  1. Need plumbing help.

    Hey guys I could use some advice on a plumbing issue I have been having. Usually when we run our dishwasher and washing machine at the same time the toilet gurgles in the kids bathroom. Stinking it up god awful. It still happens even when just running the washing machine. We replaced our...
  2. Excavating UHOH!

    Guys its a nice fairy tale to think that machine could pull itself out of that situation but that is exactly what it is a fairytale. Every situation is different when it comes to sinking an excavator. Whether it is how deep you are stuck, operator experience, surrounding terrain to aid in...
  3. Excavating UHOH!

    I agree 100%. I definitely don’t have it that good!!!!! I can barely afford to keep my mini excavator running!
  4. Excavating UHOH!

    When a machine is sunk so far down on one side as this one is it is impossible to pull itself out with the boom. The machine has most of its weight pulling it down on the sunk side. Even if he had something solid to grab on to all it would do is pull it further down since the tracks aren’t...
  5. Excavating UHOH!

    That pic is after they pulled him from the edge of the pond. The water and mud followed the trail with the machine. It doesn’t take much for a heavy excavator to find a soft spot and sink even if the ground seems solid enough.
  6. Excavating UHOH!

    That was the trail after they pulled him so far through it. The trackhoe was tipped so far sideways that even when they got him pulled back to good hard ground the buried track was still digging through the hard dirt like a conveyor belt.
  7. Excavating UHOH!

    Our lowboy driver had to haul one of our trackhoes to rescue this one a guy I know got stuck at a pond. The machine belongs to his boss and is a fairly new machine. I guess I can’t rag on him too much Ive sunken one myself. Fortunately my incident wasn’t quite as bad as this. They were able...
  8. Large Beavers and Coyotes - Come trap them - PLEASE!

    Thank you sir. Personally I feel like I am far from a pro but Ive had some luck. Beaver and bobcat trapping seem to be fairly easy for me. Coyotes on the other hand still present a challenge from time to time. Most people seem to think that the pelts alone are worth the cost of trapping when...
  9. Large Beavers and Coyotes - Come trap them - PLEASE!

    Thanks for the mention Atomiccowboy! I can definitely get out there and try my hand on getting rid of the beaver and coyote for you Irondadrob but I have to charge as it is a job and they are far from giving diesel away.
  10. Need help with pool pump

    Thanks guys that seems like the sensible option to vacuum to waste. I guess I was hopeful that the sand would filter out all particles but wishful thinking huh?!
  11. Need help with pool pump

    Hey guys I have a pop up 18ft diameter pool with a sandpro 75d pump and filter. Unfortunately it seems like I spend more time cleaning it and trying to clear the water up than actually enjoying it. One major issue I notice is while I am vacuuming the pool out I literally see murky colored water...
  12. Thought For This Friday Night!

    My ol’ man was 100% work oriented. That was THE only important thing in life to him. Probably why we don’t have a great relationship to this day. He has calmed it down a lot in his older age. I always swore I would have a good balance between work and family unlike my ol man. Something I have...
  13. Any idea what this tree/shrub is???

    This is Chinese privet the other plant looks different. Much larger broad leaves.
  14. Any idea what this tree/shrub is???

    I have plenty of chinese privet around here. This isnt it unless its in the same family of it.
  15. Any idea what this tree/shrub is???

    This thing has been growing in my backyard beside one of my big oaks. It doesn’t look like any of the other natural privet I have growing in the woods here. What are you guy’s thoughts??
  16. Nasty surprise the other morning

    The biggest one I ever seen in my life was as big or bigger than a football. It was hanging off a small branch on a stump out in a swamp I uses to beaver hunt and trap in. I never knew what it was until curiosity got the best of me one day. I paddled over close enough to see it was a huge wasp...
  17. Nasty surprise the other morning

    Was preparing to head off to the job site the other morning when I noticed a small wasp nest up in the rafters off our shop. I took a can of ether and sprayed it. It only had about 3 on it and it was still dark in the morning so no fear of them seeing me. Well the new guy said he noticed a nest...
  18. What does your word mean anymore?

    I can truly say Ive only had 2 bad deals since Ive joined the trader. One was just more annoying than anything. Fella wanted to buy my 30-30 for his father. I put in the post it was used with normal hunting wear. When I met up with the guy he starts nit picking the scratches on it. I told him...
