Thanks . I do GMs but prefer doing 9 inch Fords . I put one in my ChevelleView attachment 986255View attachment 986256View attachment 986257

looks good! no doubt the 9" Ford is beefy, but for my take... the 12-bolts were ok tweaked up a bit for most street-n-strip use... i put a 12-bolt into my '76 Nova. a 6-cyl car originally, also a LS-5

Did some paint correction on my Chevelle had halos in the paint . I painted it 94 and at that time the bc/cc was a little soft as it wasn’t high in solids . But it polishes up real easy with hardly any abrasives just a light polish with griots and a black pad on the flex orbital polisher . View attachment 986237View attachment 986238

Ya missed a spot!


Envious.

Not firewood, but scrounge and wood apply. 50 railroad ties scrounged tonight. Hand loaded after dinner with Dad. 200lbs apiece

Hey guys.

The new boiler/instant hot water install is done except for the electrician who is coming Monday to install a new receptacle next to the new boiler (it actually plugs into the wall versus being hard wired) and hook up the pump and heat zones. I don’t know the financial damage yet but it sure looks nice.

I do have hot water right now but no heat. Which is not a big deal because it’s been in the 60s during the day here and my gas fireplace keeps things warm at night once the residual heat resides.

quite a change! all u need and in such a smaller space. my guess is come cold winter mornings... it will all be little more than a pittance.

Looks way more simplified and streamlined. Good deal!

Saw this at the farm store/ stihl shop yesterday. Prolly would haul at least a 1/4 cord with the big tire.

Looks like the off-road version to me. But with a drag radial that size it may be faster in the 1/4 mile too.

I wonder what your 1/4 cord 1/4 mile time would be h-ranch... maybe break the 100,000,000 btu barrier

Nobody can top h-ranch. He is running two wheelbarrows at the same time now!

Navien is a good boiler. I was looking into them when my boiler quit at Christmas a couple years ago. Due to what was available at Christmas time, I ended up with a triangle tube unit (no complaints). That Navien should give good service.

Funny, I’ve been researching on demand tankless water heaters the last couple days. I stumbled across Navien, it’s more than I want to spend on a small cabin. Right now I’m liking Excel.

Put up a few loads even though I'm a bit under the weather - no breaking the sound barrier with the wheelbarrow tonight.
