its skirting from the bottom of home to ground. I have seen people use brick, concrete blocks and they will usually have vents built into them. Personally I was going use metal from a old roof tear off. Just keep critters out and knock down wind chill.

I had the whole cabin sprayed with open cell foam. I only have plumbing in one section of cabin. Im thinking of just underpinning that area. It not being underpinned has helped out on widelife staying under there. Located in south west Arkansas so doesnt get single digit cold.

I built a 480 sq foot cabin back in 2008 on some family land. I never had it underpinned, would just winterize it in the winter. Last year my wife and I moved in it and this year we added another 500sq foot room. The insurance company is wanting me to underpin it. I dont have a problem with...

I got this old welder from a friend. Of course I’m trying to understand how to read this chart on the side of it. I took this photo off Lincoln’s website. I’m looking at getting a couple rods. 6013 and 7018. My first question does these two rods come in various sizes. Like 3/32, 1/8, 5/32. I’m...

I’m thinking about using some mesh panel welded to 1” square tube. Probably be this winter before I can start on it.

Here are the wire connectors and I have them zip tied up. That doesn’t stop sticks from hitting them and ripping wire out. I’m going have to come up with some protection. It’s bush hogging and I will run over 1-2” brush. I would love to have a skid steer but not in the budget. I do have a heavy...

I have been broke down twice now because of brush hitting the wires that run underneath the NH workmaster 70 tractor I have. I mean what were they thinking when running those wires there open to anything. Has anybody designed a protective box to bolt under each floorboard on right and left side...

Today was last day to work on tractor before I pulled it out of woods and on a trailer headed to dealership. After checking all switches with volt meter or jumping them. I started taking the big grey connectors apart below left side floorboard and spraying them with contact cleaner. I then would...

Hopefully this helps someone down the road. That switch in photo with yellow band is neutral safety switch.. You have a sensor under seat that’s easy to get to. You have a two sensors below the pto linkage and the one that pto linkage depress is safety switch. I really don’t know what the switch...

Can someone tell me if this works s the neutral safety switch? It’s the yellow piece. If so what would you jump it with a paper clip?

Pto is off. Could I not just jumper the neutral safety switch? Can someone specifically tell me where neutral safety switch and pto switch are?

I was using tractor bushhogging yesterday in some gum bushes and it just died. Will not crank and I have no idea where the safety switches are at. There was a bush hung up under the left foot pedal and there are some wire looms hanging down but no wires seem to have been pulled out. I have...

I’m going have to check on manure. I would have better luck finding chicken litter. Personally I don’t know of any cow or horse operations big enough to sell manure from.

Well I got the time because I have just relocated to the small town I grew up in. I’m trying out and finding the problems with an older dump truck I purchased. Then I’m going use the older dozer I bought to spread all this sawdust out. Probably go a foot deep. Time is no problem on waiting for...

Yes it’s my gravel pit and yes diesel is very high. We don’t have a lot of top soil in my area. Hardwood mill is about 10 miles one way so 20 miles round trip. Just trying to make that gravel pit less of an eye sore.
