    12x16 Shed Sitting on Blocks Needs Attention

    We moved a 10x12 shed recently. Moved everything out, jacked up each side with bottle jacks and/or automotive floor jack and slid 4x6x16 sliders under (on the flat and perpendicular to the floor joists, in about 6”-8” from each edge), also slid one under the middle for extra support. We screw...

    Who rides motorcycles?

    @Bocephous I've been seeing a number of the T7's being delivered in the past three weeks or so. Hopefully, yours will be here soon. I did have to travel to get mine. I couldn't find one in New England, the closest I found was in the NJ North Shore. A 17 hour, 750 mile round trip on New Years Eve...

    Good morning!!!!

    Today started at 9 with a windchill of -1. We ended up with 5” of fairly light fluffy snow yesterday, out of the forecast 4”-8”. It provided an opportunity for some seat time from which a few neighbors benefited. Several of us watched the football games at a neighbors house. I think Mahommes...

Temps are forecast to climb through the mid twenties tonight into the mid thirties tomorrow. Snow is forecast to move in about 4 PM and out early Sunday morning. We’re on the line...

    Hi everyone, I’m catching up after several months away. It’s good to have my tractor back as well, it’s been at a good friends for his project for the last few months. He made me up a ssqa snow plow, looking forward to trying that out, possibly as soon as tomorrow after this snow storm clears...

    Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

    I bought an old 6’ wide plow from a co-worker, a quick attach frame off CL, and a friend welded it together. It’s a bit heavy, I’m going to add ballast on a TS 3PH carrier and see how well it works:

    Good morning!!!!

    I will let you know if I find something. If I understand your approach correctly, you have derived elevations at a ten foot grid of your existing surface area of interest. You then want to determine the volume between that existing surface and a plane at a design elevation encompassing that same...

    Good Morning, All! Pretty much the same here, closer to the coast in NH near the Maine border. The snow forecast here varys from 6-12 inches for Tuesday-Wednesday with temps in the twenties, rising into the forties for next weekend. RNG: interesting idea to input your elevation data into a...

    Good morning!!!!

    Good Morning! 19F with wind chill in single digits. The wind has sounded like a very long freight train going by since yesterday. The windy conditions are forecast to wind down this evening. We are seeing lots of brown poking through the snow due to the warm days and rains of this past week. I...

    Good morning!!!!

    Very nice! The R seat looks the same as on my 92 R100GS Bumblebee, the rear rack looks similar too. I traded the GS in 2010 for the 02 R1150RTP that I have now. I have GS pics on my pc. The RTP pic taken in Evans Notch in the Maine White Mtns, the R12C pic taken loaded for a week plus on the...

    Good morning!!!!

    RNG: Sweeet, that is a good looking bike! It has a cruiser look, is it a R100R? It almost looks like the rarer street version of the R100GS? My R12C has a low seat height by bmw standards, lowered by 1/2 inch with the K12RS cast wheel swap. Congrats!! We are through the couple of days of 0F +/-...

    Good morning!!!!

    Reminds me of when several of our New England group spent a winter just south of Chicago working a construction project in 1984-1985. One Sunday, windchills were -40 to -50 and my S10 Blazer was the only vehicle that would start. I spent the day bundled up in all my winter gear jumpstarting the...

    2014 CK 2510 safety switch cause non start?

    The tractor would not start Monday (1/21/19) after last weekends warmup, snow, then refreeze. The hood would not lift either to check the new battery, though I suspected a frozen/stuck safety switch as all guages and lights worked, starter just would not engage. Temps warmed midweek, it started...

    0° CLOUDY, feels like -19°. Forecast High of 4F. Winds NW at 15 to 25 mph. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph. I started cleanup about 3 pm yesterday, it was still sleeting but I felt the need to get out in it and get it done. No cab here, so I donned my flip up motorcycle helmet over a...

    Good morning everyone, 10F, a bit of a breeze, about 5 inches of wintry mix on the ground forecast to continue into the afternoon. It appears we are going to end up with snow accumulation at the low end of the adjusted forecast of 8-12 inches. Looking ahead, a couple of days of single digit...

    Good morning!!!!

    I owned the R75/7 for 32 years and really like the airheads. I rode a 92 R100GS for a couple of years, after the 99 K12LT. I was looking for a nice R100RT when I happened on the R1150RT-P CHiP bike that I ride now. Another source for surveyors in your area, from the CLSA (California Land...

    Quiet before the storm here in the north-northeast: sunny days approaching 30F, nights in single numbers. A few inches of snow forecast for Thursday/Friday, varying calls for Sunday for either 12 inches +\- snow or a mixed snow/ice/rain event. I enjoyed a 64 Pontiac Catalina Convertible 383...

    Good morning!!!!

    Hi everyone! It was about 6F this AM, warmed to 17, and forecast to be a bit colder tonight. We dont have much snow cover here, maybe 4 - 8 inches in the woods, but the slush of a few days ago has frozen and it is quite icy. I had a good walk on the woodlot yesterday, flagged several...

    Good morning!!!!

    Good morning, everyone! 13F here this morning, forecast a high of 17 and windy, then low of 5 overnight. The ice fishermen will probably be out on the lake this weekend. I have the day off, planning to visit Mom and add some insulation in a couple of places at her house. I may take a walk on...

    Good morning!!!!

    Both is a good idea! The moisture on the steps, combined with the near freezing temps, took my feet out from under me, put me flat on my back and bump down a few stairs on the way back into the house. Luckily, I'm just a bit sore today. :thumbsup: Be safe!

    Good morning!!!!

    Good morning, everyone! 31F this morning when I left the house. High of 33F forecast today, then it's forecast to drop into the low teens and single numbers at night with highs in the upper twenties and teens for the foreseeable future. I managed some seat time last night, cleaning up the 2"...

    Hi, everyone! RNG: my first was an R75/7. RJ & Thomas: Toziers, Creek House & 4 Aces are three of my favorite eating spots. Ray: it's great to hear from one of my favorite places, the Maritimes! I've been living with tinnitus for many years also, possibly due to not wearing ear...

    Hello from the NH Blue Hills!

    Hi everyone, I am a new tractor owner with a small wood lot in the NH hills on a small lake. I will mostly be using my tractor for snow removal, landscaping and small woodlot management. I have a lot to learn. I have enjoyed browsing some of the threads here and am looking forward to more! Dave...
