Although it would make it darker you might think maybe 3/8 sheathing or shiplap and then lightly burn it with a torch just to add some character.

Just how can a person loose something :eek: :willy_nil Everything has a place. Use it , clean it up and put it back in its place. Yes I have all my 10mm sockets and wrenches.

Tordon RTU gets my vote also. Put it in a plastic spray bottle as stated for better control. I use one that has adjustable spray from mist to stream. Ive used it on everything that grows from 2' diameter stumps down to 1/4" stubs. If shoots start before the stump dies then prune the shoots and...

2x4x10 pressure treated dropped from 11.89 3 weeks ago to 6.88 last weekend at HD. Bought some at the local lumber yard last weekend for 4.90. 4x8x3/4 plywood dropped from 78.62 3 weeks ago to 54.68 last weekend at HD. Bought some at the local lumber yard last weekend for 47.80. Until last...

Never ran one that big but I have been using a 52cc one man auger almost every weekend for the last 4 months. All I can say is dont force it to dig. I think its best to try to keep it from digging best you can. My small one will wrap you up really fast if you catch a root or a rock. If that...

Just priced some plywood and 2x6's at an actual lumber yard yesterday and they was 10 bucks cheaper per sheet on 15/32 plywood sheathing ( LY = 41.88 & HD 51.05 ) and 4 bucks cheaper per board on the 2x6 's than HD. ( 2x6x12 treated @ LY = 15.02 & HD 19.57 ) HD did have them beat though on...

Plus one on the Tordon but you have to apply it to a fresh cut for best results. Try RM43 vegetation control. Its a bit expensive but it works.

cheap oil burner like pictured. Either candle or electric. Dollar stores or wally world.Use peppermint oil once or twice a week. It will run them away. Use it all the time in winter in the house and shop and chicken coops. No mice or rats.

Im not a scared rabbit by no means nor do I thrive on an orderly and non disrupted life. I am prepared though. Fuel , oils , spare parts for what I feel I will need to have when SHTF so to speak. Food, first aid , clothing , ammo , and whatever weapons I feel I will need to protect my family and...

Last year I went to the local ACE for some sale items. They would not honor the sales add or the coupons. Said they was not obligated to honor them. Im not obligated to shop there anymore unless I really really need something and dont have time to drive to other side of town to another...

Just moved an 18'x20' 2 weeks ago. Used a combination of TonyJ's bracing bottom with 2x6 and Shade Guys pipe method. Moved it from front of house thru the yard to back of house with no problem as long as we kept pipe under it which was used terminal post for chain link fencing.

Great Idea with the receiver hitch.

My sweet darling wife has finally learned after 38 years that if I am not looking at her she does not have my attention therefore telling me something is just a waste of her time and effort. One thing I have not convinced her of is I need to hear all of the conversation. Dont start off talking...

I generally put a piece of saran wrap doubled or tripled or a piece of a sandwich bag over the opening and screw the cap back over that. saran wrap works best. seems to seal better. Not to tight though as mentioned before. The cap will split. I have a tube thats been open for around maybe 2...

Yep they got an eye on that pole now. Probably long forgot about it until you brought it to their attention. Good Luck but I wouldnt cut it down. Around here even if you crash into one and damage it you have to pay for it.
