i personally would not try to put a truck back on the road that hasnt been on the road for a while, and unless its mint, i just dont see this being a good idea. if its just been driven around to haul hay around the farm or whatever......it just seems like more money gets put into it than its...

in the splitter thread, i saw a bunch of guys using a 4 way wedge on their splitter. i am kind of interested in fabbing one for my buddys splitter, (not out of the kindness of my heart, i use the thing too) pros and cons?? maybe some pics??

1993 toyota p/u. 2.4L just really the coolest truck ive ever owned. throw wood in it, on it, at it.....when i got it, the rear leafs were cracked, and held together by a muffler clamp, so i replaced 'em. i neatly stack split wood in the back as much i can possibly fit, and my tires bulge a...

my guess for weight is way over 7,000 lbs. i have driven a small case skid loader all the way forward on a trailer, and didnt look anything like that. i bet the trailer and twig weighed more than 10,000 lbs, which you would actually need a class A cdl to drive. i'm pretty sure that guy doesnt...

here's what i know about chainsaws....very little. but, i know that all chainsaws are not created equal. after working up a sweat using my free homelite saw (with a sharp chain) to cut wood, my tree buddy let me use one of his old husk-varna (i know...sp) saws. without sharpening the chain on...

i'm not an expert here, but i am looking at my options for hot water. currently its a coil in my oil boiler that is going bad. i think without some type of storage your sidearm would have to be quite large, and probably incorporate some spiraling or something to maximize heat transfer. i...

i always get a kick out of craigslist. my search for "firewood" results in so many adds that say "free firewood". like a dummy i click on it....."i have a big tree it needs to come down, its huge, you will get lots of firewood" i really wonder if anyone really replies to those adds. to me...

i clean mine about every three weeks or so, the boiler idles a little, plus i would rather not have a chimney fire. i clean mine from about 1/3 up the double wall running up the side of my house. someone from another board passed along this awesome idea. my breaching pipe exits my house below...

i have had every diesel engine ford ever put in thier truck. 1985 f-250, 6.9 L - great motor if you dont need to go anywheres in a hurry. 1991 f-250 7.3 L - great motor, got you there a little quicker. transmissions where a big dissapointment though. 1995 f-350 7.3 DIT - fastest truck i...

you can use the dye that is used for a/c work. however with the size of the hyd. resevoir, you would probably end up having to put alot in. works ok on engine leaks, in the 5-6 qt range.

if anyone needs a generator hooked up to your house, please call Labman's master electrician. make sure you have his number handy for when the lights in your house start to pulse.

cleanburn - what i am trying to say is because my chimney is high, the likelyhood of me smoking out my neighbors is less than if i had an OWB parked in my backyard. my ex gf lives 500' from my buddy, and she smells it cooking away. none of my neighbors have come to me to complain about the...

i read alot about owb's being 200' from a neighbors house. i have an indoor boiler, my buddy has an outdoor boiler. my neighbors are very close. his neighbors are far away. my chimney is higher than mine and my neighbors houses. his chimney cap can be accessed by standing on a small log...

i think what most people fail to understand is that they need to completly disconnect their house from the rest of the world when backfeeding or even going through a transfer switch. simply shutting off your main does not completly disconnect you. the main only disconnects the hot side of your...

i have happily used one for many years now. its great for heating my house when the temps are 40 and above....it works great. i have a small stove from quadrafire, and i dont recommend sticking your face infront of the air coming out of it. true, down at lower temps it becomes inefficient...

i had a smokey fireplace, so i have been through all this....i forget what its called, rumsfield, rumsford...something like that. rumsford rule(if thats it) the chimney area needs to be 10% of the fireplace opening. i think thats what it is, so if you have a round chimney is PI(R)squared...i...

well, there may be some truth to what the plumber told you. i didnt really get into it with my buddy, but he has a OWB, and forced hot air, except some radiant floor heating upstairs. he had to install a pressure vessel in his basement. like i said, i didnt get into the whole schmeel, but he...

i just went and got my deposit back on my harman indoor wood boiler. i ordered it in june, and when i was giving the third delivery date of dec 30th, i started to look elsewhere. i figured they had given me three dates thus far, no reason why they wouldnt give me a fourth date, like just about...

i thought you wanted your stack temp to be pretty much as high as possible, to reduce creosote. i dont think reducing your stack temp is a good idea. my 2 cents here, nothing more.

i was at my insurance agent office and i asked them if they had any problems with me installing a wood boiler in my basement. they said "no problem" i said, wanna come look at it after its in? they said "no". must just be easier to write a new policy, than come ispect my stuff.......i did...
