Don, these are all good suggestions, and I especially liked your idea of pavers. However, on second thought, they are awfully expensive (I've been considering the same thing for the area under my deck). Would you consider a pad of gravel, maybe pea-gravel or some such? Also, with the tarp...

Hmm... now I'm thinking Hodge's "lots of hugs" technique is the sanest idea. Just sayin...

Wish I were closer, I wouldn't mind donating a bit of sweat for some hands-on tutoring. Here's hoping you find some relief soon!

What tools doesn't she have that she ought to? If she were any better equipped, I wouldn't want to see it!

In the words of Paul Harvey, "Page two: the rest of the story!" When I visited the ATM and maxed it out, she wasn't impressed with my $20. As I was leaving, I saw her getting into the trainer's old Miata.

Exquisite! (eh?):D:D:D

Hmm... Her grip looks great; maybe you need to check the steering linkage! :D :D :D

Yep <mournful sigh> that's how most of us get addicted... one little thing and before we realize it, full-blown addiction. I'll check back next Christmas and see how bad you have it! :D :D :D

Still laughing!

That's a great looking shelter, and nice and tight tarps. I can see how you tensioned the top, but how do you prevent it going airborne?

"Exactly", as my Auburn grad is wont to say. And my experience is that my confidence in my ability to a) avoid blasting delicate parts; and b) shielding critical electrical, fuel, and filtering parts was... well, I must confess that it was unwarranted. <blush> My suggestion was meant to convey...

I mounted mine to a very rough bucket -- so bad that it looked like it couldn't be mounted at all. I have used it to dig in gnarly root-rich dirt and it has sneered at all the abuse. No hint of the blade shifting, and the design allows for 'adjustment' up to about 3/8", IIRC.

And I'd avoid pressure washing her, 'specially as clean as she looks in your pics. A soft car-wash brush and detergent will get her (mostly) clean, and if there are places with caked gunk, you can deal with them as appropriate.

Yew goht haff uh acre?!! Man, yew gotta git a bigger trakter! Ah only gots uh liddle lessen uh thard uv acre 'n mah B6100 kaint even keep up, whut wit dee trees 'n roots an' all.

skeets is one of the old-timers who is full of wisdom (he talked me into taking a cruise with Noah). My comments are not meant to refute his wisdom, only to augment it. I always (almost) cover my B6100 with a tarp (half of a light-duty big box store tarp that covered a hole in my roof for...

Lad, would ye be so kind to drive me home after New Year's Eve celebration? I promise there will be plenty of Guinness on hand (I'll be out drinkin' other's booze! :p) Safe and happy Christmas to you and yours!

Awesome finds, and a great combination! So you plan to store your wood on pallets? How will you keep the load from scattering when you move it to your ready area? I'm desperately hoping some of the picture nazis or one of the tracto-porn addicts will start their war cry, "Without pics, it...

Oh, Hodge, that is priceless!

Oh, Hodge, that is priceless!

I've been researching working and fail limits on chain, rope, and synthetic because my faith isn't strong enough to tell my remaining dogwood to get up and go into the sea, and the efforts I've been able to make have only bent it. I learned an interesting fact about chain that in retrospect...
