New England B.S. Thread

I should clarify....

As I searched to figure out what they were....


It is time to get going on the outside of this house.....and these would make the job exponentially faster/easier, than working off an extension ladder

 

What kind/ brand did you use?

 

Those things are awesome, but come with some safety concerns. I'm pretty sure they have to be installed and inspected by a scaffold erector. That's the commercial world, I'm not sure what the implications are for erecting one of those on private property for private use. You might want to look into the systems that use 2 extension ladders but have outriggers for staging planks. Not ideal, but they do give you a walking surface and is relatively easy to construct and move by yourself.

 

You would obviously need to nail those into the rafters ,three nails on each side( or it might be only two), solid into the roof rafters, spikes 9D nails

 

Anyone interested in 3rd gen offroad wheels with 265/75-16 KO2s with 90% tread. Tires come with 15/32 tread. These have 12/32, 13/32, 13/32, and 14/32. $1200 obro

 

Yeah, this is all new to me one way or the other.

I REALLY need a way to make this happen....

I am also debating on more qoutes for paint or siding....

 

if you have the lawn space you can rent one of those tow around man lifts. I am putting siding on my house this year, I don't have a big enough lawn to get a manlift in so I am borrowing my uncle's pump jack scaffolding

 

Those pump jack scaffolding also have stakesin the bottom of them that stick into to the ground to stop the bottom from sliding out . Well good luck Chase

 

You can't use pump jacks any more on commercial jobs at all according to Osha. That's why I sold mine. I had 30' picks and 20 foot aluminum planks too. Really nice setup that I basically gave away. We have to either erect full staging (which we almost never do) or use scissor and boom lifts.

 

I didn't know that bit about commercial construction. We don't allow them on our projects anyways, I didn't realize it was an all out ban.

 

I use scotts grubex... https://www.homedepot.com/p/Scotts-Grub-Ex-15-lb-Season-Long-Grub-Killer-99605A/202745002
I have not put grub killer down at the right time for 2 years in a row and by the end of september my lawn was a disaster last fall...Apparently the grubs are the "ROOT" of all my problems...they feed the moles and skunks...so if you have grubs the lawn is a buffet for the moles and what not. I had 20x20 areas that were completely torn up like someone used a pitch fork...moles...So to get rid of the moles you get rid of their food, the grubs...

 

Last year I started paying a company to treat my lawn. They are able to do it better than I can. Think my yearly payment is $575 and it includes 12 treatments including all bug/pest specific treatments. That is less than I would be able to buy the chemicals for if I were do try and do the treatments as them.

 

You guys mention pump jacks, and this is what comes to mind.

 

Didnt you just put them on not too long ago?

 

Truck sat on them for the winter. Didn't drive it at all this winter. Didn't see any salt!

 

Hi @BigMacMcCoy

 

Don't mind me, I'm just lurking. I do miss you fools. Y'all need to do a group road trip and do AOP/LBL round here. I'll join in haha

I'm also trying to sell my 265/75/16s but I'll probably have to pull them off the wheels first. Too bad.

 

I Might take these off as well. How are you liking the KM3s? I am looking for my next set of tires.

 

I mean it's hard to compare the 265/75/16 KO2s to the 35/12.5/17 KM3s. The KM3s are loud as hell, won't let me get stuck in deep mud even in 2wd, weigh far too much and ride like rocks even at 25psi, but give me a woody every time I see them on the truck.

So take from that what you will haha

I loved my KO2s, and if I didn't have a DD to keep miles off the KM3s I would have gone with KO2s in 35. But watching people with lockers get stuck on the same hills that I just climbed right up in 2wd at LBL was pretty cool

 

KMs are quiet for mud terrain too. My KM2s were pretty damn quiet when new.
