Check your local building codes. Where I live, a breezeway was forced to become enclosed to standard building codes and resulted in a tax increase since it effectively increased the square footage of the house by adding the breezeway and barn. I cut out 3ft from the end at the barn and called it...

Your time and equipment available VS. hiring a pro and having it done in a week. Have you thought about buying a small dozer at auction, using it, then cleaning it up, service it and resell it?

Traps are cheap and easy to use. Trap it, take it out of the city limits and shoot it.

Dedicated, 671 mi, 5 days a week, just north of Louisville to the shoals in northern Alabama and back, 13 yrs, direct for the state, no pesky brokers to deal with, camp at Glendale during the week, home 58 hours every weekend.

Is that where Sliders come from?

I needed a trencher, found one on TH, used it, cleaned it up real good, new paint and sold it on Craigslist for 20% more than I paid. I planned to do the same thing with a 450 case dozer but decided to keep that bad boy. Both of my tractors were dealer bought new but just about all of my...

Soil testing with ammendments for each particular crop along with drip irrigation. I alternate rows or sections each year and grow daikon radishes in the unused areas, then deep till in well composted (5+ year) wood chips that have been seasoned with manure and turned 3 times a year.

We have looked into it for our greenhouses, seems like an ideal way to capitalize on water needs while also gaining the fish cash crop along with high quality fertilizer. Startup costs are what holds us back. Tanks and piping are doable on a budget, it's the monitoring equipment that costs so...

I truck during the week, I'll have to ask the wife and oldest daughter what they did today when we have our 7pm call this evening.

As a truck driver and small fleet owner...... Fire works every time. I've tried about everything mentioned plus a few more in the 60 or so years I've been around, nothing really works. This is why we have work clothes and other clothes.

It doesn't kill anything. It will destroy the foliage and make it appear dead but the root is still there, completely unharmed and will come back with a vengeance. It is science, research for yourself.

Since buttercups and horses have been around since the dawn of man and I've yet to see one with a blistered mouth, I'll have to figure those were stupid horses.

I visited many of the higher end restaurants to see what the pro chefs wanted that they could capitalize on as being fresh and local organic grown.This has been profitable enough to afford 2 40 x 100ft hi tech greenhouses so I can provide year round. Garlic, various herbs, exotic tomatoes...

75 acres west of Nashville Tn. 12 in pasture, rotated for cows. about a 40 acre mountain the pigs roam on, 3 acres for veggies and such (no grains),2 yr round creeks, 2 managed and stocked ponds, 5 acres where the house is and 8 Black Walnuts over the parking area that all 200 chickens roost in...

I get where you are coming from FH, but I didn't let any neighbors raise my daughters, and they won't let the lonely old hag next door raise theirs either. Actually my neighbors did help raise my girls, maybe the real problems are with the way modern neighbors were raised?

This is really one of those deals.... They way you asked the question, the question itself... Take it to a trusted mechanic before you mess it up.

I was doing wheat in a combine at 10 and driving the bottom dump to the co op at 14. It depends on how the kid is raised, back then we didn't have the no consequences video game attitude today's kids have.

Are they hurting anything? The horses will eat then too, most of the weeds even with no ill effects.... So why put chemicals in the ground your horses have to eat from?

Since this looks like a hobby farm chat, I propose hobby farm solutions. I very much doubt there are very many 400 head operators asking these kinds of questions.

They make a dolly for about 4 Grand. Or you can spend 750 and get a goose neck mount in your truck. Or you can rig up something and kill someone. But really, I'm serious, if you have to ask.... You probably should find a pro to do it for you.
