I don’t see any other threads on this. I’m fairly convinced I’m going to buy a remote controlled flail mower of Alibaba. I’ve got 3-5 or so acres of overgrown pasture in the middle of my place. I’m seeing reports of getting this thing delivered for around $2,000-3,000. The Gravely Ovis is...

I’ve been roughing in my first house. And my last. What a pain in the ***. Had to stop for shoulder surgery. Going to be a while before I can get back to it.

Train grade base. I can’t imagine.

Yeah. Seems unlikely from the slab. I went out to the parking lot the other day and thought I had a leak. Mine was the only car with a puddle under it. Hot Texas day. Pretty sure some AC component had iced up and melted. Could drill a 1/8” hole in slab just outside puddle zone and see if...

Obviously AI.

Sheet of heavy corrugated tin. Rocks. 🍻

I’ve used the screw and yank method successfully one. Failed on the second. Need to try soaking in vinegar. Nothing to lose. Now I try to change my D cells every January.

I just got off the phone with the tax people. They thought I was living inside one of my shipping containers. I sent in an affidavit and some photographs showing the conex was clearly full of junk. And they adjusted it to storage. All good. I asked him about how shipping containers were...

Good gap for radiant barrier. Can birds rodents get to the vented gap? I like rockwool. Good to work with. Cuts easily.

Ebay seller might be helpful.

The published specifications are pretty impressive. Unlike most of the consumer grade mini split stuff I’m looking at. I’m sure the price is going to be remarkable. Keep working and keep writing checks.

I’ll probably end up with 2 or 3 mini splits. But. The best alternative I could come up with something like this. There’s a dealer not too far away and I’ve got a call into them. It seems pretty ideal in terms of longevity and repairability. And 36,000 BTU is a pretty good guess at my need...

And another warranty that’s not all that helpful. Parts only. We’ve just come to accept it.

Well, I’m 1200 feet or so from the road. I was planning on extending my road base to wherever I ended up putting the tank. So they could back right up to it. Well, I’ve got y’all. What is the minimum depth of my gas line? I am out in the country and there are no building codes. But I...

Good info. Thanks

That is a lot closer than I thought it would be. I wonder what the fire failure mode is. I’m guessing the vent with a big flare instead of blowing up. But that’s just a guess.

I’m scouting out places to put a propane tank. Haven’t decided above-ground or under. Probably 500 gallons. Maybe a size smaller. Does anyone know the necessary separation distance from a structure? Though the immediate area around the structure are clear, it’s in a fairly high wild fire...

What‘s the deal on annual maintenance on a mini split condenser? Just spraying the fins? Or is there more to it. Going forward, time on a ladder isn’t ideal. And I hate to bake in having to hire a service call every year. And do you think the splits will last 15 years? I could get on board...

Agreed. But I’d like to be better informed. And not get sold what they are familiar with instead of a better solution. I figure you guys know a lot about the options and I’d like to take advantage of that experience.
