Been a while since I’ve been round here. Where TF to start lol. First of all. The international skid steer died that weekend of pushing snow in the last posts. When I did the valve work there was a chunk of paper towel that fell in the sump I didn’t know about. I had to plug up the block to...

The batting in the belly was only about 2” judging by what’s left where it’s missing, and what I disturbed in a virgin spot to run a line or PEX. Also this has 2X6 walls completely packed with red/pink insulation. When I cut the roof open Saturday for the wood stove, that has been replaced with...

Pretty common thing for trailer houses to freeze up here. Most of them are poorly insulated, with just tin skirting and no insulation. This has wooden siding all the way to the ground, tubes, and will have a couple inches of spray foam to completely seal any drafts and retain heat. Why is it...

I have just moved a trailer house out on a 4 acre lot of mine to move into. Got it almost live able. Got a 1000 gallon propane tank dropped off and filled last week. But it’s fairly expensive, and will probably need another 800 to get me through the upcoming winter. I want to run the place off...

As far as I know it was just me, and one other guy who were grinches this year. I had some personal issues come up, and it seems like most people here can all understand life certainly can get in the way sometimes. The other “grinch” from what I read, or understood atleast hasn’t even logged on...

Ok so since K-os has opened his I opened mine this morning before leaving town with the kids to a monster jam show. Big thanks to my SS. He actually got me one of the same thing I gifted too! A 10mm socket set! Lol. Some Reece’s eggs the boys are currently eating in the car, a sweet Chevrolet...

I don’t even have line wrenches [emoji53]. If my open end flank drive snap on wrenches don’t break them loose, they get cut. I find myself with so many lines seized to the hut anyways that even when the nut is free the lines getting twisted anyways. Cut the line, grab socket and remove the nut...

I am sorry guys, I was a grinch this year. I just returned from the post office, I finally shipped my gift out. I have a gift here from MY SS, but am waiting to open it till my guy receives his. Will post pictures of my opened gift in a few days! Hope I am the last of the grinches to get...

im in again!

it works ok. its nice to always have a driver/backer that fits well. with this kit, along with the rest of what i have i almost always have what i need. im in ND, and rust is horrible so a lot of the knuckles still need to come off and put in the press. but i still use this for the plates...

Just a few new things I’ve gotten recently, last couple months roughly. Amazon wheel bearing removal/installation press. Think this one came from eBay? Hydraulic hole knock out set. Worked great to install gauges, although the die I used wasn’t quite big enough, I had to do just a little...
