After using up the Stihl line my friend gave me to get by on, I spooled up with the Dewalt X twisted line today. First thing I noticed is it runs quieter and the trimmer seems to cut smoother, even on the thicker weeds

Going back about 10 years, the wife picked up a pair of vintage porch rocking chairs at a yardsale. They were over do for a refinish. The wife said she would paint them after I stripped them. Sooooo, after countless hours of stripping 4 or 5 layers of paint and sanding everything…she never got around to p…[Read more]

Can’t take much credit for these Bread and Butter pickles, the wife did almost all the work.

Yesterday we did 6 quarts and a gallon of dill pickles

We got our share of rain from the storm, some local flooding but nothing major. East and south of us got hit harder

It’s not the water, it’s the lime from cement that gets into the wood which can cause skin problems.

Had rain again late last night. Todays temp much better…. stayed in the upper 80’s

23 days this month we have been in the 90’s. Today was no different but a little less humid

I used mine a few times for sanding, but also like you mostly cutting and scraping. Some of the spent cutting blades make good scraper blades if you grind off whats left of the teeth.

You do that with your wood handle tools too ?

RGSPECIAL18 wrote:ANY TIPS ON KEEPING FINISHING TOOLS CLEAN . IS THERE ANY OIL TO USE ON THEM? TO KEEP CONCRETE FROM STICKING AND STEEL FROM RUSTING

The easiest thing is to clean the tool(s) as soon as you’re done using it/them. Not an hour later or 2 hours later or the next day. With a reasonably stiff brush and some water you can clean a tool…[Read more]

Mine came with that line in .080. After considering numerous other brands, I went with the larger diameter DeWalt

I just had my trimmer line show up yesterday. Went with the Dewalt .095. It has “X” shape and is twisted

I have the older model I snagged at Lowes on clearance a few years back. Definately a handy little tool to have.

My BIL works in a PT plant. Last I talked to him he said they can’t keep up with the orders to the point they are shipping 1/2 loads. I guess that’s to keep the suppliers to end users somewhat happy. What he didn’t say was why they can’t keep up… is it…[Read more]

It’s not just in Florida

Since it was going to rain this afternoon I thought I would take my mower for a quick walk around the yard. Before I even got started I had a slight misunderstanding with some ground bees.
Storm rolled in and I spent the next 1 1/2 hrs with my thumb (only place I got nailed) in a glass of ice water. For small bees they sure do pack a whallop…[Read more]
