    Split rail fence install

    Got almost all the wire fence stretched and attached today. I made me a home made fence stretcher out of a piece of scrap oak and some nails to get it nice and tight and it worked better than I thought it would! :)

    Split rail fence install

    Maybe an electrified top wire? Might catch his family jewels as he crosses... He'd only do it once I'm betting. I know I wouldn't do it twice!

    Split rail fence install

    I also considered a wireless fence but opted to go hard fence for the physical boundary. A few neighbors have wireless fence installs and they seem to work well but as you mentioned, they don't keep other dogs out and mine is pretty much an ******* when it comes to "His" territory. There would...

    Split rail fence install

    Put the tractor and myself to work and installed a split rail fence around a piece of the front yard so the dog could go directly from the front porch to a fenced in area while I'm away and my daughter is house sitting. The dog is territorial, protective, and not friendly towards strangers. He...

    Who rides motorcycles?

    Indeed I am. Life has been bumpy at times but it's been a good ride. :)

    Who rides motorcycles?

    Doesn't matter if it's street, dirt, or track. It's all more fun than anyone has a right to have. Hope I get to keep riding as long as I'm sucking in air.

    Longer bar for Stihl M261 - relative novice.

    Somehow that doesnt come as a surprise that you dont nor that you make a point of it, lol. There are some things I won't buy used but pro level saws are generally a solid deal. They're dead simple to rebuild.

    Anyone have a MechMaxx 3-pt stump grinder?

    Check every bolt. I had some loose cutters, a couple main bearing bolts weren't very tight, and one grease fitting wasn't even finger tight. I don't have an issue figuring out what the cut depth is but I do find sitting side saddle with one arm draped over the back seat and laying on the...

    Push over trees with a small compact?

    Ropes with lots of stretch are great for climber fall arrest or using a rubberband effect to pop stuck vehicles out of mud but I'll stick with the consistency of a stout 3/4" static bull rope with a 5-1 fiddleblock pulley block attached for dropping trees. I use the same set up even if I plan on...

    FEL bucket not level (Horizontally)

    A simple digital angle gauge provides an excellent reference point to check assemblies and is useful for a variety of tasks. I use one for setting saw blades on the table saw and drill bits on the drill press. It's super handy as nothing needs to actually be level to make measurements and...
