As they say anything worth doing, is worth doing right. Our house is a timberframe as well, so it's become our 'go to' building method.

In the simplest terms, it's a garage, but we call it 'the barn'. It will serve as the home for our 2 cars, and of course the tractor, which the poor girl has been living outside for 11 years, so it will be nice to get it inside. On the 2nd floor, we plan on eventually insulating, and turning it...

As far as sheathing goes, the first thing down will be 1" rough cut boards. This is a traditionally built timber, so the last thing we want is to look up and see some ugly plywood. To facilitate a good deck for the singles, they're going to put 3/8 ply on top. Not the cheapest way, but it still...

hmmm wanna drive that up to NY? Ill see ya in a couple weeks 🤣

It's going to be a shingle roof, not metal. Because the entrances are under the eaves, we didn't want to deal with the snow slide. We're in upstate NY, so we can see some fairly heavy snow falls. It's not in this picture, but we've already put blocking on that final rafter that buts to the main...

Hi Folks! My wife and I have been slaving away at a barn for about a year and a half now. We did the entire timberframe ourselves, but elected to have a local contactor install the roof. It's a 12/12 pitch and frankly it just didn't seem like a job I wanted to take on. After we get the roof on...

I have a 8.9 Kw grid tied system w/no battery storage. The power comes straight from the panels - to the inverter - to the house - to the grid. So if the panels are producing 6kw, and I'm using 1kw, the other 5 get exported. I would LOVE to have some storage because in this set up, if the power...

The few install videos I found of the grid fabric also has a base layer like what you show. I think the grid just helps keep it from spreading under load.

I looked at the geotextile, and I was thinking that may be a good solution for this case. Thinking of using the link below, with a layer of fabric on the ground below that. In the peak of summer, it gets dry enough to peel off the top 3-4" of unlevel surface...

All in, it probably needs to cover about 75'. I think from there some gravel on each end should make things stable enough.

Just raising it would cause a "dam". It is more or less a runoff stream from the hill in the back of the picture flowing right to left. I don't want to just block it off, as it would likely flood more of the field or my neighbors land. I did also consider the corduroy road, but I'm concerned...

Looking for some expert advice. My family has about 45 acres, but for 6 months out of the year, I can't take my tractor onto 40 of them because the field has this low area that runs parallel the entire length of it. From about this time, until July I can't get through here with out making a...

Fine folks of TBN, I have been debating a few options, so I'm looking for some opinions. I currently have a 2012 NH Boomer 30 shuttle shift, Loaded R1s, FEL, 5' brush hog, tiller, box blade, pallet forks, and a 6' rear mount blower. I used this tractor extensively while I built my house, and its...

Had to dodge the rain yesterday, so I finally got out there today to pull the cap, and below is what it looks like when I have the stick in its normal neutral position. There is about 3/8" gap between the wall and the spring, and I don't see any sort of adjustments. Also, I've been pretty...

are you talking about 1 or 2 in this image?

So I popped it open more today, and I'm not sure what nuts / screws I'm looking for here. . . The only thing I see is screws for the lock.

Hopped on the tractor this morning and went to raise the bucket and noticed the throw was very short. Not sure what happened, but seemingly overnight the stick is back about 1/2 way to the end of the lift, so I can only lift very slowly. Any ideas?

I have a Stowe mortar mixer with a Honda GX240 engine, and it's ran wonderful for the year I've had it. It's an older unit, no idea how old. I was running it the other day and it quit, like I walked over and turned off the ignition. Now it won't start. I checked to make sure it had enough oil...

I have a 2008 Yanmar SC2400 (Cub Cadet branded.) I've upgraded to a larger 30 hp New Holland, so I need to put this little fella on the market, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how much I should be asking for it. If I look at tractor house, it seems the prices are all over the map. I'd...

i didn't build the whole thing today, but I did move some lumber around.

Started digging out the driveway. First time really putting the loader to use, and I have some adjusting to do. It's not as smooth as the loader on my SC2400. I got a little better as I got a little further. Another couple hours in the seat and I'll be ready for some stone.

Well, it finally got delivered today, and I don't think I could be happier with the purchase. I've already put it to good use in the first few hours. The dealer was really great too. They dyno'd it to make sure everything was up to spec, touched up the paint, and it was delivered with a full...

In the past couple weeks I've hit a few of the local dealers, and I think I am zeroing in on the Boomer 30. I took a look at a local LS dealer, they have an r3039, but they're asking a LOT and I couldn't seem to get them to come down, and just generally not impressed with the place. So I wanted...

Hi Guys, I'm new here, and I just got my first new tractor(cub sc2400). I owned an old 9n before that, so this has been a major change. I got the unit in December and it worked great until about mid January. I went out to start it one morning and it started like normal. It ran for 10 minutes...
