^^^^If one things doesn't kill me...then something else will!! I learned that over my 76 years on this Earth. All the rural Mo. (37 years there) house fires I saw were total losses, and like he said, IF you can't get out om your own, you are dead. Just life on the sticks. Like if a big...

That is why people live in the country...no zoning, build what you like, how you like, where you like...and worst thing we have is property tax people. But if you sell, be prepared for the buyer to have it "inspected" to see that it is "constructed" to meet that guys idea of correct! so the...

Anyone can learn to shot primer/\paint. Yea there are details that separate us duffers from the $10,000/job paint pro. WE all know, the prep is the key, and it is just a lot of hard work and helps top have all the big compressors, mud hogs, good welders, tools, etc. and MUSCLE and stamina!

It also depends if the temp is 102 and the heat index is 117 with no wind!!

Back in good ole Mo. I cooled about 1000 sq. feet of my humble abode with a 110 window unit. Never turned it on till maybe noon, and it kept it perfect all day. 100 degree days no issue. I did build it with 6 inch wall studs and insulated it well with bats. It was what we call a...

I have been told effects of isocyanides are cumlative. I seen guys that have painted all their lives with a good half mask respirator and seen to be OK (I assume). I have to wear my fresh air set up even when I mix the darn stuff.

Depends if you are allergic or even over sensitive to the iso cyanides/ Those chemicals build up in your body over time if they don't kill you first trip out. It happens. Be aware. I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer. You can absorb then thru your eye also.

Please note, hummingbird asses are heavier and much better made!

Ha....At least the hurricanes won't TOTALLY blow your a*** away inland. Just the darn tornadoes!

Note: A man can never live TOO far our in the boonies!!! Years ago we went on a white water raft deal in the NC mountains, right after a big big rain. A lady in the raft went out and into a bad whirlpool. It sucked her all the way down and when she finally surfaced she was 3 shades of red...

I figure people's likes and opinions of how to build and insulate barns, garages is like peoples opinion of Bar B Q!!!!! If you look at what 99% of the locals do in their home area, that is always a good indiction. But I learned long ago, never move to a new part of the country and try to...
