    Re: Chain fall in garage

    Normally a good place to hang a 'weight' on a truss is from the peak. There weight is supported by the truss rafters, which are held from moving out by the bottom chord in tension. I have put rods in...

    Re: Water heater won\'t stay lit

    That 6" flame should keep you in hot water all by itself. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

    Sure sounds like the thermocouple isn't staying hot enough, or in the right place, or something. Sure...

    Re: Need new binoculars?

    I don't know what the replacement is, nor where to get them fixed (might get an address and at least send them to Nikon service, as they may replace of repair with a cost estimate).

    I do wish I...

    Re: brain damaged calf

    Should ask your vet. A number of things could have been wrong. May have been in the breeding program, but it is just a guess that it might be a throwback. Mother nature took care of it.

    You will find there are a lot of people who have already decided and put into affect, the laws and regulations that 'decide' for you what you can and cannot do with your property. You may own it, but...

    Re: Ground blacktop driveway question

    Not a 'dumb' question, but I don't have the answer.
    I spilled some diesel on mine the other day, and it seems dry to walk on now (one week). I can see where it was spilled and really can't tell if...

    Re: Water heater won\'t stay lit

    To me, the fact that it is a GE, says it all. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

    Re: Turning former pasture into yard

    Welcome to the forum.

    If the wood posts have moisture in them, then the bottoms of the posts will not dry because the water is trapped.

    Re: Ground blacktop driveway question

    The reason the diesel worked well to 'clean' the truck may be the reason it works well to bind the ground-up blacktop together, when rolled. Just thinkin it might.
