Charlotte, NC area: hate on OP, houses, boats & hoes

What’s the consensus on tree roots? Stump grinder or pull them out?

 

I've been using a sawzall to make them manageable and then pulling them out. With all the pine trees we had the stumps ground down, but there are still a butt ton of roots to pull up.

Those grills are doing what?

 

That reminded me to get some I had out of the freezer to thaw....

 

Oh holy F...Vortex > Air Fryer

hands down best wings I've ever made. wow. super crispy skin and juicy meat.

 

Fookin work kept me from getting the grill going earlier this morning so... gonna give this a go in the oven!

@Bannerman you need to get a vortex or one of the cheap chinese knockoffs from Amazon.

 

So you're saying I need yet another grill type thing on my already overcrowded rear patio?

 

At least you can store it IN the grill

 

So.is it just the grate system that goes in the grill

 

its nothing more than a stainless cone. it's versatile though.

You can find knockoff on Amazon for <$25

 

Thoughts on metal carports? Best place to buy one? I don’t have a garage and I am tired of my vehicles getting covered in leaves. Would eventually like to build a permanent shop/garage with apartment over it but that isn’t happening anytime soon.

 

Do you have a surface other than gravel to set one on?

 

Just gravel for now but I would be willing to pour a pad if needed

 

Either pour a pad or measure out, dig and pour columns. Anything to anchor it to.

If you have trees or structures nearby, hanging a covering over it would be cheaper and easier. Anything to keep sun off of it. A car port won’t keep anything from blowing in any more than hanging a sun proof, fabric covering will (unless you mean one with covered sides and front)

 

A carport will at least keep you dry and keep most of the funk off your vehicles, and as a bonus, makes a good place to smoke some meat when it's raining!

We had one at the lake house we rented and thought about getting one for this house. Still might get a smaller one for parking yard equipment and stuff under.

 

Here is what I am working with. Probably would need to rent a bobcat for a day to level out a spot for a 2 car carport.
