Anybody interested in buying a fairly new, but slightly used Gravely ZT XL42 zero turn. Picture shows 9 hours but I fired it up the other day to do a quick cut on my lawn. Long story short, I fixed a neighbors zero turn, caught the bug, impulse bought mine and I don't really like it as much as I...

Hey everybody, got a question for anybody that has ordered metal roofing panels recently (ish). I really want to finish the ceiling in my 24x32 pole barn this winter. Last fall and into early-Mid winter I made a makeshift paint booth on the inside with plastic and I was amazed at how fast my 24K...

Hey guys I'm in the process of getting my old dodge flatbed painted, I sectioned off pretty much half of the building in plastic to control the overspray and create a somewhat clean spray booth. At this point I'm only going to paint the cab with base/clear, then probably just shoot the flatbed...

When I first ran electric to my pole barn a co-worker had some leftover 12/2 MC cable from a job that pretty much allowed me to run all my lights and outlets. Now that I'm older and I dont really do as much side work as I used to I'm starting to want to "clean things up". My question is, can I...

Working on a my dodge ram project. I'm not new to body work, but this is my first project I've taken on solo, without some guidance or advice from my dad. The drivers cab corner got hit and pushed in. I eyed it up.....it's not rusty or creased so I got a stud welder attempted to pull the dent...

Anyone ever done this? I've got a 10K Atlas floor plate lift (supersymmetric) and I'm getting ready to do some work on my new to me mustang gt. One of the jobs is going to be putting long tube headers on. You really need to lift the motor off the mounts to do it. If I backed the car onto the...

So 4 years ago, when i bought my pole barn kit the MFG didnt offer scissor trusses. And me not knowing that I'd end up doing more side work than I had planned on would end up with a lift. Which dont get me wrong, even though I can't max it out.....is a hell of a lot better than laying under any...

Just wondering if anybody has seen it or have done it themselves..... I'm inheriting a 95 12 valve cummins with a 12 foot dumpable stake body. Original plans were to shorten the frame and make it a regular dually but now my side work focus has kinda shifted a little and I'm just gonna leave the...

Thinking about pulling the trigger on some crushproof garage hose. I work on a handfull of diesel pickups, usually cars and SUVs. Looking at going with the 3" set with the "Y" then buying another straight section and coupler. But I was wondering is what adapter do you diesel guys use if you...

I need someone with the knowledge to say yes or no, it can't be done. My barn trusses are 2x4 construction, I'm pretty sure they're 10psf BCDL, 4' on center. Will I be safe using light weight 1/2 drywall? I'm gonna install nailers for the seams and probably run some in the middle to help reduce...

Hey guys, need opinion if this will work or not. Lately we've been getting a lot of freegzing rain and snow. My MrCool DIY is doing a pretty good job of knocking the chill out of my barn! The one problem I noticed the other day is that the pan after a few defrost cycles is froze. Its not that...

A few months back Verizon sent us an upgraded router to replace the old one we were using. Didn't have to return the old one so I figured I could put it down in my pole barn since it'd be nice to have internet out there. I buried about 110 feet of 3/4 pex I had laying around to get rid of it...

A week or so ago I was going to give my old grill to a coworker that just bought his first house and needed more than a camping type grill. I cleaned it up best I could and it stayed under cover for a couple months but when I opened it I was not prepared for the spiders and sprickets that went...

Whats up guys? So the last few jobs I've done kinda of had me wishing I had some sort of overhead crane vs a 2 ton engine hoist. I pulled the powerplant out of a bobcat skid steer and I managed....OK....I had to jack up the rear of the skid steer so the bottom legs would roll far enough under to...

Once the weather cools down a little bit I'm planning on installing a flood light on the house to light up the back yard a little bit. I live in a split level house with a full width patio across the back of the house. I want to mount the light under the soffit with the closest room being the...

Hey guys a while back I bought a Cornwell plasma cutter for a little body work project on my truck. It worked fine as most of the cuts were pretty short. It's a 16Amp output and you have give it an air supply. I noticed the other day (this also happened one other time) that if you're cutting...

Getting ready to add a 10x12 deck addition onto my ground level deck. There's a 6x6 post in concrete right at the corner of the existing deck. My plan was so go 2' to the left and sink a post in conrete which would leave me with about 20" or so of cantilever beam. I looked on my county's deck...

Does anybody in here have a good opinion on weather or not it's cost effective to rebuild a skid steer bucket. If I had to guess it'd be anywhere between 800-1200 depending on the side and build type. The skid steer came to my house needing a few repairs on the machine and the owner wants to...

Hey guys I've got a question, I'm not a welder by trade, but I like to think I do a pretty good job at it. I haven't committed to the idea yet but throwing it out there to see who's done it before and hopefully get a little advice. A friend of mine has a 95 Dodge 3500 with a 12 valve cummins and...

It's been a year and a month just about since I installed my compressor. Ran a 10 gauge 6' whip line to a 30 amp QO breaker. I think the total start times is probably between 15-20 between then and now. Went to use it today doing a couple of oil changes and notice that the air gauge was at 80...
