Ran across something I thought some of you could use.

Hey everyone, A friend of mine has a BX with the Curtis cab. He just ordered the windshield wiper but it came with no instructions nor hardware on how to mount the motor. Does anyone have an idea as to the proper way to mount it? What hardware and gasgets are needed. We were hoping to get...

OK, here's an off the wall one. A couple of us are looking at/considering purchasing a cold-war era communications bunker/bomb shelter. To cut to the chase (so you don't need to read the details below) is what would one do with it? We toured the place for the first time yesterday. Here's...

I am looking for some spray paint to paint one of those 10x20' white tarped carports. I had some military OD green spray paint in the past I used for painting other things and really liked that the spray came out closer to a garden hose than the fine mist you get out of other spray cans. Since...

Deck Clogging </font><font color="blue" class="small">( Can't figure why clippings are clinging to the underside of the deck now.)</font> BeachBum, Welcome to TBN! A skim coat of clippings on the deck is pretty much normal. When they stack on top of each other, that's normally a sign of...

Mrs. Zoom (and I) have had it with the European cars (Audi & Mercedes in particular) as it seems that you'll assume the equivalent to a monthly car payment just in maintenance. I've always been a Honda fan (and Mrs. Zoom likes her Odyssey) and we're now looking at either a Honda or Acura to...

When Mrs. Zoom isn't around, I use the dishwasher and clothes washer for cleaning things from the shop/building. Works very well when you pick the right machine. My favorite is the dishwasher. Glasses/goggles, hand tools, beverage "koozies" (or whatever you call those foam insulator things)...

What\'s a decent corn crib worth? A friend of mine has a corn crib he no longer wants/needs and is going to sell. He has someone interested but doesn't know what it may be worth. It's a round crib, probably 20' in diameter with caging almost as thick as a pencil. I think it's about 8-10' tall...

What are some things to think of/consider? I started a thread awhile back about turning farm land into a entertainment area ( Here is the link). We're having our first event in a couple weeks. We're expecting hundreds of people for a full weekend. Can you think of any discreet things we may...

Mrs. Zoom would like the garage door of the house changed from the chocolate brown it is now to something similar to the color in this pic. (Pic is of building jjcc246 built in this thread). I figure painting it in place will be a bugger (getting between all the panels and such) but still...

New \"Daylight Savings Time\" With the new energy bill, it looks like we're going to get an extra 6 weeks of daylight savings time starting in '07. For our neighbors to the north (Canada), has there been any talk of doing the same or are we going to be on different time zones with you during...

Can someone enlighten me on how they work, are they worth it...

I have a 550 gallon fuel tank that I haven't been using so I'm going to sell (pic attached). The problem I'm having is finding similar tanks so I can get an idea on pricing. Google and e-bay turned up no useful info. Can anyone give me an idea of what it's worth (or what I should ask for it)...

A friend of mine is working on an initiative to turn approximately 200 acres into a recreation/entertainment area. Is primary theme would be Old West as he intends to have an old west style town built. He's thinking the primary use would be for reenactments (not just old west) but it...
