    Solar farm and a tornado

    We don't have many tax credits and rebates here, so pricing out a system for the roof with no batteries gave me a 20-year payoff assuming I did all of the installation myself. Paying a company to do it would double the costs for me and it'd never pay itself off as none of the equipment would...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Reminds me of when I fired up the big backpack Stihl leaf blower in the house. Whoa, the exhaust fumes were strong in there for hours, but there wasn't a speck of dust in the dryer's ductwork after that! :ROFLMAO:

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Spent about 4 hours yesterday moving 8 yards of dirt/compost from the street to the back garden yesterday. Gotta say, I love this BX as it fits so nicely through the tight spaces in the woods. While the old L had a good bit larger bucket, it wouldn't have fit in the areas the BX did. I...

    Lets talk "3D printers"

    I'm used to using CAD for laser cutting metal things, but I've tried to avoid 3D printing for fear of all the bad ideas it would spark in my head. Nonetheless, I'm very interested in the responses here.

    Driveway/ road millings and taxes?

    Realistically, I can see the homes' appeal/value being worth more without a gravel driveway, but it won't rise to the standard of concrete or asphalt which are typically the options on an appraisal report. I think you'd be fine. Now if you deeded the right-of-way and constructed things to VDOT...

    What makes you think NASCAR rejected them??

    BX23S with cab question

    No actual measurements, but I can comfortably use my de-cabbed BX without hearing protection if needed. A short drive with the cab was just shy of leaving my ears ringing afterwards. Uncomfortable after getting off the tractor for a few minutes, but not actually ringing. I usually use hearing...

    BX25d cab?

    Unfortunately, I just sold the Curtis hard cab from my BX25D this past fall. No need for it in the south really, but it had come installed on my tractor when I bought it out of Maryland. Trying to figure out how to price it was hard since I hadn't seen any others for sale anywhere. Sold it...

    Suggestions for a wood floor.

    First question: What's underneath the carpet now? Second Question: What flooring does the carpet currently adjoin? Thresholds/transitions can make or break flooring sometimes.

    Adding rear lights

    I'm assuming you're just looking to be more visible, or are you trying to light up the surrounding area more?

    Automotive Museum and Member Classics...What We Do For Fun.

    Crazy that it's 40 years old at this point. My county qualifies it as a collector now and my taxes on it went up 40x when it hit that threshold. :mad:

    Automotive Museum and Member Classics...What We Do For Fun.

    Did someone say 80's? While not a classic for a lot of you older guys, it's definitely a classic for those in my generation. My '85 Supra, all stock, original paint:

    Knife collection.

    Might congratulations be in order in a few days?

    Knife collection.

    Old titanium 875 Sentinel Elishewitz, and I'm stupidly fast with this knife, so you are probably correct. After this many years, I'm more comfortable using this than I am my own left hand, and I'm pretty ambidextrous... :ROFLMAO:

    Just a whine

    Nah, LS3. 4-door sedan with a manual transmission. Holden Commodore/Chevy SS. It really is crazy going in the service vs sales door. I just picked up a new full set of R4s, mounted, ready-to-go for $480USD from my local dealer. I can't imagine what that would've cost, piece by piece at the...
