I wonder who insurance companies recommend when a dead body is found in a car after a few weeks. The guy that got the job of cleaning and deodorizing the KCI suicide in parking lot that wasn't discovered for nearly a year. Id seek that guys advice.

Nasty nasty job

Did who ever pulled the fan make sure there there wasn't more nest above it?

I'm not sure why I do so many things the hard way.


This weekend I bought a scoop for my tractor. It's an old one, and I had figured out the source and what the guy had paid for a tractor that had this scoop. I ball park surmised it a similar size to my tractor and I put on a buyers clinic that would make you all proud. I offered half price and we tussled and sparred and lobbed arguments as to why each were right. I pull the pin and raise my final offer $100. He's going to have to take a beating. He wants another 50....I say I respect that he has to draw a line and so do I and I walk to my truck. The gentlemen comes out before I leave and agrees essentially to my terms. I was pretty proud of myself on the rife ho,e.

I get it home....and the front brackets are 2" too narrow....and the brackets that attach to the axels are 8-10" too long. To use this, it's going to require fire axe and welding skills beyond my known ability.

Not sure why I insist on doing so many things the hard way. I do it to save money, but now I have an old loader, that doesn't fit....my old tractor that runs, sometimes.

I know nothing about what’s available for the models you have but SOMETIMES there are adapter kits for loaders for common tractors.

If it’s just a bracket that needs work, most welding shops can do that in no time. You won’t like the money, but I’d do it. Having a scoop really increases the value of the old tractors. You’d probably get your money back out of having a welder do it.

Work out a trade for honey

Had one in my truck 2 years ago in heater. Called dealer in Clinton MO where I bought it and they said no problem we have the stuff that will kill the smell...they dug out the nest, did magic with some stuff and it never smelled again...They used a BG product for odor control

Recently had someone recommend Water Heater maintenance.

Cut off water supply to tank.
Drain completely.
Turn water supply back on.

Is this recommended every year?

Actually turn off the pilot hook garden hose to the spigot at bottom tank run hose outside or to a floor drain. Close the water supply to tank open hose spigot drain the hot water off. Then turn the water supply to the tank on let run 1/2 to an hour to flush the crud that builds up in the tank. This they recommend at least once a year to get the longest life expectancy of the tank.

Yes, especially if you have hard water. Also, it's very important to cycle your temperature & pressure relief valve to make sure it's working properly. It's the only thing standing between you and a blown tank if the heater fails and overheats the water inside

I do mine at least every 2 months gobs of mineral grit every time

Make sure you cut power off to it when u drain it

Wait...so having a water softener will make my water heater last longer?

yes and operate more efficiently

Well that's a bonus. I sort of scoffed at the fact our new place had one at first, but after seeing the difference it makes as far as all the fixtures and shower doors, etc staying cleaner I can't believe I ever lived without one.
