I have a friend that lives between somerset and London. Just texted them and all is fine at their place. The are at a higher altitude, maybe that helped them.

On May 8 I ordered 3 small engine parts. I also paid for 2 day shipping. Thinking i could receive them Saturday or Monday. Tuesday night I still didn't have them, I emailed the company 'where are my parts'. This morning Wednesday, email from them 'third parts is on 1-2 week back order - do you...

During my Army days, used to warm up lunch on the engine of the jeep in the Kansas winters.

I think you need 10 spigots. If you want to start with one in each corner. Dark blue being a spigot light blue being coverage.

My wife's B6100 started leaking coolant at the front of engine. I found the leak to be from the Dinamo mount. After 55 years the aluminum base corroded. Not an easy to replace part.

I had one with a loader. It did not look anywhere near as good as that one. And it had about 2500 hours on it. I sold it to a mechanic at the dealer where I bought the BX23s. My wife has a B6100.

I thought I saw a hummingbird fly around the area outside my breakfast room window Saturday morning. So yesterday I cleaned up a feeder and made up some liquid. And today one came to visit. In past few years we only get maybe 4 - 5 birds. So we will wait to see how many we get this year.

It was a fun few days. Have not visited with either of them for close to year. Younger brother lives on Long Island n.y. and I'm in N. Georgia No wives around. Alot of work but it was good time.

Took my small mill on a trip to my brother's house in Alachua, Fl over the weekend. He had three red oaks blow down in a storm a few months ago. We Milled 6 - 8' logs. I talked to him today and he has restacked and stickered the lumber in a area that gets more air flow. Another brother showed...

I've never used one or heard of it. But 10 feet would not be enough for me to walk around a car with a spray gun comfortably.

Scott - those peices look beautiful.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. They may not be perfect , but they are from my trees. A lot of time. A few extra toys ( I mean tools). And a happy wife. I'm working on this one. Disassembly some more sanding and some urethane......

Daughter-in-law wanted this for Christmas. To put in the house when they finally get to move in after the rebuild from hurricane Ian 2 years ago.

HH - I got my small bandsaw mill a year and a half ago. Set it up the next day in my garage. I still love to go out and cut a log into boards. I made a small solar kiln and dryed some of the boards. I have used a bunch of the lumber making things for in the house.

I dont have their coveralls but I have a few pairs of their insulated firehose jeans. They last a lot longer than jeans for me.

My neighbor had his <2.5 acres surveyed $1700. Very easy access

I have a kubota. Dont know the NH. But I believe that has a position control for the 3ph. Possible it is in a position to not allow use of the 3point hitch

Plywood and paint

I plan to start turning these logs into lumber real soon. I'll find out if ants are the reason. I'm hoping for about 300 bdft to build a shelving unit next year

Had a standing dead red oak near the property line. The neighboring property was logged early last year. Is slowly being cleared of stumps and will be a cow pasture. I felled the tree into that and dragged it over the line.

My wife also had her ankle broken (1971) during an car accident. After 4 or 5 surgeries a fusion. And a couple more operations. Andstill uses a cane t walk any distance..

Th driver may have been told to not talk about any problems of the truck if it happened in route.

The trail cam is showing low battery. So it only took one picture. I wasn't sure but I thought a bobcat had a shorter tail. Thanks everyone my neighbor thought the bad picture was a mountain lion. Not supposed to be here according to DNR but.......

Only one picture. From a cheap trail cam. About 40 feet from back door. Night time/ early morning so it's kind of a grainy picture. Max size I would guess is about 18- 20 inch tall. Camera is about 8 feet from animal.

Lift it with tractor or engine hoist and drive trailer to/under it.

Did you miss a zero? LD frame?

Solar/off grid heating or cooling. Small solar panel, pump, fan, solar collector to heat water or tub of ice water. For camping or greenhouse.

" We are going to Iowa to visit...." Where are you starting from? Germany to Iowa first?

