In the process of removing old PT deck boards and installing new PT deck boards, the boards are 5/4 x 5 1/2. I would like to not use the normal installation of using screws from the top of the board. Would like to go with a hidden fastener of some kind. The Camo system of hidden fasteners looks...

This was a quick build so I could get to watering our new trees and plants on our remote acreage. I want to hook up a 12V pump so I can spray water as I drive along. Can I just run a jumper cord from the pump to the tractor battery for power ? Any suggestions appreciated!

#386 DON'T let this happen to YOU! - YouTube Thought I would share this to remind new tractor owners that using a tractor to push trees over is risky. Even using an excavator as shown was risky !

Spent the beautiful day here in the mountains planting trees and shrubs with the DW ! Planted 11 Crypte Mrytles and 5 Azaleas. Nice to have the PHD instead of using a shovel ! In 2 years they should look nice. Tomorrow will get the 4 Leyland Cypress in the ground. What do others here like to...

We have a 2014 625I Gator. Having problems with the fuel supply system. Has been to the JD shop 3 times and tomorrow makes 4 !! It starts fine and idles good. After it warms up it will not accelerate when you press the gas pedal. They replaced the TPS sensor and cleaned the throttle body. No...

I had thought about doing the concrete myself....but decided that work I use to luv doing is not for this older guy ! 30x50x5inches. The motorhome is one on one side which is why I am going 5 inches, otherwise I would have done 4 inches. I will do the minor form work at the garage doors end...

Morton started on Friday ! 2 man crew for the foundation. That perma column system is great. So today I finished putting the stone around the grade boards. Easier to do it with no walls up. They will put the walls and trusses up come Monday . Nice to watch a crew do the work !

All the materials are here. Just waiting for the Morton Builders to get caught up so they can start here. Probably late next week.

My CK27 KL 130 loader bucket will not stay up...free falls down. The loader ( lift ) itself works fine. The bucket will work but I have to hold joystick in the curl position to prevent it from dumping. I was looking at the parts diagram and it shows 2 seal kits. Do I get both kits for each...

Has anyone used this style of truss ? Sure gives you complete openness to the roof where as wood trusses take that space up. Still looking at all my options for structures. I have a Red Iron quote from Renegade Steel for a 30x50x16 for $20,000 installation not included. 2x4x12 Steel Truss...

I am looking for a rotary laser level. Building a 30x50 pole barn plus other things on our property. Looking for a rotary laser level that will go out at least 150' with a good laser line that you can see well. Researching shows that Bosch makes a great tool. Just want to be sure I can be able...

I am now down to a pole barn or 'red iron' building. My only major dislike on the pole barn is putting the post in the ground. I came across this foundation bracket today ( Forever Post wet set column bracket ). Really like it and could be a game changer. I knew about the Perma Column bracket...

Shopping for a portable generator. Don't want to power whole house, just some basic necessities. I see where they make a dual fuel ( gas or propane ) generator. Since we have propane for heat there will always be a supply at the house. I was thinking the size range at between 5000 to 8000 would...

Hello everyone. In the early stages of planning a 40x60 barn. Live in the mountains of SE Tenn. Is it best to just buy a kit from a company and then build it yourself or have them construct it ? I am capable of building it myself but will take a bit longer. I need to have a door opening big...

Hi everyone. I did my 200 hr. service this morning. All going good till i started putting the new oil in. As i got towards the bottom of the jug i noticed this green substance which i knew was antifreeze, so i stopped pouring, maybe a pint of it got into the engine. This jug had the seal broken...
