My PHD is a dreem

[3RRL]

Yup, Looking good Timber. I found another use for PHD. My farmer freind said that they work great for cat burial holes. It is so much easier to just punch a hole in the ground than to try digging one with a shovel.

Jim,
You don't even have to dig the hole first and then throw the cat in.
Just put the cat under the PHD ... start it up and screw it into the ground.

Sorry about that Timber, not to take away from your project. It's looking really good and the pictures are great. Have you had to "muscle" any of the holes? Looks like your ground would drill pretty good?

Oh Yuck
LOL I have had a few holes that I had to stop and go at with bars and the clam shell but it has done very well for the most part. I don't believe I will ever be sorry I spent the money on the PHD

Dang, that would be messy. The wife nor my daughter would approve of that method of burial.

Timber, I don't think you'll ever be sorry about buying it either. They are a wonderful tool to have.

Well I figured I should update the fencing project. I have almost all the post and rail up and all the mesh on the fence that is up now. The look is exactly as I wanted it. The mesh is invisible and I have kept the overall kook of the property I wanted
.













You will have to excuse the mess the place is in but it will be worse before it is better. I have to put mesh on 2 of the 10 foot steal gates and I am making a 10 foot wood gate to blend into the fence going out into the field. I also am making 2 4 foot passage gates as well. It should be all done next weekend and I'll be all set for the pool to be dug

Timber, Looking good. There's never a dull moment when you have a tractor and land. How much does your weight barrel weigh? What do you have in it?

 

[Timber]

I have about 750 pounds of cement in the drum and about 50 pounds of various lengths of chain and a couple of cable slings. No it is never dull hear ever LOL

 

[JimR]

Thanks for the info. I need something like that on my tractor for weight. I like that barrel, as it is up close. My beer keg full of cement is too light.

It is a perfect wt for the loader and the forks. The only draw back and not that it is. Because of the wt I didn't want to lift it too high so it cost me a couple inches of ground clearance though it has never been a problem. You can set the bar lower and gain it back but balance and center of gravity was my concern lifting pallets of hay and sawdust into the loft of my barn. I had no interest in using the top link either because the drum has a lid and it makes a nice chain box and storage space

Timber,

That picture with your tractor in it...

Is that a Guinness on top of the ballast? If so, I hope that was the end of the day. (And, I'm jealous!)

LOL yes it was the end of the day last sunday
