I can't believe it has taken this long to get this out-house project closed out. Last night I finally started installing the roof. I'm using the same 40 year metal that went up on the pavilion and will eventually adorn everything down there.

Including poking the hole in it for the vent stack. A rubberized boot will fit over the pipe then flush to the roof. I notched it where the rib on the roof metal runs and plan to seal it with caulk or rubber something or another

Finished up the last vent for the rear. It will be outside temperature, at least that is the current plan. I may cover that hole up and build up a passive solar heater like I did for the water storage shed, dunno. At this time I just want it done and fully installed.

I then removed the plywood throne topper and discarded it in favor for a piece of cheap countertop. Once I get it all fitted and cut all the holes into it, I'll coat the bottom with fiberglass resin or something like it to completely seal it against what may be a relatively moist atmosphere on the other side...

It's lost to be sure. No recovery for that one. Must be time for a bigger mower!

But what can I get? This one has a big block engine makin' 32HP which is a chunk of change for a mower.

I'm not buyin' anything green, that's for sure!

They're gone!
I can hear them from time to time, but no new cow pies in my working AO!

As for critters, I think without my living there full time would be problematic. I want chickens first up, then a pasture for a horse and a couple cows. Will try and get some geese in on the pond when I finally get that done, and of course have at least one of them stocked with protein (eatin') fisheses.
I'll build a martin house this winter and nail that sucker to a tree stalk I saved just for that. Idea there is to cut down on the bugs. Between those and Chickens you can get pretty bug free!

Don, it seems you are down there enough you could already have chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese and guineas. They're pretty self sufficient animals. Especially if you set up a "auto feeder", essentially something that can hold 100lbs of feed! They'll be good between the couple days to a week your not down there.

If you do this make sure their all hens, so you don't come back to a broody bird sitting on a clutch of eggs.

Familiar! We have coyotes in significant numbers around where we live, drives the dogs nuts which in turn drives me nuts because they don't stop barking! Haveta go outside shoo the dog into the kennel then go back to bed.... usually only to be woken up again within an hour.

Well, first up I repaired the bush hog which had fallen apart and become partially disconnected. Dunno, but for an industrial unit, I think I am finding its limits. It's looking a bit banged up after making all that gravel from the native chunks of limestone

So, I replaced almost all the various clips and keepers with gool old 1/4" and 5/16" bolts and nylon locking nuts. And guess what?

It worked!

Yep nothing fell apart after bush hogging 20-30 acres!

Darn!!!!!!!!!!!

For no apparent reason, the grapple stopped working!

I was yanking some branches off some locust trees, and when I tried to open the thing it would only move a couple inches. Now, the switch is working because you can hear the sound of the pump laboring, and the lines jerk from being slammed with pressure, but the jaw will not open nor close

Don I'm a big fan of Sherwin Williams Duration paint laid on with a sprayer.  Get a HVLP and just pop the top off the little opening in the 5 gal pail and drop the suction hose in.  Paint away!  That stuff is really tough.

I just re-read my post...
I was referring to the paint on the front door. No, the paint on the rest of the thing is like the day they sprayed it. Good to go for probably 10 years

I concur about the SW good stuff. Have used it myself.

No with a HVLP mind you, but with a roller, a brush and the normal pressure sprayer made for this kind of painting.

Last night the temp dipped down to 22F, cold enough to do damage to pipes. Luckily the camper is mostly PEX and everything I am doing now is PEX so I made it OK. But today I was taking no chances, so i drove down there and turned on the furnace. It is set at 42F which should keep everything above freezing and not eat all of my precious LP gas up.

This little pipe, however will be a freeze problem:

I just invested in some foam pipe insulation and made several wraps with that. I have an average of three thicknesses of the foam insulation covering the pipe. I ran out of reflective tape, but I plan to cover it completely and see if that can keep the water in liquid form through the winter

Then I went after the building housing the water tanks.

First I looked for obvious air leaks or openings. It has stayed pretty much intact and is fairly well sealed. But the doors were not fitting properly, so I adjusted them and added some foam insulation to seal them a bit better

I unshrouded the solar collectors and they immediately started pumping heat.

Now, it was an overcast day and windy, but look at the temp differential after just a half hour or so:

^^^Cloudy day folks, and that's free heat

Then I inspected the collectors and found the lexan panels were all loose and some of the foam had decomposed. OK, so I'll need to scrape and apply some different foam product, but for now I screwed the panels in place which will increase their efficiency a bit I would think.

CARREP. Apparently the bush hogging killed a tire. I just started to move this tractor and the tire came off the bead!

But with some fiddling, I got it resealed and reinflated

This is a great example of one of the laws of work which accurately states:

To do any work, one must first have to work on something just to be able to work.

THis tire has taken a beating. Look at this chunk out of the sidewall:

I still have to finish this gable end. Hope to get it done PDQ, along with mounting the outhouse over its hole

In spite of exposure to the elements, things are holding up fairly well

And I fixed the big tractor!

Turned out while bush hogging which I have learned over the years (decades) is about as destructive as the 24th Infantry Division during Desert Storm. I damaged the tractor.
That's not news, it's expected
Some stick dogged into the hydraulic lines and opened a quick release connector. Now it appeared to be connected, but was actually disconnected. I pushed it back together and full hydraulic function returned!

This thing has been eating itself through millions of weeds, stalks of grass, branches, small critters and even ran over and bush hogged a car leaf spring assembly!
