    Workbench Receiver Hitch - Yay or Nay?

    I did this one on a bench I just built for my son in law. The idea was so he can take it off if he heeds a clear bench top. I also have one on my own welding bench. Same idea set it off to the side when doing big projects.

    Gerber Multi-Plier 600 or other?

    I’ve carried a Leather-man every day for over 20 years. It’s an original PST11. About 10 years ago I spent more than it was worth for a hand made leather sheath . Has a stud instead of a snap. Money well spent.

    Propane line size future proofing

    Use 3/4 IPS plastic . You’ll need a riser at the tank. One at the house along with an underground tee then off to the garage with a riser at the garage . 3/4 IPS piping at 250 feet will handle 681,000 BTU’s . That should do it. Mike

    Propane line size future proofing

    I size this stuff every day. I can help . The length of the run? How far is the tanks from the buildings and how far apart are they ? Running line with risers to each building is a great idea. I like plastic gas line the best with protected risers coming out of the ground. If you want to get...

    Propane price guesses?

    Wholesale prices are high now. Typical this time of year. Lots of domestic propane being exported out of the country. Wait until it’s down a little more 30% is 150 gallons. Long term own your own tank. Contract with one vender for the winter season. Mike

    A metal shed as a Chicken house?

    I build my chicken house in 1997. Had chickens ever since. I lined the complete floor and sidewalls up a foot with Rabbit cage wire. Rats have never been able to get it. I’ve never ever lost a chicken to a predator. A metal chicken house does not appeal to me. Mike

    Wrong LPG pipe size installed

    Won’t run the way it’s hooked up. A 22 KW generator is 374,000 BTU’s. You need a 2d stage regulator piped in next to the generator. And then vented away. Because it’s within 10 feet. Add a first stage at the tank. Piping is fine.
