i did the same thing but its a good idea to chisle away that old cement baffle wall i can see yours is at alittle bit too high of a pitch but that wont hurt too too much the more the higher the pitch the more fluids will flow to your D-Box you want your T and baffle to be relatively Level but a "Sanitary T" can help with this "pitch" Achievment i just took a long chisle and a hammer and tapped it a few times and it came loose and fell into the tank my line to my D-Box was completely clogged and i re did it myself and saved myself 10 Grand for what i thought was the leech field INSPECT YOUR TANKS EVERYONE HAVE THEM PUMPED EVERY 4-5 YEARS AND DONT FLUSH CHEMICALS AND CLEANING PRODUCTS DOWN YOUR DRAINS and NO WIPES LOL
Ive a hedge row with about 25 dead elm here in Ireland. Its a shame to see. Apparently you need to did up and burn the stump to get rid of the fungus carried by the beetle.
@@Boru06 I was quoting a line from writer Celia Congreve in 1930: (Elm wood burns like churchyard mould, E'en the very flames are cold; Apple logs will fill your room, With an incense-like perfume.) History and facts show that Elm is a pitiful firewood. Maybe it makes decent charcoal to smolder along with, but for FIREwood; it sucks!
Cleared dutch elm infected trees around a nursery in the early 70s , most of the hedges in the area were elm . Hundreds of trees with the beetle . Burned the lot .
I planted a Chinese Elm here on our Arizona desert property. Supposedly it is more resistant to Dutch Elm than other Elm varieties. Time will tell. Sorry you lost your tree Alec.
Hi Alec , lots of warmth this winter I guess. I recall hearing that you should not burn pressure treated wood because of the toxic off gasses emitted, and also burning poison ivy can get the poison into your lungs. In Brampton we have an Asian beetle issue with some trees. Hope you plant another one in it's place.Take care Owen m
@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch same here. Some people tell me it's OCD, I just explain I take pride in my work, and it's a quality you don't see much of these days. Maybe a touch of OCD😅😅jk
These toy cannon's have been made and used for many decades. Using cheap Temu productions is just saving a buck to lose a finger. Stick with the best and safest. A
Beautiful example of something that was made in the USA, very rugged and will last a lifetime so long as you stay within the duty cycle, fortunately is difficult to exeed on a stick welder since with even a 20 to 30% at the max output, the fact that an electrode is consumed in less than one minute, then allowing the weld to cool before chipping off the flux and wire brushing the area, repositioning to get as comfortable as possible, etc, during which time the machine is cooling down before welding is resumed. My great uncle Charles, still has his IdealArc 250 AC/DC welder he brought in 1964 when he had his excavating business and burned lots of 1/4 inch rod when repairing the plow on his excavator, although it's currently collecting dust since Charles is 91 yrs old and his eyesight isn't what it used to be lol.
These are excellent tools and almost family heirlooms! I'm passing mine to my son and probably his son some day. Still use it and actually have a new video coming about taking this to remote work sites. A
Thank you! 😊 and hello Texas. Hope there are other ideas to help out. Sorry nothing on shooting wild pigs! All we have around here are moose, bear and deer. A
Nice work Alec. Really appreciate the detail that you went into explaining how and why your built certain elements. Looking forward to the next episode!
Looks good Alec. Remington 700 BDL. I’ve got one in 30-06. 1985 model. Had an ADL version in 22-250 with STD barrel but someone ran off with it one night from my home. Anyway, great job in fitting that butt plate! Thanks for sharing
Hi Alec This is your "Man Cave" in the back 40 ,in the states they would be installing a moonshine still. Or perhaps The windmill ranch Air B&B. So many possibilities. It does look great, you showed the sides panels interlocking ends and sides, Do you also use nails or glue to keep them together or is it just the weight of the boards above? Add a beer fridge and a TV your guests (or children) will never leave. Take care Owen m
Hi Owen. All your questions are answered in the second episode, "Walls". But for you, screws only, no caulk needed, added a lovely wood fireplace, A/C power from a solar panel but no TV ever. Just the sound of our woods and nature. I think you will like the next one. A
Good point, but it was just mix and apply thin coats, 3 times till over filled then slow sand down. Will do if butter fingers ever lets it slide off again. A
I got the same model myself. Ive burned myself lm it 3 times. I didn't rush to tbe ER i just Said fu** it and carried on. Im 60 by the way. I have 15 steam engine of all types of makes and models.
I got a new battery and it die from me just trying to start it it was turning over fast but then then more I try to start it the weaker the battery got and the time befor that I was riding it and the battery die on me out of nowhere I need help
Clearly not a battery problem. Either your starter is drawing too much current & killing the battery quickly and/or the charger (magneto) is not charging the battery. It could be both. If you have a multimeter, you can check the starter draw. You need an ammeter to check the charging circuit. They're not expensive. I'd also suggest that you see why the machine doesn't start easily & quickly. Obviously, if the starter has turn over & over a long time (more than 10 seconds), the battery will die. Maybe a tune up will solve the problem. Alec
The step is north of $3C. I use a $20 HD plastic step stool kept at the tailgate with a couple $25 Tractor Supply ratcheting load bars. No link to HD load bar!
@@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch have a stalled project involving telescoping tubes, twist lock pin and a model A bumper step plate. It would push up, swing in and stay. Toe operation untested.
