    boracare?

    Anyone have direct experience with boracare? I've got post beetles in my barn I'm remodeling and I need to treat it before really getting down to redoing the inside. From the research I've done, it appears the boracare product is one of the better options on treating existing infestations and...

    the barn remod

    I came home to the doors installed, so more progress is being made. As you can see a bit more needs to be done. I still have to replace the old warped siding on the barn with 4x8 sheets and then install metal over it. And also get rid of the old broken window with a more modern one and start...

    the barn remod

    Very slow progress on the barn, but the garage doors are getting installed today:rocker:. The cherokee in one of the earlier pics finally sold and allowed me a little more working room in the budget. Wiring the new enclosed section starts this upcoming week. One pic of the improvements and one...

    Creosote Problem?

    Thanks for the welcome. I haven't tried to clean or pressure wash it yet. I just have noticed that the rings have been spreading very slowly since I first saw them. I'd hate to get it cleaned only for it to wick out again beneath the coating and cause it to peal. I guess in hindsight, I...

    Tankless heater help

    Dave, I may not be interpreting your setup right, but my main concern with using an electric tankless for any reason would be operating cost. Standard electric tank water heater elements pull 4.5 kWh when operating. The Tankless Electrics can pull up to 16 kWh according to data sheet online...

    the barn remod

    Hi guys, I've been reading up on everyone else's shops, so finally decided to share a few pictures of mine. I bought my grandad's place several years ago which included the barn he built back in the 60's. Over the years I've modified it here and there, by getting it's own electrical meter, and...
