Court Pendu Plat is a late bloomer as well.

Seems like a lot of people ares saying its is going to be a heavy apple production year.

We fell short of getting all the subfloor down yesterday. Had just enough of the Advantech flooring with damage to the tongue and groove that we had to monkey with fixing that it slowed us down.

I got the parts for my 1230 JD planter that I picked up last year yesterday. I should be able to plant 4 rows now instead of 2 now.... LOL I am looking forward to the day I can no-till plant. My oats that I planted earlier this Spring look to be about the right height now to terminate and plant...

Yes external and internal drain tile.

More than likely. Could be herbicide damage, but highly unlikely only 1 tree would be affected. You will know as time goes on.

Thank you! A lot of years waiting to do something like this!

Most of the trusses are 19.2" oc. Leave it up to some pencil pushing engineer to figure out the spacing..... sometimes we just shrug and say WTF was that guy thinking as there was probably a better and more efficient way to lay out something. But they go by what the computer tells them and...

Steel beams can be more shallow (more head room) we have 9' walls. Our beams are 10" tall. To span the same distance would require bigger dimensional lumber. Where the beams are there are large open areas where there will not be walls to carry the upstairs load. The beams are carrying our...

I think straight out GC fees vary anywhere from 6% to 25% of the cost of the build. Keep in mind that is just the straight out fee. You can save yourself additional money by willing to shop the pieces and parts for the build. A GC has no incentive to do that if they are doing your build.... the...

Good progress on day 2. Not sure what tomorrow will bring, wish I could say we are going to get all the subfloor down, but unless the nails show up early that won't be the case. Supplier didnt have them and then thought they would substitute a product that I am not willing to accept without...

Off and going. A good start today. Would have made it farther along, but the "Beast" blew a hydraulic line in the midst of setting the steel beams. Hopefully we get back on a good roll tomorrow. Got the load bearing walls in the basement framed today. Goal for tomorrow is to finish the sill...

My framing crew rolled in today ... literally. LOL Check out the mobile shop, actually a pretty good idea. Converted a old RV into a mobile shop. Tool storage and large compressor housed inside. The start load of framing lumber was delivered as well today. If all goes well we start framing in...

Man I love those watching those storm clouds that look like that. It looks like we may fall in the gap for the storm front tonight, I am perfectly happy with that.

First I have heard of such a thing. I guess I wouldn't be overly concerned about it, especially if you are just grafting a tree for your own personal use.