I took a drive to Florida a few weeks ago. About 650 miles of way. Gas up just out of town on the way. Reset trip and mpg gauges. The entire trip was1450 miles. 20.5 mpg on gauge and by calculations. 71 gallons used. I usually tow my camper (at around 11 mpg) but this time did not need it. I was...

Squash, zucchini, peas, cucumber, carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, radish, peppers, spinach, and bunching onions.

We prepared a first time garden in March after receiving the soil analysis. Friend of neighbors volunteered a trailer load of composted cow manure. The area needed a lot of lime also. Put up a recycled chain link fence and some bird netting. Wife planted greenbeans the first wednesday of...

Definitely a camper frame. (Propane tank hookup and pipe work). Looks to be fairly light weight. Is there a nameplate at the tongue area? 2" or 2 5/16" ball hitch?

Is there room to build low walls/trusses/stiffeners around the top of the trailer? (The original mobile home had walls to strengthen the frame).

And one of my brothers lives West of I75 in Alachua. But I was passing thru going to my sons in Punta Gorda

Okay I was in your area ( I think). But it was Sunday. Just thought I'd ask.

Lineman: is this you? I was traveling on I75 last Sunday. I took this picture between Lake City and Alachua. Just asking..

You can trace pvc pipe with water in it. Using two pieces of wire about 12 inches long. Bend them about three inches from one end at 90°. Hold the short ends in loose fists, long ends parallel to the ground. Walk around they will cross each other as you walk above any pipe, wire etc..

Would an under sink RO system with a 275 gallon storage work? They are relatively inexpensive and easy to install. Upwards of 50 gallons a day. Just a question in my mind.

Could not find a recent picture. I sometimes need a small load of gravel to spot repair gravel diveway. Trailer weight is ~1500 lbs. Max is 9990 lbs. My truck weight is ~5100lbs. and GCWR is 14900lbs. I try to keep it around 12000 lb because I have a serious hill to climb from the gravel pit...

I cut and welded this from scrap metal peices. My BX23S has an attachment point for a thumb. Cut all of the parts with a grinder and 4 1/2" cut off wheels.

The temp rating on the UF wire may make it against NEC in attics in Texas. The insulation becomes brittle.

I've only seen 2 so far this year. Each 3 to 5 times a day. But only 2 birds.

I've seen here alot of folks using a thumb on their backhoe. And thought if I had one i could use it to set smaller logs on my small sawmill. So I gathered some parts from my scrap pile. After a week (an hour here and there) it's done. Not too pretty but it works. I'll clean it up and put some...

Son lives in Live Oak (suwanee co.) Just got power back 7pm.

Just got a text message from him. Power came on at 7pm tonight. Approximately 36 hours. Not terrible. He was living with us in 2004 in swflorida when hurricane Charlie come into town. We did not have power for 10 days.

My son found out how occasionally running and running them dry helps when you really need them to run when you need it. Friday a.m. N. Florida had a storm that knocked down tree and took out power lines. His 3500/4800 watt gen is running his refrigerator and freezer and a fan and lights. He has...

Lucie is not miscevious. In fact she is very timid. She must have been mistreated before we got her. She runs and hides at the drop of a hat (literally). She does like to chase a ping pong ball all over the house.

That's Lucie. She has only been with us a couple months. She used to hide under this chair

Dig a short trench on each side of the driveway. Hook a garden hose to a lenght of 3/4" pvc and turn water on. Push it under the driveway in trench on one side aiming to the trench on the other side.

I put out the feeder a week ago and saw two ruby throats Sunday. None yesterday. And it's lightly raining today but, saw, I assume, the same 2 early this morning. I tried to get a picture but they are quicker than I am.

My two neighbors want to remove a multi trunk maple Saturday. The trunks were all 12 inch or less. With my small hudson 21 inch mill they are good enough for me. I got them two at a time like this:

TSC I have split white an red oak, poplar, hickory and it has not stopped with any of it.

Well we decided to get another kitten. We visited the Humane Society, and picked this girl. A little skid-ish at first but, she is getting more playful every day.

Just shy of 7 acres. About 3/4 -1 acre for house, garage, driveway and yard. The rest is trees.

