    Need a burke bar... Which one?

    One option if you get it replaced would be to cut the handle on the straight part. insert a piece of rebar or solid bar stock in the handle and weld back together with some plug welds to secure inside piece. this will make it heavier but also a lot more durable. I did this to my hickey bar(for...

    Today, at the salvage yard..

    I wouldn't say that is damage from the reversal, it just looks like the pitting left from the rust. I have done the electrolysis and vinegar soaks and had pieces come out looking like that.

    Leaf Rakes and lawn tools.

    3/4" electrical conduit makes a great albeit heavy replacement handle for the fiberglass handles on most rakes. I broke mine unloading(darn Ginkos) and used the conduit. I only use it for unloading now.

    Roof Pitch in NE Penna for a 30x50?

    4/12(can be less with a smaller to the weather exposure but not recommended) would be minimum for a shingle roof and fine for a metal roof. When i worked for a pole builder back in the day,4/12 was their standard unless otherwise specified.

    Not a great day to pour concrete - but I did. Should be fine right?

    I would leave the plastic on the pad as long as possible. The old timers I worked with always said it won't freeze the first night but the second night is a different story.

    Let's see your axes

    They were either bucking the trend or it was stamped wrong, possibly making it a rare on. The other thing to look at are the beat marks(for lack of a better term ) on the high arch side. This was obviously rehung before, and you can see where previous owner beat on the head to get it off the...
