    ...and so it begins

    So... I finally got everything apart... and the new urethane bushings in place. Assembly was pretty easy. I did take a few minutes to measure and make sure I had the cab "straight" on the frame... Rear supports... Middle supports... And front supports... Apparently, someone...

    ...and so it begins

    Another job that's been on my list for a while now is to replace the cab mount bushings. Having the bed off and the exhaust system down made the job a bit easier... but it was still a chore. Goes without saying that every bolt put up a pretty good fight... even with wire brushing the...

    Tales from The Hantavirus Hotel

    Good to hear you were able to get rid of the load of scrap! Thanks for showing your receipt... I'll be taking a load soon... including a cat. I'd heard they were worth a bit but this will be the first one I've cashed in. Might get enough cash to cover fuel on my upcoming road trip. Good...

    ...and so it begins

    The crew got the cable run to the top of our power pole and preliminary connections made. The transformers at my barn and at the neighbor's building site are connected. His meter base is set and has been inspected. The machines are at the bottom of our driveway. The next step will involve...

    ...and so it begins

    A very interesting day... The crew began showing up a bit before 9. A couple of the guys came up our driveway to chat... one said he thought they'd start at our power pole and work their way east... but wasn't sure. After I hadn't seen them for a while, I got on the 4 wheeler and went...

    ...and so it begins

    Yeah... it seems that older vehicles from the east coast are usually "rust buckets"... apparently, this one came from an area where salt wasn't used. Just turned over 102,*** miles... largely "trouble free". 460 gas engine/ E4OD trans/ 4.11 ratios... rear limited slip. Mostly identical to a...

    Tales from The Hantavirus Hotel

    Good to see you posting again! Looks like we had the same idea this morning... I finally got around (at least starting) to updating my thread as well. Anyways, you've made some great progress. Nice fixes on the tractor! I'm not sure it would've occurred to me to move the tractor as you...

    ...and so it begins

    Thanks for the visit! And, yep, sometimes I don't know when to quit! ...lol We (meaning my misses) decided that the sign needed to go on that side of the driveway... and in that general area, approaching the house. And, because of the way I have to move snow, there weren't a lot of choices...

    Building walls for a pole barn

    You're right... the approximate center of the "skirt boards" is at the top of the concrete floor. Looks like on the two sides that won't be a problem... but, the ramps do pose a bit of a problem. One possibility might be to install two overhead doors... the problem on that side is solved. Or...

    ...and so it begins

    I'm not sure what's going on... the young cat and the old cat just can't seem to get enough of the German Shepherd girl dog. It's cool that everyone gets along... lol And, the big ducks still prefer splashing around in a swimming pool... they really like it when the sprinkler is...