Here one of mine. I was clearing for a house pad a couple years ago. BX dug around the root ball. Then I pull it over with come-a-long then it all became firewood.

How many of the larger diameter trees are there? 15 acres is a lot of physical work with a set of loppers but, it depends on how many there are. My wife had a battery operated loppers. They work well. Or with a second person use a brush grubber

The battery backup lights were the fluorescent ceiling fixtures. The light by battery after power outage and for 9 or 10 second interval for 2- 700kw generators to startup and switch over. Hospital generators are required to start and supply power in 10 seconds or less in Florida. I don't know...

Can't remember all the times I got a call for 'lights went out' in the hospital OR. 4 tube fluorescent fixtures were rewired years before I was hired. The batteries in the ballasts were starting to go and burning the wires coming out of them. Between the third shift guy and me we replaced all...

Very sorry for your lose.

Hurricane Mathew was in 2016

My older son is still fighting his insurance company for damages from Ian in Sept 2022

I went thru all of those. Ivan was the fourth one. Charlie came through P. Charlotte. The hospital where I worked was evacuated of all patients. Lost all the fourth floor roof.

A fair amount of bad weather there also. Hurricanes like that part of florida. Moved from Port Charlotte area little over a year ago.(100 miles south of Tampa)

I still like your avatar, terraformer

Torvy: first picture is looking out East facing window of my house. Second is the best picture I just took. It's raining now. Blueberries are to the right of green shed.

I've got 5 'Rabbit Eye' blueberry bushes. I used cement reinforcement mesh bent into a 'U' shape and the rebar to keep it in shape. After they bloom put bird netting over it. Keeps the birds and squirrels out. Deer don't come near this blueberry area. We have red clay and need to add sulfer.

Mine is a 2013 Silverado 1500 LT. Bought it used in '16. It has a 9,990 lb. tow rating and 14,990 lb. gross. Use it to pull these and a everything getter. 138,000 miles so far. (Edited to adjust milage)

A water heater timer would work.

This is yesterday from my brother on Long Island

Percy would climb inside and lick the inside of the grocery bags (t-shirt bags). He also would not eat unless someone was close by and watching him. Wanted to have fresh water or ice cubes to lick. Could not put the ice in the water he would splash in it till cube was on floor then lick it while...

I'm sorry for the loss off your 'best friend'. Pets are family members and mourned deeply when lost.

One day early last year Percy started low crawling from one room to another. And this he seamed to be growling with a sound of pain. He had never been mean to me. And I never to him. And after a couple hours my wife and I decided he needed medical help. It was 11 pm. We found a nighttime vet ER...

Looking4new, thank you for the sentiment. Fatjay good luck with Mocha's surgery.

Thank you plastikosmd

I have been trying to stay busy today helping my son. Tomorrow morning we are traveling home 350 miles and will bury him there. He was just a great cat.

Thanks everyone. It really was a shock to us. He was playing with the window shade minutes before.

Thanks MossRoad

Picture from post #47 We are visiting our younger son who recently moved his business from SW Florida to N Florida. Using our camper. Percy usually stays in the camper during the day. He would sleep with us and in morning wake us by tapping the curtain that is at our head area. He did this this...

This is Percy. Found him on our land a couple years ago. He was 5 or 6 weeks old. Next day I checked a trail camera near where we found him. We think he is an orphan.

I have a 1964 Chevelle Malibu SS convertible with the original 265 and 4 spd. But it will be a while before I get to work on it. So I put the outer parts in storage.

Take some accurate measurement of your wheel and contact sawmill manufacturers. Maybe they can match it up.

Merry Christmas to all.

Plywood 'doser blade' extended with 2xs from tractor bucket and rathet scraped into/onto bucket. Should be quickly attached / removed

I got a Huson Sawyer mill in April. Since then I have cut over 1000 bd ft of white and red oak. I did build a solar kiln out of 2x4s and plywood left over by the carpenters who built my house. They are work to use but the lumber will be used for book shelves and a chicken coop. I have a few...

