RK the stair balusters are 14" apart so that kid would have to have a head like the Great Pumpkin to get stuck. We have had this discussion ref baluster width, the cedar baluster rails meet
my code. I built them and I am responsible for any children that might wander up there and stick their pumpkin in them. Kids too young to know better require supervision, not codes.
Ben you are behind...the brass ball "cap" discussion is a page or two back and I am hunting for a more "appropriate" finale to the pole:laughing:
Pacer there is only one way in by car, many ways by foot.
Mike we got almost 5" of rain since Monday. Yesterday the creek went down and I spent 4 hrs in the light rain repairing my 2+ miles of fence. I replaced 40ish broken insulators, T posts that were uprooted and washed 10-20 yards were re-set and all the wire re-spliced. Got up to the house, took a
hot shower and had a whiskey(or two). Heard a loud roar outside, stepped out of the basement door to see an inch of snow on the ground and snowflakes as big as golf balls raining down.
Looked down at the creek to see that it had already re-flooded the pastures:banghead: Tried to call Les to tell her to get home before it was too deep....phones were out. She had already figured it out and arrived 20 min later. I took the Dually across the
fjord, picked her up at the quonset, then tried to get up the driveway...nada...4-wheel drive was zero help so we parked and walked. We got 2+ inches of snow in about an hr & we heard thunder and saw lightning many times:confused3: even though we were socked in.
30 min later the power went out & was down for 19hrs. Hooked up the 25KW PTO generator and ran it for 4 hrs. Smaller 2600 watt genset would not start & I had to take it apart and clean the carb(yes I keep Ethanol stabilizer in the fuel, but I swear this stuff is mutating). Creek was back down again this AM...fence is a wreck I put the BB on the Kioti and smoothed out the 2' deep ruts across the bridge approach. Off to buy more insulators.............& tomorrow I fix fence again:tractor:
