    Zero Turn Recommendations

    I would fix the commercial grade skag. And/Or find someone to do most of your mowing for you. Price of a new mower vs number of mows per year in Omaha, new may not make financial good sense. In So Indiana there were a large excess of guys with a mower, trailer, and pickup looking for work. Or...

    Please check my math on Jack limits

    I would just do 1 wheel at a time. Trans in park, parking brake on if you can, chock the wheels. Use jackstand(s).

    Milwaukee denies warranty claim because "tool split in half"

    My theory- Made in China or similar, batches of bolts and screws can be iffy. Alloy not on spec, heat treatment questionable. Not 100% QC in the entire supply chain. Milwaukee is owned by TTI, a Chinese company. Milwaukee sounds more Heavy-Duty than Hong Kong Tool Ltd.

    Getting into my head too far. How to support my storage shed?

    I would look into using packed crushed rock and treated 6x6s or 4x4s. If there’s a bit of slope then definitely cut in some drainage.
