Brimfield, a metal detector also works. The lids have metal re-bar in them that show up well on a metal detector.

If all else fails, the person who will pump the tank can usually find it easily...

This is amazing that there is more than one of suffering from a similar problem.

I went in to have my old tool checked today as I ain't been "up to snuff" for about a week. Turns out my large...

Speedbump, why a jet pump instead of a submersible pump? I have a similar situation and was thinking of a submersible. Is one better than the other?

Bob

mleininger, I can't answer your question about a fan (I believe the correct terminology is a vacuum pump), but can share a story with you.

I have a friend who tried to do radon mitigation...

Rick, if you will pm me with your email, I'll send you a PDF file that I give to people when they start planning for a new home. I have put this list together over several years of consulting on new...

Can you put the clamp washer on the other side of the blade to move the blade over?

Bob

You might want to look into the metal roofs for decks. I did one several years ago. It was 12 x 36 and went up in one weekend. One side attached to the house and the other to metal poles that sit...

Leef, 35 - 38 minutes of a sermon will make a very large wav file. I have a 12 minute recording that is 128 meg, so your 35 - 38 minute file would be roughly 3 times as large, which even with a...

Mysticokra, be careful with that Porter-Cable. Search this board for FR350 and read my post from 2003. I'm going to try to post the link here but if it does not work you will have to search. ...

After the trees are piled up, the skidder grabs a few and drags them to the loader where they are cut to length and loaded onto a truck and taken to the mill.

This is the skidder in action.

Bob

This tree has been cut and is about to be put down beside the others.

Bob

Once the tree has been cut, the cutter picks the tree straight up. The operator can then drive around with the tree. He puts them into a pile for the skidder to take them to the loader.

Bob

This is the cutter in action. It is driven up to a tree, and the arms surround the tree and pull the cutting blade into the tree. For large trees (anything over 24 inches) they cut from the back,...

This is a close-up of the business end of the cutter. Very impressive teeth.

I might add that this cutter has an air conditioned cab, stereo CD player with am/fm radio. All the creature...

JP, I don't want to steal your thread, but I have some closeup pictures of the cutters used 2 years ago when I built a pond. This first picture shows the tree cutter.

Bob

Tim, he said it was not necessary.

Bob

Don, rather than buy those expensive shears you mentioned, I saw some in Home Depot that were made by Porter Cable for $199. I bought them and have cut a bunch of Hardie Plank with them.

I...

Patrick, did you decide on the finish for your screen porch walls and ceiling?

Bob

Cindy, let me give you 2 that serve this portion of North Carolina. Both are very small but great local papers. I'll try to post the urls so you can link to them.

The Sanford Herald

The Apex...

Slyder, can you post pictures of the construction? I think many of would find it very interesting. Thanks.

Bob

Gary, that is a nice chair, however, I would like for the back to be higher. So far have not found one with a back that is high enough for me - I'm 6'2" and would like to find a chair where I could...

The last picture shows the whole wall so you can perhaps put everything into perspective.

If you have additional questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

Bob

The next picture is a closeup of the floor and the bottom of the windows. As I said earlier, the material on the bottom of the windows and the uprights beside the windows is hardiplank, painted...

Patrick, the first picture is of the ceiling. This is 3" beadboard planks with 2 coats of poly applied.

Patrick, I have a similar set up. I put a sunroom on our house in 1999, and attached a 12 x 16 screen porch to the side of the sun room.

I wanted everything to be water resistant in case rain...
