Yes. Thanks. I got it all. Tightened connections and checked resistance on what I could.

Welp, turns out the thermopile just needed the soot sanded off it. Thank you for all your help and suggestions minus the reply from Fred Wanaker. If I followed that advise I’d be hundreds into a service call to blow soot off. That’s the purpose of forums to BS and shout out solutions from our...

Hi guys. Quick question for those in the know. I have a Propane fireplace. Worked fine. Next day won’t ignite burner. Pilot light lights but burner will not. after messing around and taping things I noticed if I tap the back of this thing (pic attached). with my knobs on the front of it it will...

Yes. But I have 6 or 7 more 80 footers coming down in the next couple weeks. Gotta get it outta the way. Got interrupted by this tree coming down through my house from drilling a well, running plumbing to house and pole building. Making a driveway. Landscaping a front lawn not to mention I was...

Thanks for the info. Right now I need to get this 85 ft tree out of my way. After that I will start adding and replacing components to making this a REAL log splitter instead of this redneck JackPine abortion. 😳 Good info. I was wondering why no filter. Also wondering if the oil tank was big...

Thank folks. The initial post was about a homemade splitter I bought because an 85 foot oak tree fell down on my house taking out my garage, laundry room, bathroom and closet trashing trusses and drywall inside. I have six more trees the same size half down from the same storm or leaning...

Just bought a homemade log splitter. It has a Briggs & Stratton 5hp 206 cc motor. A John S. Barnes Corp pump, Boss 2500 psi Ram Industries cylinder and a Cross valve. I don’t know if the components are industrial and overkill for the 5 HP Briggs motor or not. the motor is tired and has been...

Any close up pics by chance?

I use one of those magnetic things with a long handle on it when you drop a bolt or nut in the engine compartment. I lightly run it across the ceiling till it pulls and sticks to a nail or screwhead under the tape of the drywall. Do it a few times to find out which way your rafters are running.

Thanks for tagging me Joe. I’m following you footsteps to the tee only on a smaller scale. Mine is only 32x32. Couple quick questions.... bear with my terminology as I restore vintage cars and not a builder. The top large boards where it meets your ceiling...the two 12 inch boards. Did...

Following.

Thanks Bullnerd. I thought the same thing also as it seems like a lot of extra work and material. My problem is that I will be using the walls for a ton of cabinets and other **** hanging. IE: pegboard I’ll need some type of nailer back there not to mention nailing my wall face.

Hello folks. I just want to verify my steps in insulating the walls of my existing 32x32x14 pole barn I just purchased before I screw something up. Is this correct??? Glue 1 1/2 inch ridged foam between girts and seal with can foam spray. (Can I just duct tape seams as it’s suppose to be a Air...

Thanks guys. Definitely a mistake in calculating prices. It comes out to $485 per wall with ridgid foam, fiber batts and 2x4 studding. Not including anything else.
