Re: Redneck home projects...lets see'em
Well,........ I'm not sure these qualify as Redneck Home Projects,........ I think so,...<br />You decide,..........<br /><br />1st,... I needed to move 10 Tons of gravel down the hill,.. about 20',......<br />And,... I had 2 275gal. Fuel Tanks that had rusted thru, junk in other words,....<br />Here's the Start of the project,...<br />
<br /> <br />This is the big move,.....<br />
<br />This is the shute in place,+ the gravel at the bottom of the hill,.... With a 2" trashpump, it took almost 0 effort.... Just raised the dumptruck box,+ Pumped in the water,... the gravel Flowed down the hill to my catch basin made of Hay Bales,+ Barrier Fabric.......<br />
<br />In the Spring I'll try to give it away to a Fire Dept. or somebody for a Chicken BBQer..........<br /><br />This 1 I built for a friend back in 2000,.. He had a camp with a Huge Great Room,+ Open floor plan,.......<br />Big Area,... Big Woodstove,.....<br />
<br />Trouble is,... He Sold the place before the stove was completed,......<br />Now, I have a Big Woodstove,+ No where to put it.........<br /><br />This is the roadside sign at the old family Lodge up in Maine,...... My Sister married a Great Guy,.. With the last name Smart,.........<br />I Couldn't resist the play on words......<br />BTW,... It's a piece of diamond plate with Nickle welding rod,+ Bronze over lay.......<br />
<br /><br />These are at the end of my driveway,... I built them for a fellow who owned a Motel,.... But,.. He sold it by the time I had his sculptures done,....<br />
<br />
<br /><br />This is what happened when I was trying to find Something to build out of the Several Miles of 1/2" black iron pipe I came across,..........<br />Wrong material for this project,.. Too Heavy,+ Bends Too Easily,...... But I built it,+ will run it till it's Junk........<br />
<br />Not only does My 4wheeler fit In it,... It's also towable by the 4wheeler......<br />In other words,...<br />I haul the 4wheeler to the trailhead,..... Unload the Quad,+ Hook the trailer to the Quad,+ Keep Going.............<br />Ayuh,........ That's a Mercruiser Trim System that Dumps the trailer,...........
