    Tractors and plows and yard equipment, etc....

    Didn't read all the replies but will state that I have a BX25 for a 28 acre property with mmm, scraper, BH, wood chipper. I feed a sawmill with lumber from the forested section, cut grass, grade the road, clear snow, clear ditches, etc. Pretty much everything. Sometimes I wish it were a little...

    Moisture/water between Tyvek and insulation

    Is it damp on the interior side of the tyvek or the exterior? Is there an airspace between the tyvek and the steel? Is the building conditioned yet (heat or cool?) Educated guess here but sounds like you probably need to apply a vapour barrier to the interior side of the insulation. There are...

    My wife and I are building a house together. She's learning to read a measuring tape and now has the 16th's figured out. She's doing great. She also knows how to use a transit!

    Frost protected slab and compaction question

    Thanks for the reply - very good food for thought. Regarding keep the slab up on grade or closer to grade - my thought was to digging it in deeper would 'lock' it in as I'm concerned it's going to move or slide over time. I don't know if that's a valid concern or not - I have no reference for...

    Frost protected slab and compaction question

    Thanks all. Yes the building will be heated. My understanding is that the frost protected slab, if correctly built, does not need to be below the frost line because the design of the slab itself prevents the frost line from penetrating below the slab.... Yes, it makes sense that the longer one...

    Frost protected slab and compaction question

    Hi gents and ladies, I'm diy'ing my FPSF. It's for a 24' x 28' x 16' heated space. I already have the B base rock in place and am getting ready to dig the footing. I haven't got this engineered and wasn't planning on it - I live where I don't need to go through the permitting process. I live in...

    Is this post still ok?

    It's fine, lots of life left. If you're concerned, dig down a little and put some brush-on sealer on it to preserve it.

    On a scale of 1-10, how ugly is my house?

    I don't think it's ugly. I do think that this particular combination of a 1 story and a 2 story makes it look like there has been an addition added - the 1 story looks like the addition.

    Snow Blower advise

    Consider what you need vs what the GJ will tell you. I'm surprised no one has said you need a front end loader yet :lol: Consider: Annual snow fall - how often you need to use it? Type of snow? Light and fluffy or wet and heavy? How big of an area you need to blow? How maneuverable do you need...

    Ripping aluminum

    You can use your table saw no problem, you will likely have to file or sand the edge to get a good clean cut. It will be very loud.

    Internet to the Garage - Trenching versus Wireless -Tips Wanted

    Late to reply to this one but my experience has been that my device spends a fair amount of time trying to figure out which connections to use, when I have seperate networks for the house and garage. I think the advise above is not good, but ymmv.

    Do I need a larger cable puller or?

    Before you do anything rash - pull it all back out and apply 3x more lube and try again. That would cost very little to try.

    Internet to the Garage - Trenching versus Wireless -Tips Wanted

    You will have to configure the router in your garage to the same network name and password as the one in your house, ortherwise your device's will always be searching for the wrong network and not work. I used an old router I had on hand to do it and it works pretty well. You should Google the...

    Run ethernet cable or do wireless?

    Just run a cable and use an old router as a wifi extender, with the same network name/password. Make sure the end router is set up as a bridge. Lots of info on google.
