I get a farm magazine/newspaper that shows what farmers have made/modified or invented. It's Farmshow magazine, interesting reading and they did have a farmer who used round bales to heat with. ...

I don't worry about the slag when filling a hole. You will get some inclusions but the material you're working on is so thin anyway strength is not likley a huge issue. If it were the material...

If you want to insulate it anyway just put up some blue board on the inside. That's keep the wind/air infiltration out and insulate at the same time. You won't have to worry about rot because that...

6013 is pretty decent rod but it's got pretty good penetration too, which, in your application you don't need. Try a 7014. It's called mud rod and had iron fillings in it and leaves a pretty big...

Just another cheap way of doing a floor is to take a bag of sakrete mix, one per square yard of floor area or so, and rototill it into the dirt, level it all out and roll/tamp. I've seen plans for...

<font color="blue">I used to treat the dirt floor with the sodium chloride </font color>
THINK he meant calcium choride. Sodium choride IS salt and CaCl is what they use on roads and parking lots...

Lot of good info here. I've always had dogs from puppies so can't speak too much to re-socializing. We have a female rottweiler, small for the breed at 100lbs but we made sure from the start that...

Talk to the fence supplier - they'll have specs on post spacing but I've seen coated high tensile with 25-30 foot spacing. Re the corner posts you will absolutely have to brace them or over time...

I had the same problem when adding a 20 x 30 addition to our arena, land sloped about 2 feet in 25 feet, sloping away from the arena. I brought in crushed stone as fill and prepared a level site...

pat had a lot of good info but, like he said, what are you planning on keeping in?? Cows you can get by with high tensile single wire. Horses I would never use that stuff unless you have some very...

I just put in two, two bulb units in my barn of the new thin style and the portable radio about 10 feet away works fine. Haven't noticed any problem at all /forums/images/icons/confused.gif

heck, that's an easy fix, do a google on permalon, it's a pond liner, pretty cheap (maybe .45 sq ft) and has good stretch capacity. They use it for landfill liner. It's a little stiff for small...

gorgeous property - kind of what I have pictured for my next piece!! /forums/images/icons/grin.gif I'd LOVE a little running creek on my land 'cause then I'd dig a BIG hole, divert the creek in one...

Don't have much to add about the wiring aspect but I'll echo the fluorescent question. halogens are nice but take a lot of wattage for the lumes you get. 3600 watts at $.12/kilowatt will cost you...

All good advice from benson though in Florida you won't have to worry too much about condensation. I also wouldn't rip up the floors if they're concrete now but you would have to put down rubber...

Other than previous mentioned tips about using hardwoods what size are you cutting your logs? Once you have once the fires going you can put in some pretty big chunks and they burn slower due to...

I have a makita screw gun that I've hung a fair amount of sheetrock with as well as doing decks - lot of torque. That said I don't use it for metal siding or metal roof. The screw gun's designed to...

We're in the process of adding three more stalls. We have the solid rubber in the other stalls, both interlock and non interlock. For the solid 3/4 inch rubber the interlock is far superior to...

Sounds right, the older guns probably did not have it and now porter cable is willing to retrofit. Even without the single fire configuration, every gun I've ever used was capable of double tapping...

I think you'll be pretty happy with hemlock. We use it for all our horse stalls and we just added a 9 x 50 foot hay storage addition and are in the process of finishing a 20 x 30 foot addition to...

Sorry about your injury but I have to be a little blunt here and point to operator error. That model has a settable trigger. You can set it for contact fire (depress trigger, then push against the...

We don't use baled clover but we do have a fair amount of wild clover in the pastures - the horses love it and seek it out. Must be tastier than the fescues.

Has anyone had/used a Holland grill?. I'm in the market and have seen them at the NY State fair. Main difference is you have to cook with the lid down and you cook by time. One temp for the burner...

I'm in the process of adding a 20 x 30 foot barn addition and the contractor, who I've been VERY happy with, only uses running crush to backfill the posts, not the dirt taken out of the hole. He...

Don't all compressors have a releif valve built right on the unit?? My cutout is 120psi and I have a releif valve on the compressor itself that pops out someplace after 120psi. It also has a pull...
