Here's about the only shot I've got of my "mezzanine" on my phone. I built some stairs and a 2-level loft that primarily serves as extra attic space. I've thought about flipping the stairs around, moving that work bench on the back wall to the right wall, and then building a 10x10 office or...

My latest build has been a 32x12 goat barn with a sloping roof 7'-9'. I've basically built it up from buying leftovers and culls at the lumberyard. I had some sheet metal leftover from my barn build, but now I've got to pick up the rest that I ordered. Here's a few pics of my progress...you can...

Here's a funny parody of the fox song...tractors included. http://youtu.be/vyMv4kkSCvk

While surfing you tube videos I had to see the Redneck Log Splitter video. Wow, this is a huge accident waiting to happen. I know annually there are lots of farming accidents and its bc of cockamamey ideas like this one....check it out. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=40sCGb678sQ

Im not sure if this is the best place to post the question, but its the place on TBN that I visit the most and value everyones opinion. What are everyone's preferences on smart phones? I need a good tractor-worthy smart-phone that is rugged & dependable for everyday use. I work indoors but am...

Finally finished the project just in time for a bit of rain. Whew, close call.

Got head wall formed up and in place a few days ago. We bought a pallet of Quicrete (42 bags) and got to work on the mixing.I ended up forming the endwall and poured it a few hours later. Im gonna be sore tomorrow. We had a semi-load of material brought out to use for filling around the...

Has anyone ever constructed a concrete headwall for a tinhorn? I've got an 18" tinhorn that is at the end of a 800' dowhill drainage ditch that dumps into my creek. The water has caused the end of the bank to slough off and into the creek. We have put in a 24' tinhorn and are building the area...

We put in an Elite opener by Liftmaster with a solar setup. Keypad on the outside & inside. We have trees surrounding our driveway and had to run the wire to the solar panel about 50' away after we found the initial setup didnt get enough light to fully charge. This one has 2 batteries and the...

I had an Elite model by Chamberlain/Liftmaster put in this past spring. Complete solar setup with keypad in & out of the gate and 3 clickers in the car. Rated for 1 million+ actuations and still going strong at the company headquarters. Here's a couple of pics...

So I was brushhogging this AM and found my way onto a near flush-cut eastern red cedar stump (hard as he$#) and then my BH started making an odd noise. Looked underneath only to see one blade hung up on the pan. Couldnt free it in the field so had to flip it over and remove the pan. Turns out...

Here is a pic of some progress. I tried the middle buster which performed great. I had to modify my SS point b/c it didnt extend far enough beyond the base of the frame. When lowered, it just sat on the surface rather penetrate the ground. I just drilled a hole close to the end amd spun the...

Well the point didnt fit so I just bought some 3/8" flat bar and cut a point for myself.

We had a strong thunderstorm drop 8+" of rain back in May and it caused our creek crossing under our driveway to flood. Our downstream side of ourtin horn's wingwall also started to erode away. I realized that we are getting all of our neighbors water off his land, onto ours and down our...
