So last fall my wife bought me a boat. So now it time to assemble and go fishing Thats RC fishing! Anyone try this? There are some cool youtube vids out there

Dave, Yes big chucnks is an understatment. Oh I guess that I forgot to post pictures of the completed bridge. some things are just worth the wait.

This are pics of the equipment that we used They are random shots between the two day's the we dug. a very modest guess on the amount of dirt that we moved would be about 1800 yards. tomorrow I will spread the pile of dirt that you see the machine walking down. the last picture is from the...

Eddie you are right about the 1 x 4's that is what I was referring to. The strapping will give strength and as long as you double row nail the shingles and lap the seams it will be great. Another option would be to sheath it with 3/8" x 1" cedar like a canoe. I just don't find OSB to be nice to...

Thanks NS Heres a few more pictures of the pond .The ice is half out! what a difference 3 weeks make.

A few pictures of my frozen Pond. The wind mill keeps this area open year round. I will be adding a second air stone this summer. Maybe a few ducks as well.

Well it been about ayear and I thought that I should add a picture. The windmill works great and did keep some open water all winter. This picture was taken last weekend by my sister in law. Eddie, I'm so sorry that I didn't answer your question last year. Ipad so frustrating. now back on a PC...

Well I do like having the larger fish to catch. So the windmill has arrived. Crate weight 275lbs. Here are some pics. 5 hrs into assembly.

Can anyone help identify this fish? I just ordered the 20' windmill aerator from Tractor Supply. Anyone have one and do you like it? I hope to receive it in 2 weeks.

Thank you PH Here are some shots of the frame being set in place. It's just going to rest there till spring thaw. It has 3' of crown as shown. The two ends will be burried at least a foot into the earth.

Here's a a few pictures. I took the chainsaw and checked the thickness of the ice. 14" good and solid. So the Island top was even with the top of the ice.

Time for an update. I had the opportunity to have a mini excavator at the pond so we added about 300 more sq ft. My son moved the dirt with the Massey and I dug with the mini. I dug the hole down to 12' from water level. Time was runnig out on the mini so then we broke the holding wall and...

Hi all, The 1260 now has 480 hrs. The other day I was driving and it seemed that the power assist was lost. I checked the fluid and it was good. You can see the fluid move in the reservoir tank. It still has a little assist but not like before. Do I go after the steering box and check for a...

Welcome DmFahie, If you have the tools you could fab a simple frame and add grating or wire mesh. Then fab a hook to go over the top lip of the tractor bucket. Drive up tilt, lift and drive to the curb. Phil
