I'm trying to control muskrats that are burrowing into my ponds. They can really make a mess, and I know if you let them go, you may run the risk of losing a dam. I've got a trap, but don't want to use it for fear of my and our neighbor's dogs getting in it. So far, I've been able to get...

I'm on a rural water system and it gets pretty expensive when I need to water the lawn. So I'm looking for input on what it would take to pump from our 2 acre pond. I'm not trying to create a golf course, but just keep the lawn reasonably healthy (1" per week as is recommended for fescue) when...

Another thread reminded me of a question I've wanted to ask for some time. I've got a Ryobi woodworking table saw which served my needs very well, that is until I killed it trying to do dado cuts too aggressively. I just was taking too large a cut, and would have been fine if I'd just done an...

I've decided to get some pallets to use for storing some of the implements in my version of the "man cave". The barn has a concrete floor, but I'm wondering about steel or rubber or poly wheels. My Most of the attachments will not weigh over 500 pounds, but I may have one or two that will end...

Good Morning, TBN'ers. On our home place (wife's family's farm), we still have what is thought to be the original barn, which is was part of the farm when it was purchased by the family in 1903. We've been trying to get the barn back in usable shape, which is as the old saying goes, "Like...
