Good thing you included the dog, their love is unconditional. I am still struggling to be the man my dog thinks I am . . .

No different than a modern car - everything goes through a control module (computer). Honking the horn is no longer a switch, a relay and power source. If you want to add new OEM stuff, you need get the BCM reflashed, no big deal. Our JD dealer has given us all the programming and resources we...

So if you hire me to re-roof your house and I break three windows during the tear-off, it is not my fault? Would you be so understanding? And for what it is worth, transmission fluid and most every other liquid used in a vehicle will damage asphalt - they are solvents which destroy the asphaltic...

Now if they were made in England you could try that Lucas OEM Smoke in a Bottle that we use in British sports cars when the wiring system starts to leak its smoke. Still available at most BMC dealers.

Just learned the hard way that the super fantastic low viscosity automatic transmission fluid from Mobil One developed for the GM 8 and 10 speed trannys - you know that $85 per quart stuff, does not use the old foil seal. Go ahead, ask how I know. When they say low viscosity they men it - stuff...

We have 640 acres in NE Indiana with 41 acres being native woods. My wife's mother bought the property in 1946 so we have a pretty good record of what happened and why. While the 41 acres is not swamp or overtly wet, it was/is too wet to have been cleared and farmed. When we bought the land 45...

Best post in the first four pages. Retired state fire marshal here and I agree with everything you have stated. My only add would be to refer to the University of Colorado - Boulder and Colorado State university for information on Wildlife/Urban Interfaces and how to mitigate fire damages and...

I did not say it could not be done, rather it SHOULD not be done. Then again, I am only a structural engineer who believes in doing it right and not covering up bad work with band aids. Not saying there is not a place for practical experience just that it needs to be tempered with science and...

It appears that aircommuter is talking about relief valves for the hydraulic circuit, not the individual valves. In another life I was a marine engieer in commercil fishing. all our valves had built in reliefs that functioned when the valve was actuated. when in the neutral position the relief...

No. That metal has yielded past the point of 'strain hardening' and should not be considered for anything other than an anchor. New metal in the form of a manufactured bracket is the only proper answer.

Too many variables here for anyone to even speculate as to what you really want. How is the building constructed? Of what is the structure constructed? Wood? Steel? Sounds like you are wanting an exterior fire resistant door? Why? Is there another building close-by? Why do you want an interior...

Is that your land? If so, you can prevent this scenario. If not, buy the dirt or live with the consequences . . .

How quickly they forget. Jimmy Carter did have solar panels installed on the White House roof. They were removed by Reagan. Bush II had panels installed at the maintenance facility in 2003 and ***** had panels reinstalled at the White House in 2013.

Technically in the eyes of the IRS yes, you are now a farmer. Do not skip over that Schedule F when doing your taxes or forget to return that Census of Agriculture every year. There are some very interesting benefits to being a farmer but I will leave it to you to discuss them with your...
