The stained glass was hand made by an uncle of my son in law. And the brown bit on the left side of the building you can just see is a door made from a dead ash tree along my drive that I felled for him. We cut it in 10ft lengths and he then milled it into lumber, air dried it, and then made the door of the green house from it.
And that’s just the start of his wood working skills. AND he cooks too.
I used to have a similar green house until a 20+" snowfall took it. I got 5 years use out it though.
My gardening fanatic Daughter learned from my mistakes and had her supremely talented husband build her green house.
As a retired firefighter, I played IN the fire for 20 years. But I ain’t right in the head either…
Now you guys be safe out there!
The risks are very tiny with sod. I’ve never seen a grass fire travel underground and as a retired firefighter, I’ve seen and fought a few 1000 acres of grass fires. Nor was it was even mentioned as a possible training scenario. Now it is possible for a forest fire to burn down into the ground because of the roots that trees have.
We’ve had about 40,000 acres of forest fire up here in the Arrow Head region of northern Minnesota this past summer. Only one fire is having issues with underground burning. And there was a lot of fire burden from standing dead trees and dead falls. Which are the cause of the under ground fires. They estimate by January of February this winter the fires will burn out.
The only thing I don’t like about fire rings is needing to mow around them…
Happy Birthday! And enjoy!
You are more than worth it!
Remember, you don’t need to engage. You get pulled in because you want to be pulled in.
So, my cuppa Iron Goddess of Mercy Oolong tea is right out then?
(Enjoy your coffees. no matter how you make it, everyone!)
Bearings are commodity items. So measuring a bearing for ID, OD, and height/thickness and going a search will get you a replacement. Sometimes you might get an obsolete bearing configuration or size, but that’s rare and generally only happens when working on very old or very odd equipment.
How easy are they to replace depends and you only get to find out when you go to replace said bearing the first time. This fan doesn’t look too hard though. The photo shows a plastic bearing block screwed to the fan body and holding the bearing and motor in position. I would certainly investigate further. Other equipment can present other problems that you need to take into account. A welded bearing housing would be a repair nightmare.
Not with that attitude they won’t be.
Pop that bearing holder open and buy a new bearing. It looks like a cheap little commodity ball bearing, but plain oil impregnated bronze bearing are also available. It will probably run carefree again until the motor burns out.
With that kind of frugality, you’ll be rich in no time!
I’m old and retired. Unless it’s yet another dr appointment, I can do fuckall every day. And I sometimes do depending on the weather. So it’s just another weekend for me.
Open your horizons…
Try a nice German mustard or a Dijon. Or mix a bit of good horseradish in with it. There is a lot more to mustard than plain yellow mustard, (which is great on hotdogs with relish).
No ketchup. Only mustard! Get a hold of your ovaries and man up!
Hey, ketchup/catsup, (choose your spelling - we don’t discriminate), has it’s place. It’s fine for the sick, old and infirm or small children with weaker constitutions. But anyone purporting to be an adult, a form of mustard is the only choice.
And yes, there are other sauces to be used as called for in the moment.
Even open flat farmland might not be good enough. They need to follow ridgelines for best success.
Excuse me? LOL!
Seriously, as someone using an old laptop as my home server, I’m VERY impressed by your skills and determination. You are amazing.
Which reminds me, I have a spare 250gig SSD I should install in my 500gig server…
Not to argue with your Uncle, but my observation is you require one to be the other.
