Well the spring busy period is done so I'm finally getting a chance to work on some projects again. I actually got started on some work on the shop. Before I can get insulation in, I need to fix the window situation. I'm not sure if it's from the seasonal movement of the wood, the oil stain we...

Your numbers are a lot better than the ones up here. New sprayer is $1.3 million, plus at least $100k in tendering equipment. That's $1.4M. Our field size is a lot smaller here with more road time so our productivity for a 120' boom sprayer is only a bit over 100 ac/hr, maybe 120 ac/hr. At...

Hey those welds are better than mine, and on sheet metal too! I hate sheet metal, I either blow through it or don't get enough penetration.

Strouty we had two mornings this week where they woke up to snow 1 hour north of me. I hope you didn't get that out there. This spring has sure been a dud so far.

Geeze that's a big arena. I was going to give you **** for building such a big building just for hay burners, but then I thought about it a bit more. It's really a long term win for you; once the hay burners outlive their time you can just pour a concrete floor in there and have a huge shop space!

We're just getting started, so you're all show offs lol.

I hear you on the budget. I'm doing the same approach with mine. That's a good thought on a double door. I didn't think of it because my door is a tri fold so I don't have to open the whole thing to get a small vehicle out.

I'll be watching this one. Be sure to post some pics, it's neat to see the different locations. As far as advice? Finish it all before you start moving stuff in. Otherwise you won't. And don't mess around with only heating a small area. insulate, air seal, and heat the whole thing. That's the...

See this is what really impresses me when it comes to vehicles. Anyone can go and buy a shiny new one, but it takes real effort and dedication to keep an older vehicle looking this good. Well done!

I'm quite surprised that nobody in here has so far mentioned the obvious project: A nice comfortable swing for the bedroom. You know, to relax after a long busy day. :lol_hitti

Thanks! I wish it would warm up a bit so I can get some more stuff out. We seem to be stuck in an arctic trough that they are saying will stick around till the middle of the month. Thanks! That's a pretty smart idea. I don't know if that would be enough here on our cold cloudy winter days...

Now that I've looked at holdfasts it seems I should have clarified. I'm not thinking of holdfasts, but more like the bench ********* and associated clamps.

And that's one project done. Well, mostly. As it is there is no drain in the sink, and I fully intended to put it in. But the thought has also come up that we could leave it out and put a screed over top of the sink to sift soil. She's going to use it for a bit and decide what she wants in...

Up here they do that with occupancy permits. Can't live in a building without one, and you aren't getting an occupancy permit unless it's a purpose built dwelling with full inspections along the way.

How thick do you need it to be for dogholes? I'm looking at making an assembly table here right shortly, and was thinking about a 1.5" plywood top.
