    The 5 Stitches Garage.

    Thank you for the compliment. There was a time not too long ago, where I had the shop all cleaned up. I got into this routine of stopping a half hour or an hour before I had to do something and cleaning up. I’m talking put tools away put hardware back where it belongs. Unfortunately with all...

    The 5 Stitches Garage.

    In the past weeks I’ve been thinking about the barn since it’s starting to get unorganized. I have a rough layout I drawn out so did some research on ideas to put in place. While it’s fun to work on something new that doesn’t account that my Florida garage is still a mess. The sheds and attic...

    I can see the benefit then especially with a belly mower vs a 3 point mower.

    Can I ask what’s the benefit of removing the FEL to mow? It seems like a lot of enough for little gain when just removing the bucket would be easier if have SSQA. I have a Kubota L2501 and my FEL is SSQA. It has a kickstand and “removable”. It’s just to much work to remove the loader. I just...

    Well it’s been a good work week in Georgia. The front porch project was a success. Friday and Saturday we had some heavy showers come through. We still had water splashing but no mud. I’ll consider that a win. I did have it all cleaned until dogs played in the mud and walked all over it...

    I recently heard this. I trying to remember if I put any in my burn pile. I’m curious… people do a lot of control burns on their properties in Ga. How far is a safe distance away? I know in Florida they do control burns on state forest just north of me. Do they even check for poison ivy, poison...

    That’s what I figured with the brush cutter. I just don’t have a lot of power in those 21 and 25cc heads. I guess my problem is I’m not up here enough to keep it mowed down and only had the tractor. I’m hoping now the zero turn will speed my mowing so on a 3 day weekend I can knock it out no...

    Today was an amazingly day. My wife surprised me with a gift. She said I need you to hook trailer up and take me somewhere. Don’t ask questions… so we ended up at the Kubota dealership to pick up my new zero turn mower. It’s a Kubota Z542. 27hp Kawasaki engine, Hydro gear 3600, 60” cut with...

    The pole saw is an attachment for my Echo gas string trimer. It’s a Troy bilt mated to an echo shaft. Eventually I’ll upgrade this to an echo attachment when it dies. It’s held up but not something for heavy duty use. Its perfect for trimming some branches here and there couple times a year...

    Thanks. I’m using a battery sawzall for small and pole saw for bigger branches especially those higher up. To mow I’ll use the brush cutter on tractor and come back in with smaller push mower and finishing off with a string trimmer. For height im looking for my truck to go under with scraping or...

    Tuesday, I tried working on other side of the porch but still it just wasn’t working out. I started mowing and trimming up trees. Farmtruck engaged. I trimmed about 40 trees and ran about 6 full truckloads to burn pile. It’s getting there. Its a lot of work doing it myself. I took out...

    We are up in Ga for the week. It’s a good thing because we are getting storms in Fl. First nite we where greeted by our doe that comes and visits. I can sit here and watch them for hours. Monday, I had one project that needed to get done ASAP which was fixing the splashing issue on front...

    It’s been a minute…. I was trying to catch up on your thread ( and still not caught up) and accidentally hit back button. It took me to your first post and picture of your garage. It’s hard to believe your started with this and what’s its transform into today. Your place shows that you don’t...

    Well, Say hello to the new farm truck… I’ve been looking at golf carts, atv, sidexsides, and trucks for the property for awhile. I must say IMO they asking crazy money for these. So much in fact it’s cheaper to buy an old truck than even a golf cart. I started looking at Ford Rangers because...

    Let's Hear it for the Old Gray/Red Sears Craftsman Tool Chests and Cabinets (60s/70s)

    If there was a top/ bottom combo to get that would be one I would go after. Nice score. I really miss my 9D bottom roller.

    Vertical storage for vises. 🤔 Well that brings up an interesting idea. People display things like engine intakes up like wall art. We could be on the something there.

    I got up to the property about 1015. Now this trip is going to be an hot shot run. Run up drop off some things get some sleep be back on the road first thing in the morning. At least that’s the plan. This is where having the drive-through pays off. I love being able to bring the truck and...

    Well, like everything plans change. I was supposed to go up to Georgia in two weeks but ended up going this weekend. I had to throw the lateral file cabinet together to make the trip. I really would have liked to get couple more coats of paint and have time to cure before reassembly, it’s...
