I recently took the class and I am glad I did. As far as prep. for the class? I wish I would have dressed warmer. I guess I'm use to Cal weather, but being cold is distracting. I borrowed a GPS...

Hello Everyone,
I've been addicted to this site for nearly a year. I've read the majority of the postings and looked at so many pictures. Today I enrolled in the January class!!! I'm pretty...
I'm in Northern CA, outside of Sacramento. I'm hoping the opportunity presents itself to build a Skip style home in the next 5 years or so. I don't think it would fit in here in "Suburbia" but who...
I just really think that particular quote is funny. "Blazing Saddles" is one of the few movies I own on DVD. I saw a parallel here on the forums with "badges" and thought it would be sorta funny. ...
I guess I was anxious. I went to Harbor Freight and dropped $40 on their version of a saw chain sharpener. It actually seems to work pretty well! I sharpened my electric saw chain and it works...
I'm considering the purchase of an inexpensive (~$40) electric bench mount saw chain sharpener from Northern Tool. Does anyone have any experience with these? I've tried the manual bar mount type,...
My neighbor has a camera system, I think it is made by "Lorex". 4 cameras, each the size of a D cell battery and barely visible, even if you know they are there. He purchased the set up from Costco...
Hi Howard,
I was in your neck of the woods last week driving a water tender for the fires. Beautiful country back there. I liked all of the log railings that bordered the roadway. I didn't see...

We have to be unique in California. This fuel line is ribbed and angled with bends and special fittings. They have engineerd it to the point of uselessness or utmost importance, not sure which. ...
About 8 years ago I bought the 029, I think. It's the "Farm Boss" model. I had a 20" bar put on instead of the standard 16". It's been a good saw with one major exception and it might be a...
the use of cultured stone on this cabin, particularly around the foundation. The log staining/finishing is really nice too. Will it stay that way over time? I think that the use of a masonry patio...
I love getting out in the yard and making it look nice. When I bought this place 12 years ago, a new front yard was one of my first major projects. To this day I still have one of the nicest yard...
