I'm willing to entertain offers but almost anything can be burned if that is the best utility it can deliver

thanks - life is full of puzzles, we just need to figure out a way that works.

Thanks for your support.

To use whole blocks I would either need to extend the length 8 inches or reduce it 8 inches. Since it is only 8 half blocks for the total project, I hope that isn't really an issue.

I may just pump it out. I've thought about drainage but have decided against it so far. I hope this is not a major regret.

The AI is getting too good. When multiple drainage enthusiasts get the same recommendation, Skynet is just around the corner.

I agree - Not sure why I didn't realize that.

Thanks - it is amazing how poor my math skill are when shoveling dirt.

I'm in a hole. Watch for future episodes. I hope to complete this in a couple weeks.

Please remember that this is a family friendly show.

@@AndrewBrenner1 your mum used to be family friendly too 🤣

Glad I could be of help. Please subscribe - I'm trying to hit 500 subscribers.

For Sure. Being a plank built house probably helped that too.

I'm not an economist but, I do have an econ minor. Deficit spending is probably a bigger problem than the decisions of any single person.

We did not replace the main seal and now it leaks oil. I would recommend replacing that seal as getting the thing apart is quite a job.

There are rewards... and sometimes justification for new tools if you take some time to evaluate. Sometimes a simple high-effort solution is just fine though.

I did buy a new file. But, it is still a hand file. My elbows feel it for sure.

Heard of it, dun it, it is often more expensive in money AND time unless the shop is right next door.

Thanks

I have gone swimming for less than an hour... but indoor plumbing is an oxymoron.

Very soon now.

Good to know

They shit allover. Didn't you listen?

@@medikos it's a barn. Whoever heard of someone who owns a barn and is afraid of bird shit!? That's insane. Doves no less. Cleaning up shit is part of owning a barn. If she needs a tack room or something, build a little tack room, then! What are the birds shitting on that's bothering her? Or is that a guy? It's hard to tell with that voice. Either way, build a little tack room, if they're pooping on leather. Other than that, they're doves. If you're afraid of shit, don't have animals or a barn. That's ridiculous.

I didn't think it was weird.

@@mistymeaner1753 I don't have any animals in my barn that foul paint on the tractors, muss up the benches and tool boxes. It's my barn. Not a litter box for unwanted animals.

@@AndrewBrenner1 well, maybe you've never been to a farm. Sometimes, city people buy farms, and they have no idea about what they're doing, and they don't know that SHIT is part of the job. Bird shit being the absolute LEAST INVASIVE of all shit. Dove shit being the LEAST OFFENSIVE of all bird shit. This is clearly a case of a city person who doesn't know what the function of a fuckin BARN is.

Sounds a bit extreme but effective. Yell "pull" when it is headed towards the door so I can be ready.

I posted another one that shows them all the way through totality.

Part 2 is coming soon.

I put a trail camera on it so Maybe I can solve it. it was a very mild winter.

It is peculiar that they are ONLY eating the locust trees.

I thought that might be it but they are chewed higher up than mice usually get.

I don't know if they will be back now that the bark is all gone.

That would be an interesting thing. Porcupines are not common here maybe I'll set up a trail cam.

For me it is more fun to finish - for the novelty if nothing else.

Thanks for your kind remarks. I'm glad it was helpful for you.

That was what I hope to accomplish. They still lose teeth going the right direction - so the jury is still out. So glad you have made up your mind - I'm not sure yet. I have a Harbor Freight version now so be on the look out for more testing.

@@AndrewBrenner1 it also appears you're attempting to make pretty long cuts through thick gauge metal. Have you tried using any lubricant on your cutting surface to minimize friction and heat build up? WD-40 or Used motor oil work well in a pinch.

@@jschlaud6 I'm not sure if it would be helpful or how to apply it while cutting. There really isn't a bunch of excess heat with these Cermet blades so I don't think friction is a major issue... although PINCHING seems to be VERY BAD. I don't know if lubricant will help that but I'm open to suggestions.

I made too many assumptions.

I didn't think it was different from the last one. It was only after cutting for a while that I realized they had different markings.

I guess I need someone to keep an eye on me. There is no arrow on the blade that I can see.

To take up the space around the place that was machined to be a bearing surface for the swivel ring.

I have never seen a laundry soap jug with something that would seem suitable. But, I will definitely keep an eye out for them! Thanks for your suggestion. I don't have a lots of the window parts that worked well for this particular bucket.

Think of button on the handle slipping between the tines of a fork (the rim of the bucket).

One. But that is based on history. My harbor freight warrantee was up on the first saw - so I had to get a new one. I could use one for every cute from now on and it wouldn't matter.

They'll eventually catch on.

Persistence pays off!

I must now cut it in half to make it more usable in my space.

Probably should still buy a new one.

I didn't actually get to that part in this video did I. Well, until next time.

I may have to give it away my first drawing.

I learned a couple tricks in the rolling finishing stage. I'll have to do a "things I left out" clip. It may seem fancy but really the goal was 'cheap'. At less than half the cost of concrete, it is passing all my tests.

Well it is no greenhouse but the light is fairly good from the gable ends.

Thanks - the hard part is not having automation or recursion to lay these little bricks. They aren't heavy but there are just so many.
