    Forty Grand? For a Stove?

    We would have cancelled the order long ago, but there was nothing else similar. We were close to settling for a regular electric stovetop instead of the induction, but by then the price increases meant we would be paying more for that than what we planned to pay for this induction model. That...

    Forty Grand? For a Stove?

    I haven't been posting on here for quite some time, but today I remembered this thread and thought I'd update my posts in it. What started as a 4 week ETA to get this range, has now been 115 weeks. Yep, One hundred and fifteen weeks, and we still do not have it, BUT we got word that it is now...

    Y'all Been Checkin' Lumber Prices?

    It is going up, but that chart doesn't reflect the reality of it. Change the time frame of the chart to look at a one month window.

    Y'all Been Checkin' Lumber Prices?

    Glue and Biscuits. I like it! With all the flour in the gravy, it sometimes comes close to wallpaper paste. And then there's the old saying my mom loved to use when serving comfort food like sausage gravy and biscuits, "It sticks to your ribs". 😋

    Road base / crusher run has too many fines. Mixing #56 or #57 with road base to fix

    I use a mix with a lot of fines (411), and then top dress with a light coat of #8. That gives a good tight base that repels water and has the clean 8's on top. Best of both in my case.

    Zero Turn Tires

    15 years using AT101 for me too. I also had a set of 22 MAG tires on one of my Grasshoppers. They are a little more aggressive than the Carlisle bar tires, and slightly larger diameter. As someone else said, the bar tires provide much better traction but if care isn't taken they can dig fast...

    Fry the egg in butter, and add a slice of cheese and a few dashes of Tabasco. Breakfast lunch or supper, it's the perfect meal.

    Cover crop Winter Rye, dies after two weks

    We use oats which will grow this time of year too, and they die out mostly with a winter freeze. Rye does really well but it does grow aggressively the following spring, so keep that in mind if you intend to seed with something else then.

    My new pressure washer is haywire. Helllllp

    Water on and wand trigger depressed is what works to relieve pressure. I did have an issue with mine this year though, almost exactly as you described. Water was flowing through wand with trigger pulled, but was a small stream. Nearly ripped my arm off. My son tried till his arm gave out...

    Hydro is slang for electricity? The next thing you know, you'll be calling ham "bacon"! ;)

    Super Duty Lead Times

    They say reduce, not eliminate dealer stock piles. That will allow dealers to turn product quicker so they might not object.

    Answer me this...

    A few years ago I was in TX on business with several women co-workers. We went out to a steak place one night and when the waiter finished taking all of our orders, he said "you're not from around here are you?". I asked if he knew that due to our "Ohio accents", but he said no it was because...
