I can definitely identify
What with Square D taking the whole spring summer off while I work on my farm/Hide
But I was eyeballing it just yesterday
Need to get it up and running
Good luck with Hank
All it really needs is someone like you to take an interest in it!

Nah, claymore wont do any good in a situation like that! A 40mm (m203 or m320) would be munition of choice.
But the again a .50 would be fun to stop the squiters.......
Wait, did i just go overboard........?
Gotta call ya Nater A Claymore (Capital C) would warm things up nicely But I agree it would also damage the salvageable cop car parts...

I am seriously leaning towards just running the service, and doing 1 light and 1 gfi outlet and calling for inspection. Then get final, and then start pulling wire

That's a good plan!

No limp yet Tex, jelling the r's low and steady. I am shocked about the lack of bugs too.

You've got a DOZER and you're sharpening chainsaw chain teeth? Like the chimney and building improvements, but you're slipping on the order of equipment usage- big to little is the order you should follow there Don.
It really amazing how much the ground has changed in two months!
It's more like a paux de deux (Dance for two) The tractor cleans a bit and makes things more visible for the planet killin' Sarge And when I clean up a bit first, I am eating fewer branches while the Sarge is swinging madly through the undergrowth I'm into a rhythm down there

That area is maybe seventy five feet across and I had to dig in about three feet.
I tracked in the spoils pile and rounded it off. I'll probably cover the top with gravel after getting some piping and wiring in, and let the slope go to grass
After four days of hard work, I can gladly report all my equipment is FMC!
And I have some new found work for the pre rangers

Next up, I called up the Sarge once more to cut a shelf out of the hillside just below the shed
This is the spot I will develop for the Camper, the water tank, a deck, the tower and a few other things
20662
« on: September 22, 2016, 09:39:17 PM »
I started running into these monster Cedar trees. Sarge pushed them over roots and all, and due to the fact that they were growing in some older growth forest, the branches were all at the top.
Just look at the size of this log:

Dogs were in overwatch so I wouldn't be flanked by some wayward turkey or rabbit or who knows what

Filled up my wood crib as well
20665
« on: September 22, 2016, 09:35:45 PM »
I pushed it all back maybe another 100 feet and the Sarge hardly noticed the exercise!
20666
« on: September 22, 2016, 09:34:48 PM »
So I fired up Sarge and went into wholesale mode
20667
« on: September 22, 2016, 09:32:58 PM »
And that gave rise to more and more death and destruction of perfectly healthy trees as I cut and pushed for the next few hours
20668

And the saw took care of business!

Fast forward to a new day, and first up was sharpening the chain saw teeth for a day of felling trees
I purchased this tool on recommendation from the readership, but I'd have to give it mixed reviews.
There is definitely a lot of technique with this tool, and part of the carbide burr broke off rather early in the evolution. I did get better at it, but I did not get a good clean sharpening. The saw pulled to the left while cutting, but it did pull big chunks of wood until it tried to pull some barbed wire which ended that chain's life!

« on: September 22, 2016, 09:25:42 PM »
Throughout the day I finished wiring all the outlets on the first floor and most of the switches
It's just work, but one still has to pay attention to get the wires in the right order
20672
« on: September 22, 2016, 09:23:38 PM »
I had been drilling all the holes to route the wiring with the standard flat blade wood bit. Here I am trying out the more traditional wood boring bit.
I forgot how much I used to like these things. They pull themselves through the wood which is a bunch easier

Here is the dedicated 20 Amp compressor circuit with a switched outlet
20674
« on: September 22, 2016, 09:20:53 PM »
Routing the wires in from the top and one from the side (So far) I started filling the breaker panel up

With that in the bag, it was onto more wiring
20677
« on: September 22, 2016, 09:16:58 PM »
Then came test time.
A simple cardboard fire at first to check for leaks of smoke
I didn't find any yet!
20678
« on: September 22, 2016, 09:15:37 PM »
Then after cutting back the interior stove pipe to proper length, I fitted it all together, and attached it all with the necessary three screws at each joint
20679
« on: September 22, 2016, 09:14:06 PM »
I had to work out of the bucket of the tractor to hoist the last sections into place and clamp them down, but I managed to get it done without injury!
20680
« on: September 22, 2016, 09:12:25 PM »
I added two more 36" sections and a rain diffuser, smoke cap what-cha-ma-kall-it
20681
« on: September 22, 2016, 09:11:09 PM »
Then the first section was added along with two stainless clamps that firmly attached the chimney to the building

The clean-out is easy to access
20683
« on: September 22, 2016, 09:09:21 PM »
I put a screw and a roofing nail in each hole of the base
20684
« on: September 22, 2016, 09:08:31 PM »
And with the base spaced outward 6 inches the clearances were good
20685
« on: September 22, 2016, 09:07:49 PM »
Well, the new 24" transition chimney section fit just about right

In a situation like that depicted, I think it would be wisest to eliminate all guns or at least limit magazine capacity to, say 5 or so, don't you think?

Copy that!
I've already been dropping hints about my Christmas present...
But in the spirit of a homestead/hide site, l feel I always need a manual means of getting essentials done

I always plug the eaton units
American made big and burly cast iron things
Shipping from Dayton, Ohio would be a challenge but it's a buy once kind of thing

Well today the chimney got installed!
All nine feet of it
And the final connections were made to the stove. Tomorrow morning I'll test fire it to see if I have anything else left to do like high temp silicone. But at this point it's solid!

I once snapped the pinion gear in half in the rear axle of one of my trucks. Had to use 4WD (FWD) to move which got me home, but it ground the entire diff and housing into useless pig iron.

I run a 50 amp 230 VAC circuit to my compressor. But I have a 7.5HP 4 cylinder 80 gal unit which sues a lot of juice to start up.
Why not just put in a 50 amp line and be able to handle about anything?

I didn't see a picture of the full size maul? You know the heavy hitter that you will be needing if you're honestly going to be splitting wood by hand. Not saying you won't but I thought pilots liked hydraulic equipment....... ;)
We definitely like hydraulic power Like standing some logs on end then using the front loader edge to split those suckers We like stuff like that!

Don, just don't let the red liquid out when you miss fire on a knot. Been there done that
I'll do my best! I think that right after I get the chimney in and the stove running, I'll take a break from wiring and cut a couple cords of firewood for the winter. I'll use those EastWings on the branches Hopefully without blood loss of any great magnitude!
20695
« on: September 17, 2016, 08:25:29 PM »
due to inclement weather
Pilots sure do love using the inclement weather card....
Just go out in the rain and use the axes.. ;D
Too Late, I already cancelled the mission! ;-))

Sorry, used oil analysis.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yes, I was sending in samples each time the oil counter hit zero. They kept coming back good. But after 30K, I was just uncomfortable. I purchased some Delvac, but in the end retasked that to tractor oil changes and ordered more Amsoil from Willie. I think I was at 33,000 miles on this oil and the big filter with several quarts added along the way and the small filter changed at interval.

I sorta like that color
I've seen it before... :)

The wife decided where I wanted the sink, frig, and washer/dryer...
And with that, I am mission complete for today, and in a few off to SLOWES to change out things and buy a bunch of new stuff!

I pulled a bunch more wire and wired in several more 15 amp outlet boxes

Wires are now piling in around the breaker panel!
