Table part 2: So I started digging out the slabs I wanted to use and started working them. First was the bottom shelf. I still need to go through it and give it a finishing sanding. After that I started to work on the popper shelf. After I got the top of it sanded, I started the underside...

Wood part 4, table part 1 The whole purpose of getting the logs sawn up, was to make some of my money back from tree service, and also give me so nice unique pieces for when we build my brewpub. I convinced the lady, fairly easily, that when it come times to build our patio, I was going to put...

This will probably be the last update for the evening, and I'll bring it back to something appropriate, I mentioned earlier, I got a new job "recently" with the new position it requires driving my own vehicle from account to account. Operational costs doing that with my truck were not worth it...

Overgrowth 2: So now I'm best friends with the neighbor, and he wants to put in a brand new fence, no more chicken wire. We are running galvanized uprights, steel cross beams, and cedar planking, when it's all said and done Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Overgrowth: Summer '14 we bought this house, and the PO let a 15'x40' section in the back yard get overgrown...... I'm not talking weeds here, I'm talking trees up to 30' tall. It has always pissed me off as long as we have lived here. Summer '17 after tree service, I had enough of looking at...

Wood part 3: Spring '17; time for round 3. We had our tree guy come out to talk about taking out the elm in the background of this picture As well as drop pine that was leaning about 20 degrees, and trim up some more elms. He got his guys out here, work was done, and like last time I told...

Wood part 2: After my adventures with the mill, we had a big branch on the maple in front of our house drop after a storm, missed our house by about 5', it was not the maple we had trimmed. I got home from work and examined it, and the branch was entirely hollowed out. So I informed the lady...

Now we are getting into the fun project, and then eventually the painful project. Summer '16 we decided to start cleaning up a lot of the old growth trees. '16 we wanted to trim the elm over hanging the main garage, trim the elm over hanging the back garage, and trim the maple over hanging the...

A little random project, since the past 3.5 years I've been in the beer industry professionally, and have enjoyed beer for most of my adult life. I had an idea and decided to run with it. With the help from my dad doing a little machining, we came up with a beer faucet lamp, from parts I had...

Roughly summer of '15 I responded to a craigslist ad giving away 2 free push mowers. I responded to the ad, and brought home the 2 non working mowers. I pieced them together to get 1 good mower thinking I'd use it for trim work around the yard. I moved on the extra motor and a few random parts...

I will start at the end of the last post, the JD trailer I picked up. Summer of 2016 we had several trees dropped and trimmed (more on this later) with how much I used the trailer and axes, I decided 2 things. 1. I needed more machine then my old X300 42", and purchased this X500 54". It took...

Hey sorry guys, I kind of fell off the earth for almost 2 years it feels like. A new job just under a year ago has kept me busy. But I will update this thread here shortly. I'm hoping you'll like the reasons I've been a bit shady

We've made a lot of progress on the kitchen as well, it's now livable but not completely finished, next project is taking out part of a wall and finishing the drywall above the cabinets. Ignore the mess, this pic was taken before the dishwasher was plumbed and wired. While trying to wash my...

This past year has been a whirlwind of craziness. I haven't had much free time, but am now at a point where things are slowing down a bit. Been lurking a bit lately and figured it was time to update this thread. A new favorite weekly activity for the girl and I is going to the habitat for...

I've had some jumper cables for several years now, I think I got them from the in laws. they just ride along in the trunk I've never needed them. We needed them today at work. Connected them and the truck wouldn't start. Let it go for 15 minutes and still nothing. My boss just texted me saying...
