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...

Skunks have six shooters, I wouldn't want to bet they fired their last shot. How Many Times Can a Skunk Spray? | Cuteness Not sure about other states, but pretty sure it is illegal to relocate a skunk in MN. They need to be dispatched.

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...

Here is PDFs of my first project. I think I must have about 12 to 15 hours into it. This is the first time I ever used it. I would love to "master it" but I know that will never happen. For my uses I don't think I will ever need that level of expertise. It is satisfying to see the project on...

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...

this is really getting frustrating. Wife called the tech guy again today, he said he did "something" at the office and let him know if it helped. Well it did not. Hard to respond to my own thread as the connection is so bad I usually get kicked off before I can reply.

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...

Thanks for the link. According to the chart galvanized and zinc covered metal corrosion is considered insignificant.

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.

Not shooting either in my house. Outside is another story. He was in the process of procreating so I was able to get pretty close. I would have preferred to get the female (both really), but he had her covered up pretty good.

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...
