I am in major trouble when it comes to cash, so it made more sense to use my low interest Home Depot card to get me out of the bind I'm in. I have several acres and need to keep it mowed down because the ticks eat me alive. Renting something or hiring someone to mow for me just won't be feasible...

Going to buy one tomorrow. All the reviews show this is a great starter mower. Definitely undersized for the size of my property, but fits my budget and will get the job done. Thought I would share my research into small mowers like this, will update later with my personal experience.

Yes unfortunately my RV water heater only works off propane, electric heating element is dead. I will probably end up renting/leasing one of those big propane tanks for heat come this winter. As far as power, the meter box the power company required and Installed for me already has 4 breaker...

Yeah that will be something to figure out after I move to the property. It's deep summer so I think I will just ghetto rig up a sch 80 riser so I can move up there. I hate having to do things over but it will be much easier while I am already living thete

Well I meant so that I could have hot water showers outside. Arkansas weather is the most amazing thing I've ever seen, but after doing some work while it was hot and humid out, even the lukewarm water I poured over my head was a shock. I'd like to have temp control to keep me from both...

I am also a fan of brass fittings so I am thinking I will install another access box and shutoff valve at least, and the earlier backflow preventer valve that was recommended if I can afford one. Unfortunately, my outside shower on my trailer s on the wrong side 😔 I need to research and find...

I will eventually need a much bigger pipe, my property is an acreage and I plan to grow a lot of crops. I just need a temporary hookup for my trailer so I can move there, the property is over 2 hours away from where I am currently living so it's hard to get much done having to drive so far to...

The water company installed a box over the meter, yes. I do have a pressure regulator I use on my RV at the inlet, that should be fine, right? I was looking at the frost free hydrants but daaaaang they are expensive. I'm in a bad way when it comes to money... That ***** if the threads are...

My RV water line will have plenty of room to reach straight to the meter. I just need a spigot installed off of a the stub the water company left right now so I can move onto the property ASAP. Would a schedule 80 PVC pipe riser strapped to a 4x4 suffice? I'm sure I will alter/add on later, I...

Water company just installed my water meter at my North Arkansas property recently. They left a 3/4" Schedule 80 male threaded pipe off the end of it. I just need a single spigot right now to hook my RV up to. I bought a galvanized threaded riser pipe, but I have since heard that galvanized...

I don't think they even left me any copper wire in my case, lol. Thank you for your great detailed explanation!

This is a very rural bare land acreage. I doubt there is a ground rod anywhere on it. I'm not going to move my RV onto the land until I get the outlet set up. Very good to know. I will probably just use #4 to be safe. I didn't know to do 2 ground rods, but will definitely do so. Fortunately...

That's what I wasn't sure of, if the ground/neutral bonding in the box is a good enough ground as is. They did not install a ground rod. I know the neutral and ground busses must NOT be bonded on any subpanels after the first one, and requires a ground rod, but unsure on if a ground rod is...

Had the power company install a meter/load center combo panel at my property recently. It has 4 breaker spaces below the 200 amp main breaker. I want to install a 30 amp RV outlet right next to the panel. My major question is about grounding the panel. Since it is a combo meter/panel, I know...

In escrow on bare land property. Had an engineer layout a system on property and had a septic company dig the test pits yesterday. The engineer told me the soil will pass the State inspection no problem and that it would be fine to go ahead and close on the deal. They don't do drainage tests...

Hmmm this is my first time working on a classic car. This is his master cylinder...will the motive tool even work with this? https://ibb.co/N3pNmfT

Thanks. That isn't exactly the kit I was thinking about, but would still definitely be easier than via vacuum tool. The one I was thinking of actually used a resevoir/cap fed by compressed air. The motive product looks legit for sure though. Now I just need to figure out which cap adapter we...

So I'm helping my friend with his '55 Chevy. He's ready to get the brake system bled. A few years ago I saw a bleeder kit from Amazon with stellar reviews on the forums that used air pressure through the reservoir rather than using vacuum at the brake fittings themselves. Unfortunately I can...

900 sq ft flat roof with 8' ceilings. It is a natural gas unit. Second HVAC guy came out today. Quoted me $2,200 - but I think he inflated his quote in order to push a used "6-year old 2.5 ton Bryant unit" for $3,500 installed with 6 mos no interest financing. He also said this unit is close to...

I was getting a lot of lag and double posts yesterday afternoon, guessing that is what Ryan was referencing. Much appreciation for your work Ryan. GarageJournal has got to be THE most epic forum that yet remains.
