Maybe a chainsaw holster on the tractor with an ignition interrupt switch. If the saw is not in it the tractor won’t runSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Is everyone done?Should I parse out another page or two for the "Helpful" suggestions OK, back at it. Two more days of reconfiguring nature down farmside.First, check out the passive solar heaters. Can you believe the efficiency of these things? Outside air temp (in the sun, actual static temp was mid 50's. And the sensor located at the output of the heaters shows 100.6F Almost a forty degree delta there folks! When I opened up the water tank storage shed doors, I was greeted by heat! As in it was actually hot in there. The high angle summer sun has some effect, however not all that much. The low angle winter sun just pushes photons into those black painted aluminum tubes. So far this thing is a stunning success. I will be using more of these things in my upcoming construction

What happened to the saw mill that was going to save thousands of dollars on lumber? Buying wood at HD? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
https://www.lowes.com/pd/Bostitch-Framing-Nailer/3348476Best $50 I ever spent. Makes installing those simpson nails a piece of cake. Much cheaper than the simpson screws (although those do have their place)I love those torx drive screws and will never use phillips deck screws again.Question Don: Why do you need hurricane straps on that roof when the base is held down by gravity? By the time the roof wants to fly off it will be taking the whole base with it....
Don, are you going to engineer an angled overhang for the trailer side of the roof? Would help the wind go over instead of under the tin and create slight down force.
Just a 1-2 foot section angled down from the high spot over hanging over the camper with about a 1-2 inch gap to keep it off the rubber Rv roof allowing air to flow over it.
