Sounds more like trapping than hunting?

1 shop, some assembly required... :oops: Your profile by your name says tractor: none, but you clearly show a Kubota in the pic. Looks like maybe an L series?

So what do you do with them? Meat? Leather/pelt/whatever you call it? I would think they start to go bad pretty quick in LA heat..

Ha! Was just going to suggest McMaster. Even if you don't know what it is you need, I often start there and learn a lot.

You wouldn't get a contractor to do it for less than $500 and more likely $1000 (or more). Heck, $2k wouldn't really surprise me. Given the relationship and the fact that it was for profit for him, I'd say you were both very reasonable and fair to both of you. I occasionally plow out a...

Our first one self destructed in under a year due to hard water. I didn't get to a softener right away so 4 months of running hard water after we moved in killed it a few months later. We had tons of issues in those first few months with fixtures plugging from hard water deposits precipitating...

You can't beat natural gas as a home energy source. It is so much cheaper than electricity for anything other than possibly a heat pump. In your climate, an air source heat pump is probably a great way to go with nat gas backup, if that is possible. For heating water, only passive solar is...

Making a drawer front continuous like this is pretty easy. Start with a board that is wider and longer than final dimensions for the box. Also helps if it is thicker. Rip a strip off the top and bottom leaving a wide strip in the center for the drawer height. Then cross cut that center piece...

Ah, ya beat me to it! Was gonna say That's One way to split a tractor!

Was probably going for the Moose Tracks ice cream. Thought it contained real mooses

There's a bucket on a cement truck?

I don't think anyone, anywhere has ever uttered THAT phrase!🤣

Several have mentioned it: Surplus Center. It's probably $40 max for a 10' 1/4" hose there. Your choice of NPT or JIC fittings. Worst case you add a couple additional fittings if you need elbows or something.

I was going to mention the commercial vehicle insurance kicking in somewhere around there. At least something to be aware of and ask about. And potential for a CDL or similar license required.
