Bird,

If my neighbor's hear me, the nearest is maybe 2000 feet away, they are going to think I'm nuts. But I'm going to go outside one night with the dog and see what happens if we both start...

Its funny that this thread bounced back up.

About a month ago I heard some weird yelping noises most of the night. It ranged from the road up close to the house. It sounded like a wounded goose...

eddie,

You can get geotextile fabric to put down on the existing grade. Then put the gravel on top. The fabric keeps the stone from being pushed into the dirt.

I built my driveway with fabric...

LazyJ,

GatorBoy hit the nail on the head with the beaver problem. You need pond levelers. As long as you have beaver habitat you will have beavers come on in. You can kill them but more will...

weedsportpete,

We had to decide on which windows to put in the new house we are building. After looking at different window's energy numbers, running the values through REFSEN, we decided to use...

I bought a rubber two wheeled barrow in 1996. It has been
sitting outside in the rain ever since. Still no rust. 8-)

I have three Stihl's, a 046 Pro chainsaw, a FS80, I think, weed
wacker/brushcutter and a handheld blower.

The FS80 has to be around 10 years old. And HAS been used.
The only problem...

Phred,

What I did is take some 2x4 PT wood and cut it to fit the pockets
in the bed liner. I had to put in extra 2x material to get the 2x4
to firmly hold the box in place. I also had to...

Shabehr,

Ask you code instpector if you have one.

In my area we can go anywhere over the footer as long as
we are not closer than 2 inches to the edge of the footer. In
other words if my...

Tractors4,

Talk to the Corps of Engineers and/or the state environmental
aganecies. If sounds like you want to build up the land to stop
the creek from overflowing. That might be illegal.

Pat,

There was a Wall Street Journal article in the last couple of days
that listed the number of days a car sat on the lot before being
sold. The Prius was the quickest seller off the lot. ...

Rob,

You might want to check with the local community colleges. I saw
some night time classes on laying masonary. I was thinking about
taking the classes for some of my projects. It might be...

Mark,

Have you decided what you want to do with the timber?

If you are going to sell, talk to a state forester. In NC there
is an 800 number to call that will give the last quarters price
on...

Wingnut,

I read of the same study that the airflow in the bed of the
truck creates a bubble which cuts down on drag.

I did a test a few years ago with my tailgate up/down.

I had to drive...

it. There where some "planting" areas under the trees that
consisted of a little bit of soil and pine straw. What I ended...

Mosey,

I'm getting into this discussion a bit late but here it goes.

We have had the same problems in our house. We have some
track lighting where the bulbs seem to go out every 45/60
days. ...

MoutainBoy,

I would try to grind the stump or dig it out.

I have burned about a half dozen 36inch stumps and it takes
a BIG fire burning along time to make these things go away.

By big...

Diesel with a 4.10 rear axle got about 15-16mpg in the city.
Maybe 19 on the highway if I kept it at or near 55pmh. It
had a 5...

Everyone,

Thanks for the replies. 10x10 sounds about right for the
mature trees. That seems to be the distance I was seeing
in the pine forest I used to have prior to the timbering.

I have...

Only been trying to do this for two years! /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif And I really
wanted to order in January........

Bayrat,

I'm coming into this thread a bit late...

My understanding of Tyvek is that it is a vapor barrier. Its
not a moisture barrier. The other wraps are the same. Now
this is good for...
