  1. Tip for spring riding mower care

    I've switched to HD diesel 15w-40 in anything without a catalytic converter. That's what's in my lawnmower.

  2. Tip for spring riding mower care

    If you've got a riding mower that takes the typical Briggs branded oil filter (or one of the alternate brands like Oregon or Stens), typically their part number 492932 or 492932S, as long as you have an extra inch of clearance where the filter mounts, you can use Walmart's Supertech ST3614...

    Electric chainsaws (who's a fan?)

    They occasionally offer coupon deals where you buy a tool, and they give you a battery and charger. We have the Atlas chainsaw, pole saw, blower, weed trimmer and hedge trimmer. All have been excellent. Good quality, homeowner/prosumer type tools. They get regular use and have held up well.

    Electric chainsaws (who's a fan?)

    We have the HF Atlas 16" 40v. It's great. Very convenient. Not as powerful as a gas saw, but with a sharp chain, in a pinch, it can clean up a downed tree of modest proportions. Case in point: We had threes tree come down during last week's storms. All pines about the same size: 10 to...

  5. Pressure wash or other method to remove moss?

    Didn't look, but it's a beautiful place, for sure!

  6. Pressure wash or other method to remove moss?

    Meant to add: Many of the newer pressure washers come with different nozzles to vary the width (and pressure) of the spray. The wider the spray fan from the nozzle, the less hard it hits the surface. Gives you some control over how harshly you are washing.

  7. Pressure wash or other method to remove moss?

    How's the fishing behind your house?

  8. Pressure wash or other method to remove moss?

    Most rock/slate generally has a harder surface than concrete. Highly recommend one of the new Ryobi electric models. They're a bit gentler than most gas models. I used to use a Honda gas-powered 2300psi unit for everything. Had a chance to try a friend's 1800psi Ryobi electric, and it was a...

    Building a barn

    Had to put it aside for nearly a year to get another projects done and deal with a heavy day-job workload. I'm getting ready to get back to it. Have to put up some purlins, and then it will be time for the roof.

  11. HVAC mini split install question

    I'm installing a mini split for an office shed. Have a question about the refrigerant connections. I see a lot of people recommend Nylog Blue. I will certainly get some if there are no alternatives. But are the sealants I have on hand, like Rectoseal 5 or T-2 adequate for the same task, or...

  12. Woodworking pros listen please

    If the project isn't one that will ever have to tolerate alcohol spills, I love Zinser Bullseye Shellac for birch. Shellac sits on the surface of the wood, doesn't penetrate. Can be removed with alcohol. Shellac can also be tinted with dies for different colors.

  13. Travel type trailer as a 1 to 2 year living setup

    Probably would do a gravel pad, build a pole shed roof, and put a deck in place of the RV stairs. I'd be doing the trenching for water, electricity and internet myself. Probably a fiber line, run right to the electrical post, and either an outdoor wifi access point, or mount a router in one of...

    My son currently lives at home. He recently graduated from college. Landed his first job, working remotely for a firm up in CT. He's doing great. Getting paid a decent wage and benefits, liking his job, learning a lot, getting good feedback from his employer and the employer's clients about...

    Building a barn

    The wife and I started a project back in March that we've talked about for many years: Building a barn. Thought I'd share our progress here, as it's finally taking shape. It will be a 36x36, raised center aisle pole barn, with a loft in the center. We looked at having someone else build it...
