it ... and a 2' tall ginkgo tree ... :thumbsup:

Hope everyone had a great day.

Shyeah, right ... you da man ... :thumbsup:

RS, sounds like your getting the landscaping project close to wraps...

Not even close ...

Indeed we have ... still miles and miles to go though ...

Nice repurpose on the grill ... :thumbsup:

... RS, glad your sting is better.

Thanks Kyle.

It's still itching ... I just tried some hydrocortisone cream on, will see if that does anything for it ... :confused3:
