OK guys, I'm no longer have any ties to friends with farms anymore, so I haven't been able to add anything of substance to this group! You guys just have it to easy installing your field tiles !!! LOL. Back in the 50's, as kids we would help a family friend hand dig the the trenches, and...

I'm a transplant from IL down to TN several yrs. ago. When we purchased our house it had a 14 x 22 shed that was places on 8x8x16 bricks, and it wasn't tied down to anything... Local said it wasn't required, and as long as it's not tied down, its not taxed ??? Fast forward a yr. had a storm...

looks like the fan detached from the rod! Pin vibrated out ???

WE live in TN and sure could take care of those "Sticks" !! LOL Went thru cleaning out 2 estates. Not fun! > What I did learn, if using an auction company, have the items auctioned of at their auction house, as the pricing will be higher. > After you have made the initial sweep thru the...

Ditto We put our smaller 20 Gallon in the garden cart, and the 50 Gallon in the Bobcat bucket! Both work flawlessly !! Support and parts available are wonderful !!!

Welcome to the J. I use to live in Kane Co. and moved to TN 2 1/2 hrs ago, and working on building a large outbuilding

As for locking exterior electrical boxes. Talk to your local FD and ask them what common keys they use. Then just purchase the same lock. Some local FD even sell the locks. Then you don't have to worry about them having to cut the lock off!

go to local supply house and P U a 30 x 24 " pice of either SS or CMC plastic and either glue or screw to wall. AL

Shake his hand and be thankful you found someone who is willing to do rework of an existing septic field. Pricing really isn't out of line for that type of work!!

Just as an FYI, I had 2 circuits in the garage where the romex ran in parallel from the electrical panel. Using the welder on the non GFI / AFCI circuit would trip the AFCI circuit breaker. Moved the romex ~ 6" solved the problem.

AFCI - An arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) is an advanced circuit breaker that, as a way to reduce electrical fire threats, breaks the circuit when it detects a dangerous electric arc in the circuit that it protects. Had the same issue with my 2nd garage build. So any device that has some...

I purchased some Dewalt aftermarket batteries around 5 yrs ago. They are still working fine. Fast forward to last yr. purchase 3 more last yr. same supplier, batteries look identical. One lasted a month, the others around 2 months. Back to OEM !!! As a side note, one of the last 2 got really...

I've done both. Back in IL, our lot was basically flat. So when I dug the footing, I set a block on 4" or gavel at each end and used a laser level to shoot the first course of block and a 6 ft level as we went! in TN, the wall is only 90 ft long 4 blocks tall plus top cap. First course is...

As for the amount of gravel, figure on 6" wide,x high of the wall times the length of the wall. That will get you in the ball park!

Building small retaining walls is a very simple but time consuming project. We purchased retaining wall blocks from the big box stores. There are numerious vidios on hoe to install the blocks. I typically dig a 6" deep trench, install ~4 " of crush and run gravel, tamp, and install the base...

When working in an area where John Q Public are and your not not necessary in the vicinity with your tools. Tools will walk. use to work with voluntary groups and I took my old tools to work with. They also had a RED band around everything, and some still walked! Just saying ........

Re: Massive window jog Well that is great news!!!!!! Having dealt with both Pella and Anderson in the past can be hit or miss. They have both had their problems for both commercial and residential jobs. It all boils down to the local rep. and who the sub contractor is. I'll take it one step...

Re: Massive window jog Wow, you have an ambitious project to undertake. Wish you well going forward. Yrs ago we were involved in a building rehab in, IL that was in a historic district. They had a historic commission to oversaw every detail of the old building, and were a real pain in the...

Keep up the good work! Thanks for the heads up on the pending change. That way I can get my brain ready for the upcoming changes .............

Yes, I can have BC perform the work on site. That would require 2 trips. The 1st one to determine what parts would be required. Then a second trip to install the parts. The travel cost for the 2 field trips is $1,000 in travel time. So I prefer to send the BC to Knoxville instead!