This is my setup. Hud-son sawyer.6" x 6" with aluminum tracks lag bolted down. I shim the 6x6s each time as they are just set in the ground. Just put mill head in the garage while i spend christmas in Florida with the kids.

How deep is the line buried? I have had good luck locating within 8 inch either way using a couple pieces of wire. 2 lenghts (about 16 inches each) of wire. Bend both 90° at 4 inch. Hold one in each hand. And hold short ends loosely in fists with the end balanced on little finger. Hold long...

Here in N.Georgia walls are painted flooring installed and then the finished cabinets are installed

It's not a 20 inch saw. But, after the 18 inch oaks are on the ground don't have tobend over as far. And I don't have to shaarpeen as often.

That echo looks like mine. And I've been using a 20 inch bar and chain.

Our cat found us about 2 1/2 years ago. Vet said he only 6 or 7 weeks old. The next day we looked at the trail camera pics and there was a coyote. We guessed he was the only one that had survived from the litter. One night he was moaning (he has not learned to meow) and would cry if we touched...

I dont need anything as large as that windmill thing. I only have 12 or 13 fruit trees. But I need to do something about a late frost. This year I did not get 1 peice of fruit apple, plum, pear, peach, or cherry. It's a bit of work to put a blanket over each tree for each frost warning. What do...

Wife and I cleared 1/3 -1/2 acres of our ~7 acres in N. Georgia for this house over the last two years +. We moved in late this March. So we used some wood in the wood stove. Not much maybe a half face cord. But we don't know how much we will use. Hope this will last a few years.

Had a similar problem on the old house. Did not repaint behind the water softener equipment. After/ during removal of the stucco fount all of the wire mesh and the staples holding it to the wall had rusted. The stucco was holding itself to the wall but bulging.

Didn't you need two SawyerRob?

Will it fit like this on the bar with the bare wires?

No sir. That is were the jumper from the right side that you moved to the upper left and extended should go.

I see one mounting screw here

I was referring to the two areas marked in green. Can you show us the inside of the main house panel. Maybe someone will see something for you (or your electrician friend) to check on.

Similar to were you removed the jumper on the right (circled in previous post) there should be a screw hole next the left ground bar to use and the end can be inserted were you put the bare wire.

It's better than nothing - but why?

It is obvious that it's not a professional install but, this should have been done even if it was neutral to ground connected.

Yes

No. Use the item I have circled. It can be used on either side of the panel. But the ground wires are in the bar on the left and neutrals on the right. The panel box needs to be grounded. Use the jumper (circled) to do this.

After removing the jumper from neutral bar to ground bar you need to bond the ground bar to the panel. Using the bond jumper from the right side of the panel. Looks like it is just holding the neutral wire to back of panel.

Do you have overhead or underground wires to the house? Years ago my mom's house had underground to house. She called me after a lightning storm. Power in her house was affected. I checked same as your friend. (I'm a residential electrician - retired now). Affected microwave, dishwasher...

In March this year I had blossoms on all my trees, apple, cherry, peach, plum, and pear. We got a unexpected freeze overnight and lost every blossom. I am preparing a few covers for 2024.

I like to use holes in the frame. Pull the vehicle down to the trailer a bit, it will lessen the movement of the vehicle on bumpy roads and turns. Especially when you need to make a quick adjustment to avoid any a-hole drivers needing to be where you are now, !@%&r!.

KOYO is also made here in N. Georgia.

My wife used to work (in the office) for a RV repair company. She saw all the billing for repairs and maintenance of RVs. They also were capable of this type of modifications. She is talking about this being a 8 - 10 thousand $ 'mod'. Stiffening the floor and wall around the slide our. Also is...

Do you just want to lift it to put wheels on? Dig under the end and use a couple of 4" x 6"s with support a foot from the box and pry it up. Pick the other end up with the 3 point.

Local quarry has the scale in the loader also. But it still overloads. I usually ask for 3 ton when I want 4.

We recently had a home built. So, probable some built-in shelving. Coat racks and boot changing bench at doorway entrance. That sort of thing. I will need a way to dry the lumber also.

