Well, out of 5/8 wood screws so hopped on the mower with a stick and cut the grass. Blackberries starting to come in

Moved the firewood and got me a pad built for the woodshed. No tamping equipment except for the B3200 and a FEL loade with road millings. Now back to the roof after a short break for lunch and some thinking about the next step

Well the boss wanted a pool so we picked up a 9x18x5 job. It was overcast this AM so we got it set up. The B3200 had the transport job for the box and I stacked all the cement pads for the supports on the quad. Waiting on the water guy to stop by and fill in next week. Sun came out for the...

Here is what I use on the B3200 flexible and the phone stays in the mount.

Day 4. Got the bucket forks on the B3200 and confirmed it can lift with all the side panels stacked. Side panels attached. Stopping for the day as storms roll in. Tomorrow I finish up the side trim and the roof and hopefully set it outside.

Well I was gonna eat lunch till I opened this thread. You boys ain’t right. And I’m ok with that

Thanks. All the pressure treated is culled so 75% off. The most expensive thing will be the roof panels. It is 4’ deep and 7’ wide so 3 rows of 16” cut firewood. I’ll grab the remaining parts after work Friday and hopefully get it done by Sunday. Heat is slowing me down a bit

Finally cooled down a bit to get the mounting braces for the side panels on and the roof rafters cut and installed. Picked up cedar fence pickets that I will cut to size to use for the sides. Lightweight and bug resistant. I need to do a test lift with the B3200 before I add more weight. On tap...

Well I stepped back and looked and it just didn’t look right. Sure enough 1.5 in out at the top. Loosened the screws and drew it in with a wratchet strap. Much better. Wife pulled the plug on today for dinner with friends. B1700 gets to live outside tonight.

3 hrs in and I have the frame and bottom platform assembled. Working in the barn but it is still 94. Roof rafters are for Saturday early. Then I will get her moved outside to finish. Siding bracing to go yet today

Rolled 1000 hrs on the B1700. May have to burn a cigar in her honor later. Time to look up all the pampering she needs for this milestone. First, 3 hrs of hard mowing. Finally dry enough to get all the trails minus the woods opened.

Sat down and looked for a pump rebuild kit. I can get one for 10 bucks more than the pump costs as a complete unit. I may save the motor for a future project but the pump end is not worth rebuilding

I must be living good. The replacement pump fit with no modifications. The input/output nipples were the correct size and the mounting holes lined up perfectly. I need to go buy a lottery ticket. This pump is super quiet compared to the original unit. I will probably see if I can get a pump...

Permethrin. I buy it in bulk and mix as I use it

Well it started off good. Got the tick rig set up and full but no pump. Runs but no sucking. Took it apart and probably could rebuild if I could get parts. Off to Rural King. At least they have them on the shelf. Tick day is now Sunday since it is 87 with 95% humidity.

Simple dinner. Grilled salmon with a hosin glaze, bok choy and asparagus oiled and grilled with s&p and a side of coconut rice

Originally it was free and get it running but the daughter got involved and now they want 3800-4500 for it. I hope they get what they want out of it. It sure isn’t coming from me

Hopped on the 1700 at 8 and mowed for 2 hrs. Got the 3200 out and cleaned all the river rock the landscaper dumped on the driveway. Kids forgot the tarp on the first load. That took an hour. Inside cooling down now.

Dayton OH air show is this weekend. Not sure what we may see going home when it’s done.

Well I made an offer based on my research of a non runner with an unknown transmission. They are emotionally attached and want over 4x my offer. They look at it and see their father and grandfather driving it and riding on it as a child with them. I see a machine that has not run in 13 yrs, an...
