Yeah since this post ive replaced my d side rubber brake hose and caliper since going down the highway one day heated up a rotor bad enough to feel like i was driving on square tires. Thought it was the brake line swelled/restricted as i had that happen to my f150 but turned out to be the...

Its a 1/4 acre, actually a little less. The dog poop is just a theory i had as 2 full size dogs pooped all winter about 100ft and uphill from the pond. Regular rains drain that area away from and around the pond but this super heavy rain had roads washed out everywhere and im assuming a lot of...

Have you priced out grass seed or loam recently? Depending on the size he wants to level out could buy new mower for cheaper.

20+ year old stuff was built different even residential grade stuff. Also Ops current riding mower is "on its last leg" as he says in post#1 implying its time to throw it out.

Actually me and the wife skimmed the top with a rope pulling from each side. Then once to shore, raked it onto the grass. This got 80% of the stuff on top but looking down into the water, its below the surface too. From the surface to the bottom in some places.

never said residential zrts dont have replaceable parts. But the residential ones are underbuilt and meant for disposal nowadays, not meant to last year after year like commercial tools. Thats why the good stuff costs so much more.

We dont use fertilizer on our lawn but the dogs doo poop. Havent seen this happen before here but we had 5" of rain on a saturated ground and my theory is surface water went in. There is already some bottom vegitation in the pond as well as a section of cattails. Will a fountain add oxygen...

We have a spring fed 1/4acre pond. This is our 3rd year living here and the first time experiencing an algae bloom. We had heavy rains a week ago and i have a feeling surface runnoff of my lawn got into the pond. We have 2 dogs and they poop alot. Since that heavy rain, every day the pond got...

I just bought and set up a 4G camera for monitoring my camp (starting a construction project). Its solar too so no wires at all. It does cost something to comunicate with the verizon network but not sure what that is yet as it comes with a free amount of data. It has ability to alert me of...

Buy a used commercial mower. they are designed to last forever with replaceable parts rather than disposing of them like a box store mower. My Exmark Laser Z 60" cuts just fine in rougher terrain. It sucks up leaves in the fall too. I bought for $3200 if i remember and it had 1200 hours on it...

lol no . its a gm product, none of the electricals would work if that were the case

Ill get rid of it before it becomes another problem. I figure 2 years tops for beater commuter work trucks. Once it gets around 160k its time to throw away. That way i dont spend every weekend fixing it.

Not sure if mentioned but you should have a BFH (Big F...ing Hammer), and a big pry bar. Some things need persuading

This truck has heated and cooled seats. The seat bottom heaters dont work. Its a known issue the heating elements were built too fragile and passengers getting in and out of seats move the elements enough to eventually break the circuit. Truck seat also has a haptic motor in it to warn me if...

I will give them credit though, it was a 2 minute job to replace. like it was engineered to have to be.

Yeah but by now, 36 years later you would think they would have this stuff figured out

Then i would have to change all my power tools over to Dewalt..and start drinking on the job.

The circuit board was in the big plastic housing but not sealed from weather and mounted in the engine compartment...lol

Been buying Fords for the last 15 years because GM trucks wouldnt hold up to work, always electrical problems, trans issues and other dumb problems that should have been engineered out by now but against my better judgement i bought a 2015 Denali as a beater/commuter to get to and from work in...

Wow, they are like 80 and up in Maine. Thats an independent guy with a plumbing license. I would have thought NY would be way more money. I charge 70hr for Masonry work and its an unlicensed trade around here.
