Sparky-(Admin) 21,315 #5077 Posted December 9, 2022 Felt like a good painting day, got these 11 year old steelies with snow tires cleaned & painted up before our winter/snow hits. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,456 #5078 Posted December 10, 2022 Been in a changing and organizing mode lately what with the new building being done. Trying to make sure things are best placed. Often kept mobile. I'm hoping to plan right... Today we moved the stand up drill press from the basement workshop out to the barn. Also moved the Big vise across the room. I put it in the empty spot on the far corner. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjoemie himself 3,068 #5079 Posted December 11, 2022 Made a roof and added some much needed space to my wood storage. Still have to install some trim on the front to make it look purdy. Before After 3 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brockport Bill 1,661 #5083 Posted December 11, 2022 1983, C175h, Series 1, with this winter's plow install -- first snow of the season expected today in Hudson River Valley, NY ......1-3 inches expected....Did blade rehab on my original 1989, 48 inch plow this summer that's been riding on my 312-8 for 33 years -- cleaned all the rust and painted - plus new wear bar bolts -- almost sorry to get it dirty. The hydo lift on the C175 will be nice change from the manual lift on the 312-8 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brockport Bill 1,661 #5085 Posted December 11, 2022 yup - that lumbar L4-5 lower back will be much happier with the hydro lift 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 25,548 #5086 Posted December 11, 2022 I respectfully disagree... I love my C-105 and E-141 manual lifts... Part of my exercise routine... 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brockport Bill 1,661 #5087 Posted December 11, 2022 Part of my exercise routine... i certainly do my exercise routine and am very active ... but once you have L 4-5 stenosis and arthritis or also a sports injury then the hydro lift is much better option 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,841 #5091 Posted December 13, 2022 I installed a pellet stove today. It’s on a t-stat to keep the basement 68 or so, and we’ll go from there. If we can take the chill off the floors, that would be nice! I’m building a bin with pressure treated feet next, 4’x4’x3’ to hold a ton of pellets. Literally 2,000 lbs, not just a lot. @ebinmaine @sjoemie himself y’all can figure out the volume in Rubik’s cubes! After the bin is built, I’ll build a chute out of 6” round furnace duct. The cap outside will be insulated to keep the drafts down and rodents out. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why in hells creation would you need a pellet stove in the basement when you have outdoor wood? Did I not teach you anything grasshopper? Heat rises cool falls... just sayin.

What stove is that? I have a Lennox/Whitfield in the house that's been chugging along for 22 years now. Eats an ignitor every year and a couple fan motors replaced but still burns good. I got a Harman P43 brand new in the box yet so I may replace the one in the house and bring that one out to the shop now that I spend all day out here. Try and cut down the wood usage. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
