What would Gerard be using this for? Well if read the 1st line it would give you a hint. 🤣 Yes boys “HELL FROZE OVER” Gerard actually painted something. Well it’s first good coat. Got maybe 1 or 2 more to go. I use TSP on kitchen cabinets as a deglosser with good results so decided to try it...

Part 2… I started taking things apart just to find out that the 2 fans had to different shaft sizes. So I did some scientific measuring 😆. I measured square inches of the blades and found out right one had more, higher pitch, and was quieter. The one on floor had about 99 sq in but...

Well, another item followed me home but this one I know EXACTLY where it’s going. 😆 I been looking at FB market place for BIG *** fans and here’s another they tossing out at work. It needed a switch and a plug. I decided to see what I can do with all my fans and parts. The left one is...

Well I “Gerard’ed” myself again. WOW I haven’t used that term in a long time. Im sometime amazed how this happens. While cruising FB marketplace I came across an old style tanker desk. It was good price but way too far away. I went down that rabbit hole of looking at desk then remembered my FIL...

I start planing out the pack out of the Dewalt cases. This is start to finish of what I like to use them for. I happy with the end result. I also picked up a “new” cabinet. I had one years ago and really liked it. I used it and then went to dad’s place. When emptied dad’s place I gave...

Wow, I can’t find just one cabinet around me in decent shape for $550. You ****!!!

Today, I had to take wife’s car in to get serviced and a small warranty repair. On way home I stopped by flea market just to check at this one vender who had some decent stuff. I just needed a break from everything going on. Well to my surprise there’s about 10 people selling now and few more...

Good ole 1/2 cup talked about QST and lately I’ve been learning about QTT (quality tractor time). So much I put over 40 hours on my Kubota since I got it. We been getting a lot of raining so things been growing. To make things a little more manageable I decided to break things up into...

This past weekend was a nice 4 day trip up to the property and wife was feeling good enough to make trip. It was supposed to be a relaxing no work weekend with maybe few hours of mowing. Well I got into some shop upgrades. First was lighting. I took clamp lights, took shield off, and added some...

Had the opportunity to head up to the property. One issue I had yet addressed is grading around the barn. I was having certain areas pooling and it would make everything a muddy mess. One rule I made up is nothing muddy goes in barn without being washed down. This was just back porch. Few...

The trailer I got has been to the get to do list since I got it. I didn’t want to tear into it just in case I needed to use it. Problems I’m having is losing connection with my truck and poor braking from trailer. I decided to dig into the connection issue first. Previous owner replaced 7 pin...

My wife was supposed to make trip up but she was in hospital for few days and really wasn’t up to travel. Mr Bob and his wife wanted to do something to cheer her up and put some plants and bird feeder on front porch. It was so nice sitting outside watching the hummingbirds. The last thing...

I had opportunity to run to Ga for few days so needed to get rake fixed. The main problem was getting to work with the quick hitch. I ended up replacing the cat 0 pins with Cat 1 pins. I did have to open holes to fit. I also cut some motel out to fit upper hook on quick hitch. I’ll...

It’s been a little busy around here. One issue I’ve been having is I needed equipment in both properties. Last trip up I forgot to bring home a string trimmer. I’ve found a 18v ryobi trimmer so been using that. While it’s been ok it’s not what I’m used to using. My toros have been giving me...

There are many people on this site I’ve learned from. A few of them I do hold special including ole 1/2 cup. He was always a source of inspiration in and out of the “shop”.

Today I needed to clear area behind the barn. Fueled up the Kubota, got chain saws ready and got to work. Kubota putting in the work. One of the huge trees dragged to burn pile. Those forks coming in handy. Learn firsthand today if you own a tractor **** will break for no apparent reason...

Yes it’s a Mac 3214. It was always a reliable saw until lately. Rebuilt the carb and did fuel lines. Tuned it and it was good to go. Today it decided it didn’t want to start so used the poulan and echo. I absolutely love using the pallet forks. I couldn’t get the work done I did today without...
