Dan, those not noteworthy or picture worthy projects are some of the best QST that we have. Glad you got your cooling issues resolved. I need to install some sort of cooling in my shop, the HF pedestal fan just ain't making the comfort grade.

I get a heavy downpour every day at around 3pm, lasts for 20 minutes and that’s it. My pond is empty and everything is dry and turning brown. We could use some of your rain.

Duke, I'm glad that you're seeing the light and doing the things you wished you did sooner. Looking forward to seeing what you do now that you have more shop time.

Well it took me way longer than I had ever imagined to get electric to the carport. It was about an 85' run from point to point and I was putting two #12 solid conductors and one #14 stranded in a 1/2" conduit with three 90* ells. I used plenty of lube but no matter what i did, I just couldn't...

At 20 years old, I would just replace the framing. 5 years into your new composite decking and your now 25 year old framing starts to fail is going to be costly.

No, the real mistake is when you grab the spare bottle and find that it never got refilled when it taken out of service and now it’s Saturday afternoon and you have a job that needs to go out the door first thing Monday morning and you’re out of gas.

I always like hearing the backstory as much as the build.

I’m in for the ride.

Pictures and explanations of a past build are just as helpful as pics of a current build in progress. Keep them coming.

It's been pretty damn hot so progress has been slow and it's taken me several days. I put the two forks together on the skid steer to dig a trench from the RV pad to the carport. I just stick the forks in the ground and drive slow. In no time I have a 12-18" narrow trench. I'm using 1/2" pvc...

Mine did too and I still use it. It’s perfect for what the OP is trying to do.

Holy **** Kenny, this is your fourth post in 11 years. I'd recommend you go with white like the liner panels. White won't draw your eyes to the line between the two different wall materials and it will also reflect the light better.

Congratulations Magic, looks like you found a nice clean machine. I still have mine and I use it often. Everyone that sees it in operation is in awe. PM me with your email address and I will send you a copy of the elusive manuals I have for the DTR28. Someone on the internet tracks me down at...

I needed a gas trimmer to do what my M18 trimmer can’t do so I picked this up yesterday and it’s pretty bad ***.

I have a dyna-file but rarely use it because it’s loud and heavy. While visiting my son’s shop I got a chance to use his M12 band file and was really impressed with it. He sent me one for Father’s Day.
