I used to be the only using these steps I built but now other, less "agile" family members would like to use them as well IF I could build some kind of handrail for balance & safety. Perhaps drill anchor holds in the rocks and put in poles connected by... ? Any specific advice as to materials I...

My wife's cousin (lives next door) bought himself a new pontoon boat. Not that I was looking to acquire a boat, he then tossed me the keys to his old one and said "It's yours". (we are always helping each other on things so he's a bud too) Anyway, haven't used it as a new owner yet. When we...

I changed the starter switch on my 2120, and not sure if I wired it wrong or just a coincidence that it won't go into any gear. Any ideas? Thanks

Planning on using sanded 3/4" plywood for the first 8 feet of the interior walls of my new barn build. I am uncertain as to how to finish the walls, I plan on painting them white but not sure whether I should try to caulk the seams and nail holes or just live with them?

I'm about to have my 42x60 Morton pole barn insulated and need ideas what to get for a propane heater or furnace. I don't want to heat it to 80 degrees but do want to heat it so I have place to work over the winter. I know nothing about these because I have heated with wood or a furnace in a...

I will start off this "idea" thread with this shop addition: I put a solenoid valve at the outlet of my air compressor that is "opened" by turning on my shop lights. No broken hoses at night running my compressor when no one is around. I can also find out that I have an air leak if my piping...

I searched the forums using the search function, and could not find what I was looking for. So, here goes. ADMINS, if this is the wrong forum for this topic, apologies. Let me know if it needs to move. Ok, so... I'm recently retired from a very long 36 year career in the US Army. I bought...

Hi! Does anybody have any tips, techniques, or ideas on how to keep horse manure from freezing to the bucket on a backhoe? Wicked hard to chop it out if it gets frozen….(and it usually happens EXACTLY when you need the backhoe for something else, right!?!?) 😉😂 I’ve tried putting a layer of...
