Our neighbor rented a bobcat mini excavator for a week and then went back and offered to buy it. The rental yard made him a good deal. The nice part is the rental yard also has a bobcat mechanic and can do any maintenance/repairs that he needs. They've also given him some good deals on...

Paint really brightened things up! Looks good. Are you doing the ceiling as well? I think with the ceiling done, you'll get even more reflection from the lights which will continue to brighten it up....

Went to adjust the side view mirror on the ranger the other day on the way to town and it broke. I guess 32 year old plastic gets brittle :) Ordered a new one off the web, spent some time on YT watching videos and viola! A new side view mirror! Not as difficult as I was expecting...and things...

Well, last week I ran over the polesaw with the tractor.... so had to order a new head. 🤬 The seat on the tractor also ripped at some point over the winter which provides me with a soaking wet a$$ every time I sit down. So I ordered a new seat and got that installed today....interestingly, I...

I just bought 2 of these and the corresponding sockets. 1 to keep in the old truck and 1 to put in my wife's car.

Congrats! I'm on year 2 and so I glad I did it. Although 6 months in I took a p/t job which I enjoy and its only about 4-6hrs a week doing contract compliance. As others have said, I think I'm busier than I've ever been but the nice part is that the priorities and deadlines are all self driven.

It was actually colder in the shop than outside, so I changed the oil/filter and lubed the little tractor in front of the shop yesterday....felt like Spring, but winter is due back tomorrow evening and for the next week or so....

Spent the morning servicing the RTV. It's been a year of hauling wood, rock, dirt, etc. This winter we used the winch on the front to help pull all the manzanita stumps, so it was pretty filthy. Pressure washed, greased, new motor oil/ filters, hydraulic fluid and filters....its an old rental...

Beautiful! I have a similar vintage. My FIL bought it new and I got it after he passed....I just cleaned it up and use it regularly.

Lots of little stuff today....finished painting baseboards for the basement. (its only been about 2 years so I'm not that late) While the paint dried, I finished the last small burn pile behind the barn and since it's been raining instead of snowing in Tahoe and I don't want to ski in that...

looks great....and love those countertops!

The weather has been beautiful here. Clear and cold. This weekend is supposed to be the beginning of 10 days of rain/snow. Had 12 tons of baserock delivered yesterday so I could finally finish the lower driveway to the shop. Spread it with the tractor, a shovel and a rake then drove back and...

Thank you - my father in law bought it new in 93...I've owned it since 2000.... Came stock with the millennial anti-theft devices....(rollup windows and a 5 speed) :LOL:

Not in the shop, but nearby. I cut in a road at the bottom of the property for better access, as well as for a fire break. To get on the road from the driveway, I had to drive through our drainage ditch. Had one of the neighbors dig out the ditch with his mini-ex and I installed a culvert pipe...

I have one of those from work. Someone left batteries in it until they corroded. I took the batteries out and tried new ones. No luck. Now I need to clean it up to see if I can get it working again....

I need to do this!

Those came out great! Nice job

Well, after the whirlwind to get all the Christmas decorations and gifts finished, I finally spent a few hours cleaning the shop, putting everything away and organizing scraps for the kindling pile vs the useable stuff. Feels good to walk into a clean shop again. Then yesterday spent an hour or...

I love attention to detail! Merry Christmas

My brother gave me this old chain hoist. I don't really have a use for it, but thought it was very cool. I'd like to hang it on the wall in the barn but its heavy....was thinking of mounting it to a piece of wood then mounting the wood to the metal frame of the barn....thoughts? Any other ideas?
