You are likely in a warmer area in S. Ca but not definitely... You should see what happens when it gets cold!

How about a brand new regular razor blade first? (be careful of the angle & will tell you right away)

You are talking a LOT of dirt and a long way. I would get it dumped as close as you can & fix the yard after. Before I got my mid-size TLB, I had a couple of triaxles deliver gravel for an expansion area of the drive and a short 50' lane to a shed. It was VERY miserable to do it manually...

FWIW - I would definitely fill those cracks/spaces with hydraulic cement first inside & out. Quikrete brand is what I use. I have used all of the drylok products including on the recent project listed in my post above. However, that Ames BlueMax rubberized coating is on an entirely different...

I recently addressed a similar problem in my detached garage set into a hill. I dug down and filled the cracks from outside with hydraulic cement and used "blue max" rubberized coating over top. Filled from inside with polyurethane caulk and in one place, the rubberized sealant overtop

Sort of the same general concept, but I also am a bit simple and old school. For vehicles (daily driver, collector, and tractors) use a small spiral notebook for EACH vehicle and keep it in or with it. All maintenance and service goes in it by date. This includes everything -oil changes (incl...

I have been into car restoration for 40y or so. I have used the POR many times & it is not all it is cracked up to be. & DON'T get it on you - your skin will be coming off with it instead of cleaning. Works great only sometimes, I avoid now and have not used in last decade. I am a big fan...

That looks awesome! It will be worth it. I really like the apron part - had a friend neglect doing this on a similar size project and It always is an issue when it rains hard

"Anyone who says 2wd will do the work of a 4wd lives in an alternate reality, or never leaves the pavement" Agree - I have 2wd w/ big turf tires on my smaller tractor with a 60"mmm for grass cutting. Without fail, I get stuck every sping even on flat areas. The slightest bit of freeze/thaw a...

I have changed several over my lifetime and am with those far above. No way in h@!! would I reuse. Not worth it - Start fresh, do it safely, and be DONE

I have always had wood on the walls and drywall on ceiling. However, the folks above suggesting metal roofing and or siding are on to something. Was recently in a friend of friends' new build. He did this and it blew me away - I would definitely do this starting fresh See below:

All wells in my region are poly. I helped the guy at my last house (I wanted water back) - we did it by hand about 200 ft. Way past service life here at my "new" house which is deeper @ approx 220 set in 280 total if docs are right. Not looking forward to it and will prob pay someone...

Well now - this got there quick... ;) Green, Orange, Blue, Yellow & Red OP was sharing picking up older ones as projects. Depends on your use, budget, skills and time with either old or new One thing I DO know is that any model tractor's parts are priced like they are made of gold! Seems...

FWIW After much debate and searching, I went recently with the Eastwood multiprocess (they have a MP140i & MP200i for 110/220). Note that I am in the shallow end of the pool looking to learn - mostly tractor, automotive, and general fixing of "stuff" but these have decent reviews and are...

I've been doing this the hard way pushing back around my overgrown areas for years now. My go-to is a sacrificial chain on the chainsaw. Then once I can get my mower smoothly over, the battle is won. Occasionally it takes back over if I don't cut that area frequently (i.e. I have a lot of...

I use CO detectors in my garages period whether for the propane heater or working on old cars, tractors etc. Nothing beat common sense Also, use a wall-mounted commercial fan moving across diagonally facing outward. Nothing automatic though...

Just put new 6" gutters on the house and garage and validated that upgrade in the last tropical storm. However, I also discovered my most difficult to reach underground PVC is clogged :(. Had them save the old 5" sections to downcycle to my 12x42 shed and chicken coupe. Unfortunately, they...

I have the exact opposite feedback re the Dakota alerts. Had for 11 years and use the magnet set-up about a foot off the drive about 75' in (to not pick up turn arounds). It is 500' to the sensor in the house and DEAD NUTS reliable for any vehicles large or small. Never picks up animals...

I second the above re: packaging & degradation. Also, probably snake oil to begin with ;) FWIW: IF you are looking for an injector cleaner (which I am not sure you are), Chevron Techron products the only generally accepted OTC by those in the know
