My instant reaction to your 2nd paragraph is a negative one. Then I remember I buy mouse poison by the gallon to place around outbuildings. How is that any different? I guess it probably isn't but it feels different to me. Kind of like how growing up on the farm we would kill pigeons...

I'll guess the garage to be approximately 24'x24' with a 16" overhang and 4/12 pitch: 29 gauge colored steel with ridge cap, corner trim, gutter apron , bottom closure, vented ridge closure, 1x4 nailers, roof screws, 4" torx screws for 1x4 fastening= ballpark $1,850 Judging by the cinder...

What size is the garage? Have any pictures?

Neither will I but I promise it will be defended adamantly just like every single piece of technology that is currently legal. " As long as it's legal, I have no problem with it" will still be the mantra.

Wow, not often you see a piece that big. Just think, Jefferson purchased 828,000 square miles for 15 million.

I wish I knew as well. If we get high universal income like Elon wants, money will be completely worthless. That makes me think I should borrow every dime I can now and turn it into property before money becomes ubiquitous. The problem is you need to be able to hold on during interim period...

I use grok quite a bit. I've had it write contracts for me, I'll use it to review a big quote before I send it off. It'll find emissions or make suggestions on wording. I ask it questions about blueprints and architectural plans. I also have an AI assistant on the software I use for drafting &...

I read that yesterday. I'm in the camp of most people have no idea what's coming. I wish I did, but I don't either. I'm just pretty certain everything will change.

That's what I'm hoping to do. I need the right conditions and low wind

I've got about 40 acres I need to burn this spring. I have a fair amount of help lined up so I'm hoping this goes smooth but I still get nervous when I think about it. I already mowed fire breaks around the crp field part of this but I'm debating taking a disk to it as well, at least on the...

I still remember reading the story as a kid. Time flies, RIP Milo.

Thanks, things i never see in the Midwest. Those concrete ships are interesting. It's still hard for me to understand how they can flex enough but they worked. I wonder what a torpedo would have done to one.

I took the survey. I always struggle with surveys like this because more often than not the actual answer is not cut and dried.

I'm a huge Massie fan but it would be all but impossible for him to get anything meaningful done. I still appreciate the 1 or 2 guys that actually have principles and stand by them no matter what.
