Smoogleville - the name I give my 16' x 16' workshop and the place where fun projects of all kinds are tackled. This channel features the videos I create that show you how - and sometimes how not - to do a woodwork project. Furniture, storage solutions, workshop improvements, tool reviews, there’s always something interesting going on at Smoogleville. I’ve been working with wood for as long as I can remember. It all started in my Granddad's garden shed, half a century ago; working with scraps of wood Granddad had put by for me in a box. It’s funny how those things you did as a little kid, become lifelong hobbies, and at one point I even worked as a carpenter professionally. But I’m most at home in a room full of machines and hand tools - where the possibilities for creativity are seemingly endless.
I don't know what it is about Stiles that I find so charming. Maybe it's the fact they're often over private farmland which has a public footpath through. It's so cool to see something like that. There's also the clever engineering of some of them, like this one! To let people over without letting out animals
No messing around with batteries either. Sick of charging up batteries and dead batteries filling up the landfills where they can leach out into the water supply.
Thanks for posting. That said, code disallows fan mounting in basement. Also, vent pipe must extend at least 1 foot above roof level, and 10 feet above grade. Your vent termination does not appear to satisfy either requirement. Finally, gravity will pull condensation in your vent pipe down through the fan, which may void the warranty.
It's very easy to make up your own steel log jaws, with a bit of 2" angle and a welder. Make them big enough to take an 8" log with the facility to just drop & clip on the existing rubber/ steel jaws . Saves a lot of messing about, changing jaws, and saves a chunk of money as well.
My son was a brave daredevil, he would saturate the burrows with carburetor/brake parts cleaner, wait a few minutes, then toss a match...........big POOOOOOOOF!, and no more flying ice picks.
I am having a problem taking out the blades. I can only get to the outer bolt up front and the inner bolt through the back hole in the rotator plate guard, but either way, the bolts are in there rock solid and I cannot get them loose and I don't want to strip out the heads. Recommendations?
Fire is the most effective cleansing element in this world. I agree and it is dangerous especially for babies, young kids, and pets. It's better to eliminate them and do something, rather than it gets to you or to your house. Fantastic choice of weapon or for me, I prefer the much dreaded "flame thrower'. Excellent
Install problems your county may not like: 1. The fan must be in the attic or outside. It can't be in the basement. According to fed: "Radon vent fan must be located above living areas or outside of the home" 2. Vent must be above roof line, close to peak where possible. If you get snow, it should be tall enough to not get blocked by snow 3. Vent must not deflect to the sides 4. Vent is too close to windows, especially because you are redirecting concentrated radon gas back towards your house (see #2 and #3). In Summer, basement air is colder and will sink, especially when pushed by a fan back to your windows. Not sure if you sealed the entire cold joint in your basement, but you might be losing money sucking in conditioned air if you didn't.
We had an underground nest also. My husband went out on night 1 and put blocks all around the nest. Night 2 he poured kerosene down the hole and lit it. Our son who was attacked by them was laughing. He said to his dad "revenge against them was great! Thanks dad!"
