Have you ever check your temp drop from your boiler to the house? The less amount of temp drop the more effiecient your system will be! I'd insullate as much as you can afford.

I have a pear tree that is getting pretty old and is deteriating pretty fast. I am interested in maybe cloning it to start a couple more before the ol' pear tree is a gonner. Can it be done? If so when (can I start now during the winter) and how?

Well it's finally time to move into my old house. And after seeing how well my parents Harman pellet stove has worked out. I'm seriously considering picking up a pellet stove of my own. I have the Quadra fire 3100 Millennium that my parents replaced with the Harman waiting to be installed and a...

Ya take the good with the bad I guess. Had the bateries die in my truck last sunday in -20. On the other hand I can't take the heat. Any thing over 75-80 and I'm dieing. The cold I can deal with.

I have been told to mix a bit of coal with your wood at night to extend burn times. Whether that is true or not, can't tell ya, never tried it. But it sounds like a viable option. How much does a ton of coal run? Guesing it's sold by the ton?

I have a cousin that has well over 200K miles on his 03 F250. And has never had a problem pulling anything he hooked up to. The only problem that I know of with them. Is on the early 4.6, 5.4, v10 heads had issues with spitting out spark plugs. On later models I don't think its an issue. My...

My parents had a 3100 in there house for 4-5 years and used ocasionaly. Worked great and never had any problems. It did put out some serious heat, which was alway's nice. It does have a blower, didn't know that was an option. But it was replaced with a pellet stove. Don't ask me why? Now it is...

I have been extremely happy with our NorthStar Horizontal/Vertical Log Splitter 22-Ton. That I picked up from northern tool, the one they sell now is a little different from mine but should work just as good. It has split around 30 cords for me, mostly oak with out any problems this year. We did...

I'll start. I'm running 3.73 gears. city: 15-17 Highway: 16-19 (hit 20 only a few times, too much of a lead foot) Towing 5-10K lbs: 10-12

To be honest I'm a die hard ford guy and have an F350 srw. And I'm glad I went the 1 ton route. 3/4 tons can pull the weight they just sag a bit for my liking. I like my truck to at least be level when hauling and towing. The milage between a srw 3/4 ton and 1 ton are normaly equal as they are...

Dido, cut it up to the length you need. If you have a rider lawn mower just get a cart for it and off you go!

Where are the results for everyone else?

Bean and I are planning on stopping over. Though we both thought it was on the 17th for some reason. I'll have to let him know and get things rescheduled. Now I'm going to have to get my chains sharpened. And show what a 455R can do!

Even if you lock the hitch down. There are simple way's around it. Like say using a smaller ball than whats required. And drive off and cut the lock off down the road. What I like to use is the covers that clamp themselves to the hitch. Like this one...

Just got a qoute on a building from steel master. On a two buildings 30x50 $15,000, 40x60 $30,000. Seems a little steep to me and these were clearance prices. I can get stick build for less.

Thanks, that is exactly what I want to do, loft and all. Though I am looking for something with a bit bigger living space. How did you seal your stick built ends to the steal? Spray insulation only? How is the insulation holding up? Any problems with it seporating from the steel?

Was there any isues with the poly bonding to the steel? Well thanks, I think you just killed my idea of a pole building. And I have seen these quonsits on craigs list for sail cheap! I may have to keep my eye open or look at one new.

Sorry a little off topic. How do you like your steel quonset? Were did you get yours from? And how much did it run you? I've looked at steelmaster and there large buildings realy are not that cost efective over stick built pole buildings. And the fact that I could not easily figure out an...

Excellent! I will be building a 40x60/80, have not made up my mind yet, next summer. It will be split into living quarters and a shop/storage area for my party rental biz. And finding information on how people have acomplished this in the past is slim to none. That is the best information I've...

And forgive me if this is not the right place for it. Next summer I plan to build a pole shed 40x60/80. And finish part to live out of and the rest will be shop and storage for my party rental side biz. I've been looking at different options and drawing out floor plans on how I'd want it to...