At the quarry ask for less than you want. Locally they always overload me. (6' x 12' 10000 lb)

I reread all the posts and noticed no one mentioned a small manual mill. I have purchased a Hudson Sawyer mill. Max size as purchased is 21 inch diameter and 9 ft length. Works pretty good I have to say. I have 12 logs 8 to 12 ft long and 12 to 20 inch diameter. But to test and learn my neighbor...

When I worked for a hospital we had a 1meg generator delivered. The tractor had the same wheelbase. I asked the driver the same question. He said the fed trailers had 8 feet to the fifth wheel.

I have two on my garage. Installed them 3 years ago with the help of my g-son and g-daughter. Ordered them from Janus near Atlanta. Picked them up a week later.

Would a large mail box work?

I would use the 4x4" diagonally at the corner under the floor and use the floor jack to lift. Use sledge to bring corner together and use screws to hold it and put corner strap to keep it there. Do this for all corners. Since you say it was not 'permitted' with the pyramid blocks it would/could...

If mine I would use 4x4", automotive floor jack, sledge hammer, 6"screws, 12" corner straps, and concrete pyramid pilings

My older brother was in the army. And when he was 'bored' he would go to the motor pool. He talked to the motor pool Sargent and tested and received a military driver's license to operate a mobile assault bridge in or around 1989 or 1990

In 2007 rampart blvd I75 overpass in Florida was hit by a high excavator on semi trailer. The driver was fine $71. Rampart blvd was closed for 1 month while they replaced a section of the bridge. (main escape route for a large community). Cost was estimated at $500,000.

I got this text this morning, many for the last 1 1/2 - 2 weeks

Did it not come with a metal strap that has the ground screw on it? That strap is mounted to outlet box and has screws and decorative nuts to attach light to it.

As with receptacles on a 20 amp circuit as long as there is more than one per circuit. And each switch operating less than 15 amp.

I have been able to get away with doing a lot of crazy and stupid stuff over the years (45). But this week out of all the year, I don't. Three special days I must remember Bday (8th), Anniversary (12th), and V-day). Even though I jut gave her the card at 8:00pm. But I got away with it.

I found that tractor has batteries rated 154Ah x 7.25 = ~1100CCA. I have a couple of these on my solar system in my garage and they are ~100 lbs each.

My wife makes some fire starters from cup cake papers, dryer lint, sawdust and old crayons.

I have a 6100 in bad shape, but still runs good

I think you will end up with nuisances tripping of circuit breaker at that amperage. Keeping it below 16 is recommended at 80% of 20 amps.

What is the amp draw of the mini split(?) On 120volt? If only 50' I think I would put a 2/4 circuit panel and put 240v/30a 4 wire to it.

But should your new measurement line be at the top of the clear plastic?

Maybe a Jazzy mobility scooter would be a good thing for him to have.

This one

I have a HF 2500 lb winch on my trailer. If I don't double line it it will not pull my 93 jeep pioneer put it. Need to double line it foritto work at rated weight. Most winches are rated at the first wrap of the line on the spool. After the first wrap they are derated considerably.

My younger brother lives near Gainesville fl.. They got lots of rain and wind.

If it was rabbits and a cow I would think it was my granddaughter. My son and his family are in SWFlorida.

40 years ago i operated a 15 ft batwing bush hog. I used a 10 lb sledge for the persuasion.

I use a web site like ereplacement parts dot com they have specific models and exploded views with part descriptions.

I sometimes begin with a splash of gasoline on the air filter element to see if it could run. Then a tiny wire pushed into venturi(?) from fuel bowl to check if it is clogged with varnish from old gasoline. I reread your first post. You get it to run for a second or two after changing carb.

My wife used to work for a RV repair/consignment dealer in Florida. Some were sold to first time owners. Some sold to persons of considerable age. Some came back damaged in a day or two. One was a Class "A". $300,000. Ran over something on the highway traveling at 65 or 70 mph, blow a tire hit...

You are welcome JasperFrank

Sorry. The one I referenced is an extension box. The entire back is open for access to the box it's mounted to. Mounted to the box with extra long device (or blank cover) mounting screws.

