I'd go with wood for two reasons. I think brick would look out of place going to a wood porch with no other brick around and wood is way easier. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

My plan is to clear it of most of the interior walls I would put in and just make it a heated shop with a full bath, office and some type of wash tub/sink. With that in mind, I'm trying to come up...

I have some friends who own a mattress store. First, let me tell you they describe it as a "cash cow." The profits and markups are absolutely HUGE!

One thing they did tell me about mattresses is...

From what I understand I had some stuff in there that made it unappealing for anyone to bale so I just brush hogged it a couple times. I ran north and south a couple weeks ago then east and west...

I have some property with a section near the road with a frontage of 515' and runs back about another 500' to my barn. It was literally left to seed for six or seven years before I got it and took a...

I noticed tonight that I've still lost some air so I must not have completely sealed the connection that was bad or may have a problem elsewhere. I've still got air pressure but it's noticeably...

Pat,

That was one heckuva good explanation. Amazingly though, I think I actually solved the problem before I read it. /forums/images/icons/shocked.gif

It turns out that if you're frugal and...

I added a pair of overload airbags on the rear of my truck. In so doing I had the rear end jacked up by the frame with all weight off the rear wheels. Since then the truck rides like I have no...

For what it's worth, I just heard a radio ad for Sakrete in sixty pound bags for something under $2.00 per bag.

I just kept asking around with people I knew to see if anyone had any 1/2" &amp; 3/4" black pipe and, lo and behold, the brother of a friend says he has some 1/2" I can have, but no 3/4" at all. He then...

I'm going to be the odd one here (nothing new in that). I'm using black pipe for mine for one simple reason. I can get 21' sections of 1" &amp; 1/2" black pipe free. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif As...

If you want to be 'hands on" yet still be assured of a good finished product since concrete isn't very forgiving and doesn't wait for anyone, you might want to consider hiring some people who know...

Are you absolutely certain where you'll be building your home on the site? If you aren't I'd be very careful just running electric underground to an 'approximate area' of my site.

Quite a few years ago I bought and installed some really cheap Reynolds vinyl replacement windows (their 'Remodeler" or "Revovator" series, I believe) in a house I'd bought as a rental. Ironically,...

This weekend we host the annual Muddy River Run car show here with hundreds of collectables and street rods. Lot's and lots of chrome around town. Always fun to see.

I have a 'G-F' or 'G-B' brand (red with black handle) and highly recommend you get yourself something ELSE.

Austi,

To give you a short answer to the question in your subject line, my advice would be to buy near friendly, helpful, experienced farmers. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

One of the funniest things to me about the Purdue University degree is the fact that it's valued even more outside Indiana than it is here. I think it's that "expert from afar" thing.

If you fill out your profile it makes it easier for anyone to see where you are, etc. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

For something like that I think it will depend on the type of use you want to...

Add my voice to that chorus. I said from day one that the problem was NOT in the tires.

It is neat but, as you said, they are dated (at least mine were). I don't know if it's from the same source, but you can get aerial views of any address through www.mapquest.com also. Those weren't...

We're pretty fortunate here with three major schools like this. Certainly a Notre Dame degree will get you an interview about anywhere (what happens from then, of course, is up to you). Both...
