    Modern PT lumber

    All the buildings where I work were built in the 1880’s. There were built on stone and cedar post. I have a collection of cedar post that I make stuff out of all the time. They are in beautiful condition. All but one of the buildings have been lifted over the past 25 years and had a basement...

    Flux Marine Outboard Engines . . .

    It sure is. I have over heard some pretty heated arguments. I don’t get into it for the same reasons I don’t talk politics.

    The EV’s here are very popular and make a lot of sence on the island. The big problem is there is no one to work on them yet so they have to be taken off island. If they were in an accident and there is any reason to believe the battery system was damaged they can’t even be brought into the...

    Modern PT lumber

    In my case I’m on an island and all I can get is whats available. Anything that is a special order comes with a very special delivery price. That’s the price I pay for living on an island I guess so I really can’t complain. The landscape timber here is a better quality are far as rot prevention...

    Modern PT lumber

    I just need to rant about PT lumber. I’m redoing the decks at my house. I added on to the deck 25 years ago so it had a good run and was due for an update. So far I have been able to reuse all the framing until I got to the part I added on. It’s all rotten. The original deck framing is well...

    1988 Johnson 70hp - VRO or not to VRO?

    One of neighbors restores trucks from good old days. They are more expensive than new but then again they are new. He will only do frame off restoration and every nut and bolt is touched. It can take up to two years per truck and he has a waiting list.

    1988 Johnson 70hp inspection

    I can’t remember the last time I saw a 70hp around here for sale. 15hp and under and 115 and above are common sometimes 30 to 40 but not much in between.

    Trail camera issues fixed, now pics from them ...

    I believe that is the law now. This meat can’t be sold so it can’t go to any place that will profit from it like restaurants and such.

    They paid a bounty for does a couple years ago to try and encourage that. I’m not sure if that still is in play. The local hunters association will take any unwanted harvests. They have several volunteers that will process it and they donate it to the senior centers and food banks or anyone...

    There is currently no limit for this area as the state has considered it over populated. Does are fair game

    They just extended deer season here by another month to attempt to thin the heard a bit. It’s estimated that there are about 50 deer per square mile here on the open hunting lands and 100 per square in the restricted areas. The extra month is for primitive fire arms only but there are a lot of...