I dont think that is not up to code but this one is

Would you be moving it empty?

Well I have to admit I have not checked the emergency flashers. But I know that the radio interior lights power to the trailer connection and maybe a few other things.

That's why I tell everyone I'm from Long Island

Skeans.. yes I do leave a few roots on the side I want thetree to fall to. Plus I attach my come-a-long 15+- feet above ground pull with. Nothing in the area to be damaged by tree falling in the wrong direction but my pride.

Jstpssing a couple pics.......

Yes. Since I only have my new BX23s and these trees are 85 feet tall and 20" dbh I dig around them to break the roots pull the whole tree over with a cable puller ( aka come-a-long) using the height and weight of the tree to pull the root ball and the remaining roots loose from the red clay here...

'65 Chevy Malibu I left the windows down an inch and it rained.

That tree gave me 2 - 10+ ft and an 8+ ft logs from 12" up to 18" dbh. Plus the 5 ft stump and then there is all the branches. I'll have to build a new firewood crib before I start splitting it all.

It's a good thing I am retired. I took most of a day to dig around it. Half a day to wrangle it to the ground with ratchet straps and a come-a-long. Then I cut the top branches to fire wood lengths. I cut 8+ and 10+foot length logs off leaving at least 5 foot of stump. That makes it easier to...

Last few weeks I have been digging around trees and pulling them over. Cutting them up and moving the logs to a splitting area. I got one left to do and my house pad will be clear.

Would one of these work?

I've been removing trees from my house pad for the last two weeks sine I got my new bx23s. I dig around them, break the rots and pull them over with a come along. 7 so far. Those is a slice of the biggest so far. It was hollow from ground level up to about 5 foot. 2nd picture shows sometimes...

Aluminum wire expands when it get hot. But it can't expand where there is resistance. And when it cools it shrinks. So it gets hot expands and cools moving away from the lug or screw that was tight against it. Over time the connections screw needs to be re-tightened. This could have caused the...

I just closed on my Florida home sale yesterday. First asking price was higher than realtor suggested by $25K. Signed initial papers in 4 days. Sold for $15K above what realtor suggested. Now to get the builder started on new home in north Georgia on my <7 acres.

I dispatch 6 or 8 after finding this.

I wired homes for 19 years before I went to work in as an electrician in a hospital setting. The inspectors like to reference this: NEC code 110.12 states 'in a workmanship like manner' . If the panel and all electrical runs are neat and tidy it looks more like you know what you are doing and...

But why are you feeding a 100 amp 240 volt panel with 12/2?

There are numerous stories about non-citizens with green cards being drafted. My wife was a 'non citizen' when she enlisted in California. But it was the day before I enlisted in New York. April 21st, 1975. Of course the conflict was coming to an end. She received her citizenship while in the Army.

I need to move two cars from SW Florida to NW Georgia. I have been quoted $400 each if on same trip. That was in January but it will probably go up. I can do it, but it costs more in fuel alone for me to make the round trip. And I can only haul one car at a time.

Happy birthday

And a deeded easement. I owned my land for about 5years before trying to get power to it. I had to have my neighbor agree to and sign papers before coop would bring in power lines.

Congratulations SC. It'll be a fun ride for a lot of years to come. My G-kids are 16 (g-daughter) and 17 (g-son) YOA now. Grandson is trying to get into West Point and the Corps of Engineers.

Would an RV waste tank heater work. Some can be used at 120 volt or 12 volt. They have sensors that turn on/off at correct temps. I have them on my RV and run them on the batteries.

Use a copper backing plate (because mig weld will not stick to it) and .025 solid wire with 75-25% gas. Short 3/4" - 1" welds spaced 3/4 - 1" apart and then fill in between, should not burn through. I've been doing this on my '65 Chevy Malibu body panels, it's been working well for me.

Here's another place I found

This stuff if you can find it, is amazing. As said earlier a couple squirts in morning and again at night. A couple days and it's free. Not as cheap as WD-40 but works tons better.
