I don’t know what conventional roadway vibration rollers are, what is that?

Is this it….

I think there is nothing wrong with this dam and people are yanking your chains with these nutty pics of what looks to me to be simply pre-completion pics of the damn while the upper structure was still to be completed and the reservoir was still filling up, versus completed pics that now have the upper area completed that is not a nice straight…[Read more]

Well that is nice that your power shaft has arrived. That is too bad that your other stuff is coming separate.

I’m awaiting to hear back from Atlas Machinery when they will get some of them and what pricing might be.

Seems that they do in fact carry it and it is on special promo right now with a bunch of free Abranet for it also, so I ordered one…

You gonna bury it or do an aerial drop?

How far you gotta go and how many amps you wanna feed to it?

I’m not decided yet. It depen…

I strongly suspect that that is an Asian knock-off or fake Makita…[Read more]

You can’t potentially expect to find steel slag everywhere in NA. It is a waste bi-product of the steel smelting process. Hamilton, which is an hour and half from where I…

The Makita addiction grows.

Just ordered the cordless power driver that is on promo with two free 5.0 Ah batteries and charger and the cultivator attachment for now which I know I can use almost immediately.

It has been a week for me and I haven’t heard or seen anything.

It’s vacation time so perhaps the redemption folks have been vacationing. I hope that is all it is for you guys.

Rain since last nite and it looos like for most of the day today so I’m working inside. The humidity and heat are about to get brutal here come tomorrow.

Happy today to find my injured arm isn’t killing me after testing it somewhat yesterday with some aggregate grading and compacting. Things might be looking up with getting more work rolling around here. Just to be safe, I’ve rested it today. Fingers crossed I continue to increase its workload capabilities.

We finally started getting some rain around here. Came down hard and heavy last nite and late this afternoon.

But we’re headed for some pretty hot days in the mid 40s humidex. Those are days that snow doesn’t seem so bad after all.
