What's your winter projects...?

[RexB]

besides plowing snow (we don't have much 'o that here)

The tractor is just begging for a few juicy add-ons like a treelimb overhead protection system (TOPS) and skid plate for the lower hyd filter.

Whatcha'all got going?


And Merry Christmas!

In Catt county the snow takes all your time.

My tractor is pretty much done. Changed the oils and filters, gave it a good pressure washing.
I need to service my truck yet, and put in new vent windows and frames, a power window motor and power door lock motors. Shouldn't take me long to finish that.

Here is my big project for the winter. I bought a 1986 Kawasaki Ninja 600R, all tore apart and in boxes. HOPING I can put it back together over the winter and do some riding next summer.
I have most of the frame, wiring, body panels, radiators, and controls together on so I know where everything goes. I will be starting on the motor soon.

Not so much winter projects as goals for the new year is what I call them.

1. Get my old jeep running.
2. Put my outside access bathroom together.
3. Build my storage shed.
4. Build my gazebo for my front pasture.
5. Move the dirt piles from my back pasture and get it planted in bermuda.
6. Start my food plots.
7. Build a comfortable deer stand for two.
8. New flooring in my home.
9. Build a pasture sprayer.
10.Go fishing with my kids.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

that's waaaayy too much work over the winter


I got the old Ford truck running good this summer and did some clearing & house maintenance. Managed to put off the roof work till next summer. All the projects on your list is scary.

The treestand and fishing with the kids, i can handle

Rex,

After replying to your thread, I got to thinking that I needed to keep it handy if I was to get any of it done. I made it my signature so that I can remind myself of what my goals are for the year. If not, I know I'll get sidetracked!!!

LOL i hear ya'....part of my delayed roof work already bit me. Had to go up in the blowing rain and dig moss out of the skylight seam because it started dripping. Worse yet it was dripping right where I stand to fill my coffee cup!

ROTFLMAO !!!!

OK, that killed me. I can picture myself ignoring the leak, or at least putting it off until it's dry outside. But then if it's in a place that annoys me, like where I get my cup of coffee, and having to fix it right away!!!

That's a lot of work y'all have coming up...mostly done with the major stuff here...when we first bought the place I planned to excavate the swamp and make it a pond, but then the county declared it a wetland so it can't be touched...

But I'm still cutting trails in the woods and after a painful experience decided to add a TOPS to the tractor (treelimb overhead protection system) lol. Just finished...

Cut, heat and shape pipe ends for bolting on

Weld cross pipes and expanded metal top

The ROPS is stronger now with the TOPS bolted on, treelimbs and brush won't get back at me, and the shop is tall enough to drive inside. Added only 40 lbs to the top.

Thanks to y'all for giving me ideas on styles and fabbing
