A lot of good advice above. It is definitely a 'local' thing. I would suggest you also might contact the local tax assessor office. One of my son's lives in MD. He bought the adjacent 10 acres and was very concerned that it might be rezoned residential. When he spoke to the assessor's office the...

Thanks - looks like a great program!

It's Still Not Right!!! I just priced an L tractor and fell off my chair.

Even though the weather still kind of sucked today I installed the 3rd and final I Beam anchor for the tower project. I can retire the post hole digger for a while and get that 18" auger's elongated holes welded. I used the ratchet strap to keep the chain from sliding up the beam. Just looped...

lol, you are only a few miles line of sight from me. Tower projects are a lot of fun, but like a tractor, you have to be careful. I've put up or helped put up about 10 towers. Putting up one now at 77 is a little more challenging :) Are you a member of MARC? You might want to upgrade as soon as...

Drilled Tried to drill the hole for the 3rd and last I Beam on my tower project. Welcome to CT :( Hit boney city on the 1st two between 28-32" deep. Absolute minimum is 40" with 44 or better being great. I'm on the 3rd hole but had to quit - the skies just turned BLACK and there is constant...

sure takes a lot of the cost away from making the bike

no, that won't work try this You will have 2 paths through a pair of diodes in each. Not a problem with two paths, you will just get a voltage drop equal to the pair with the lowest forward voltage drop (insignificant here). As a bonus if 1 diode leg fails it will 'fall back' to the other...

??? local file???

looks like he would need 2 in series to get below 14.6v, but I like the simple solution can't get much cheaper: amazon I think the heat problem for the diode is going to be, well, a problem .7 volt drop * 1amp charging current would be .7w dissipated in that diode. If you are charging at a...

We switched from COX to Frontier about 6 weeks ago. At the time Frontier had a deal $25/mo (with auto-pay) for 50mb, about $20 more for 1gb. All the equipment was included, including a wifi router that they just left here - I have my own wifi equipment on our lan. We just got the internet from...

The I beams will be the anchor points for the guy wires (Phillystran, non-metallic guys). There are two sets of 3 guys at 25 and 50 feet. They are 120 degrees apart. They will go to the tops of the I beams. That places the low points 8' above the ground and they slope up from there. The idea is...

More progress today on the tower project. Didn't want to drill the hole for the third and last I beam as the lawn isn't completely dried out yet and I would really destroy it working on it now. As it is, I'll probably do some serious damage tomorrow if it doesn't rain. As other posters have...

I have a shear bolt on the pto shaft. It should go first. It's 1/4" grade 2 or 5 iirc, the bolts through the auger shaft are 1/2".

In our previous house we had a large deck about 10' above ground level. The wasps apparently loved that environment as they constantly built nests under there. On the suggestion of a friend, I sprayed a water / peppermint oil mixture under there. It worked. After that did it 2X a year - spring...

Everyone should know that. I certainly should. But sometimes we get seduced by a really good price. . . I needed an 18" auger for my tower project. Just have to drill 4 holes. I went to put on the auger extension for the 3rd hole and found this: Will be taking it to a welder friend to...

That too :)

2nd I beam anchor time today. It was hot and humid - more than I wanted to work in, especially with the buggies in the woods. Forecast is for rain and if that happens the swale I have to traverse will be an impassable mud hole for days. So today was the day! Where it's going - there is an...

Progress on the antenna tower today :) Drilled the hole for the 1st I Beam anchor point, set the beam with the tractor and then filled the hole with quick setting concrete. That 18" auger made quite a bigger hole than 18"! I didn't get to use my extension here as I hit a serious rock at 4'...
