I find this guy has several good videos. In this video he explains the recall reason and some of the logic to the fix.

Yeah, I guess that is a bit much. I was mistaken. The 2018 IBC suggests. "The ground immediately adjacent to the foundation shall be sloped away from the building at a slope of not less than one unit vertical in 20 units horizontal (5-percent slope) for a minimum distance of 10 feet (3048...

You should only have to meet minimum slope. 10% for 10’ I think is what they want here but as long as water doesn’t hold 10’ perimeter of wall and runs away many inspectors don’t notice here as they get mulch or bushes etc. I wouldn’t worry about getting it too accurate. A little more...

My understanding is lumber here has to be stamped by an inspector that measures the moisture. Most box stores sell Kiln dried 2x4's Side note I worked for a company that shipped to China and they mandated heat treated pallet wood to kill any biologics. Pallet wood could not be chemically...

Oops the other side of the same River Birch.

Anyone correct if I’m wrong. These River Birch are real fighters. They don’t go down easy to the insects and rot.

Heck it doesn’t have to be a dead tree. Lots of oaks die here of bugs. Black ants and other insects find wounds or Y’s if it holds water and can’t scab over it is doomed.

Good looking greenhouse. Dead trees here get eaten up with bugs and rot within a couple years. Except Cedar will last a good while and some others Black Locust, Cypress but I don't have any of those. I have heard a dead dry black walnut will stall a gang saw and are harder to process. All...

Going to try a worm farm to make worm casings for soil amendment.

Finally installed the Trellis for our box garden. Wife has been chomping at bit to plant. She has lots of little planters going. Going to try some potato bags this year. She is planting some Okra on top of potatoes in bag. Will spray weeds and mulch then place potato bags around perimeter...

I lost faith in KBB a couple years ago Covid and inflation upended the market value depreciation. Seems to me the only way to determine value is look at ads for comps. The rest is patience and ability to pull trigger. Most value is determined by appearance looking at ads for comps.

Maybe mount flat ish but add a scoop and duct work or some baffling to direct air flow. I don’t know but expect air flow under truck is turbulent and not sure it can be scooped easily. Depends on fan direction. Baffling Could be in front of cooler ? I’m thinking of like the front stack...

Well I'll say it was on tight. Not likely to get this filter off with avg filter or even really good oil filter wrenches. It took some real torque to get it off. I floated the bucket and it did not seem to be under any pressure. We ended up using a different brand of hook spanner, OMT, with...

The hydraulic system has 3 filters 2 in tank 1 paper filter (this one). It might be on some forced recirculating cooler loop that is on a holding system or checked loop?????? The 75-3 hydraulic filter has a welded? nut on bottom of filter can. Probably had some complaints.

~ 2000 psi x 3.14x 1.75^2 ~ 20, 000 lbs force. Yeah, Probably not system pressure. But will relieve in case it has any residual. When I shut down I thought I giggled the controls out of habit but it’s a super easy electric or piloted ??? controls. Could not see or feel any bucket settling...

Oh and the tank has a vent thru a filter element so don’t think it’s under pressure but will remove cap too just in case.

Thanks. I did see a YouTube of a guy suggesting the controls wiggle for a kubota mini excavator for relieving aux pressure to plug in hoses. Watched some reviews on filter wrenches. If it comes to the base only I saw a tool called the filter Talon. The filter itself is heavy and smooth...

I am changing the hydraulic filter on neighbor's CTL and the filter is stuck. I am suspecting I am doing something wrong. Does hydraulic system pressure need to be bled or relieved first? How would I do this? Lower arms/bucket then pull trigger on joystick to float bucket? Do I need to...

Depends on pkg wrapping. I’ll venture if in corrosion inhibiting type paper. Lube up the seal with silicone? and spin slowly then something negligible every month in box takes off a day or 10 miles of life span.

Just other variations of that. They make little ditty bags with draw string closure. Put a rock in bag tie on string / light paracord to draw string then throw rock over limb. Or tie paracord around rock duct tape to secure slippage sometimes rocks have enough shape you can just package tie...
