    New House Build

    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.

    The Land of Milk and Honey

    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...

    Sweet advent pear tree not looking so hot.

    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...

    New House Build

    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...

    New House Build

    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...

    Rain

    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.

    Bark graft pear tree success timeframe

    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.

    Bark graft pear tree success timeframe

    I would expect some signs of life in another 1-2 weeks. I wouldn't be concerned about it yet.

    Cool story on intact bottles of cherries found at George Washington's home

    This is a cool story about a recent archeological find at George Washington's home. I will say that the story becomes tainted by trash later in the article when they have to veer away from the main point of the article to make sure that we are all aware that slaves built most of the plantation...

    Is Wheat Mature Enough to Not Hurt With Gly

    Take a head and roll it between your hands, shell out the kernels; however, you want to say it. If the kernels are formed, I would say you are good to go. They will continue to dry whether you spray or not.

    The Land of Milk and Honey

    I need to build a decent spray rig. I am of the mind set that the better quality ones are way over priced for what you are really getting. The cheaper ones are a piece of garbage that last about 6 months. I built a cheap (temporary) rig for the back of the 4 wheeler for spraying my cool season...

    It is SUPER loud at our place right now as well. Amazes me just how loud frogs can be. Science question .... why are they so loud? Seems to me that when your mating partner is probably only a few yards away that your sound carrying 100s of yards isn't really biologically necessary? Maybe frogs...
