I do a LOT of chainsawing, splitting, weed whacking, and mowing with a diesel tractor. Have gone from single to double per above and wish I did sooner. I don't do it for a living but suspect I get similar exposure at least for some periods of "days at a time". Tried all the usual brands but...

Everything is relative and you get used to it. Ex #1 - My original house was in a new neighborhood & we picked the end of a culdesac 0.25A in a triangle shape (narrow in front) back to woods and a drop-off. I loved it for a few years, but...eventually got sick of the PIA neighbor. Ex #2...

I have the same set up and it was the "goldilocks" size for my property and jobs. I have rock/timber and grading jobs and it's perfect for my needs - I added a grapple for firewood and brush and have done more in a year than I did over the previous 12. Use the BH a LOT and only removed it a...

One nobody mentioned is tulip poplars - Grow fast, "look" like a great tree, drop the whirly seeds that clog gutters, also split, rot from the inside, get hollow and go squirrely when you take them down! Come down regularly in storms, also low BTUs for the stove; but on the other hand make...

We had a massive event here in PA and they were in from TN FL KY, TX etc. for approx 6 to 12 months Per above, get your ins. co involved. With a major known event like that, it likely does not "count" against you as a claim (double-check your's but this was that case in all instances with...

Just read this and found it in my email a bit too late now @ 8 PM on mem. day -ugh..) Thanks for posting though - love this group!

Check the burners and the lid also. I recently completely redid mine at the 10Y mark and they stood behind all of it via warranty. Like a new grill. The SS replacement flav. bars are the way to go :cool:

Classic water/rot. I had a section against a hill and did not keep it dug out or leaves off for a couple of years. Could be the same pic :(

Following this as this sounds like my land with the rocks here in PA. I have to do the same job (actually redo - ugh) and I am not the original owner/designer. My detached garage shop is about 75' and 10' rise/uphill and the current connection is under a deck. The previous owner did not...

OP - I have a 40' x 40' and you are getting some great input. Here's my 2 cents and you get what you pay for: FYI I did not design it/original owner and am adapting it to my needs over time and appreciate the info from the group on here! Consider the 40' depth - I go 2 deep and this allows...

This (y) I have not used the element but was impressed by the videos. Know it's not the same....

I have one in my detached garage where I work on "stuff" - Old cars, tractors, various heaters, welding, etc. Per the posts above, you have to work smart but I like knowing it's there in the winter when I am closed up

Thanks for keeping us posted on the progress. I find I eventually adjust my thinking to the space and then optimize - you have done a great job of that. BTW Beautiful property (& jeeps) :cool: The tree thing would drive me crazy My twp here in PA has similar "rules" but I have found that...

While nothing short of redoing it is permanent, I have gotten reasonable life repairing similar big cracks by using sand/fine gravel to make up the base. Let that settle over time/rain etc. Then follow & pack tight with a liberal top fill of the HD trowel grade patch that comes in buckets. I...

I have a recycled 24' bronze "spun" aluminum light pole with the line/pulley run inside. It is about 8-10" at base and 4-5" at top if I had to guess. Bolted to poured concrete base that sticks up about 30". It's a bit involved, but pretty much windproof ;)

My local tractor supply co. remodeled recently (been about a year process). Got a glance of a big dumpster in their side parking lot when I stopped in last Friday afternoon and scored some 8' x 18" deep metal heavy steel shelf grids (have 3" squares) that they use for displaying welders and...

Another approach to consider: I am in a much different climate (PA) but had the same scenario with slope. Mine is stick-built 40'x40 and set into the hill. Construction is poured concrete (much like a basement would be) and ground goes from driveway level to approx 18" high to the soffit in...

I used Ames Blue-Max (they make it in a white also) on the inside & outside below grade to seal cracked poured cement. I was skeptical at first and it's expensive but GREAT stuff IMO!! At HD & others. I choose it over the drylock extreme due to the flexibility in keeping the seal over time...

That was really cool to watch. Thanks for posting. I spend a lot of time with a chainsaw and have been looking at Alaskan mills for a while. That freehand cutting even with the laser was crazy good. I was thinking the same thing about moisture with a log that thick. There was no splitting...

What were you driving and did you get out...?
