What did you buy this week?

[mike0000]

Bought a 6 x 10 dump trailer with fold down sides.

Pictures or it didn’t happen , A dump trailer is something I’ve wanted for quite a while, but like everything it’s more money than I’m willing to part with. My RTV has a hydraulic dump bed but with the sides I’ve added to the bed the front end gets light with a full load.

Cable company finally finished the line on our road so I got 1 gig internet installed today.

I’m on a dead end county road with maybe 12 homes, never thought I’d see “cable” come to our house. 2-3 years ago Spectrum ran fiber optics to all of us, what a happy day that was.

Power co-op had been doing pole replacement, and Comcast has been doing a route check. Im 90% sure the power pole work, is "make ready" work for the Comcast build. Im 80% happy with Tmobile cell internet, and its cheaper; so im a bit torn on if I would hook up. It's always cheaper to hook up on the build phase, then add at a later date. Just their route planning; they need to go about 1300 lf to pick up 3 homes...

If i ever poured a new garage floor or parking ribbon id go minimum 6”. Im so sick and tired of concrete cracking.

If i replace the slab where i park my tractor, its going to be 6” with steel plates that allign with tires so the chains wont damage concrete.

I actually spoke with a civil engineer I work with yesterday, half joking, that being in the profession, some times we over build things out of habit/used to a commercial/road spec. I wasnt talking to him about my parking pad, we were talking about another project, and I showed him pictures. One of the other guys pointed out, thats 5.5", not 6", "red tag that one".

They came this spring and replaced poles here first to allow clearance when the cable was attached. I was ok with our cell internet but the upload speed was iffy for my wife’s zoom meetings. Plus this is cheaper. USDA gave grants for our rural area for them to build out.
