    Tin Roof Barn Coating-Your Choice?

    Thought for a minute I was on the wrong thread and I ask which oil to use:) The tin when it was installed back when 70's maybe or earlier. Only 48 and remember the barn when I was a boy. The v was dented and a roofing nail with a rubber washer on it was used. Over time they have worked loose. I...

    Fencing Project: Saws and fasteners

    Sheep, I bought this saw for pruning back in the summer it is mean. I love it, even had a pine fall across a path at my deer lease about 10" across. I removed all the limbs and cut into sections so I could roll it into the woods. Did this on one battery. Great for rough cutting lumber as well...

    Feeding Chickens Maggots

    My mom raised meal worms for years to feed the blue birds and a treat for the chickens. What I like about the maggots is little work, dump in the meat and presto. Self feeder I have a just turned 4 year old so I'd rather spend time with her than messing with the meal worms and I don't have a...

    Since you have Dewalt may as well stick with it. If your batteries are good you can by the bare tool off Amazon much cheaper. The impact driver will serve you well. I use cheap bar soap on my screws when they are hard to drive in. Throw a bar of dial soap in your coat pocket drag the screw...

    Smoothing Out Logging Ruts

    Some thoughts, do as you plan and have it cut down. If possible after the "stuff" dries burn it. Be easier to work the ground with the debris gone. If you have a disk you could disk beside the ruts to turn up some ground. A blade angled could roll the fresh dirt in the ruts. A landscape rake...

    Growing grass on previous grove lot

    I disk or tiller could be an option which would give you soil to move around. A landscape rake would be a good tool to level out the broke up ground. Perhaps depending on how many holes you could have some loads of topsail delivered and fill the holes using the FEL if you have one. Tilling...
