New England B.S. Thread

I know fishermen don’t like to talk about spots but maybe general idea of where to go would be really helpful..

I have a fishing license for nh but open to getting one for Vermont for the weekend. I want to take my late fathers fly rod out on Sunday. Any input is appreciated

 

hey I'm going to need undercoating.

 

Anyone going to the Toyota invasion thing this weekend?
Is it cool? Or is it another Toyota of Portsmouth circle jerk for a select few and the rest of us just awkwardly watch

 

The vines I’d cut and separate from your rhododendron

 

Still needs some detail carving on the posts and a little bit of accent color - green to match the greenhouse.

But it's up!

 

That would have been awesome......the Maloo is a beast

 

Awesome work, looks great

 

If I fuck these ones up I got bad problems.

 

that. greenhouse. is. amazing.

 

Yeah I want one for my Barbie dream house.

All that's left is putting some roofing tar on the cap nails, building a ramp, cutting in vents and caulking and paint. I'm pleased with how it came out. I'd like to have made a few more adjustments, but it's definitely 99%. I ended up redesigning the base as well as the wall design, but I'm pleased. The kit came with a "heavy duty" floor which was treated 2x4s on 16" on center spacing sleighed on (2) 4x4s. I ended up chucking that and doing (4) ground contact rated 4x6 sleighs, ground contacted rated 2x6s and did it 12" on center as I was concerned about the weight of my generator, snowblower and lawn tractor.

I also revised the wall and rafter setup. The kit was set up for 24" on center spacing, I opted to go back to 16" spacing. Since I bought all new wood for the floor frame I just repurposed everything to make it work. Hindsight being 20/20 I should have bought a 10 x 14 kit instead of an 8 x 12 as I'll have to remove my bagger from the mower to fit it in, but I timed myself and it only took approximately 3 minutes to remove and reinstall the unit. I'll just layout and build a shelf to place it on once I get the shed laid out how I want it. For the money I don't know if you could beat it. It's a nice kit.

 

You shouldn't be bagging anyhow. Mulch it in

 

I bag first mow of the year and use it for leaves. I rake them away from the fence, set rhe mower on its tallest setting and just mulch up the leaves.

 

Thanks again @Pugga first ride today, first with just one child then the second with both. Smooth sailing

 

I have the mulch kit as well. Depends on how long I go in between mowings. My grass is super thick most of the time. If it burns out int he summer I will mulch, but when I get the irrigation going I'd have to mow like 3x a week otherwise.

 

Niiiiice.

So. Weird question. Do you think it could fit (1) a cooler, 26qt and some tote bags? (Grocery load) (2) a 45 ish lbs dog? Not at the same time.

Trying to see what I can get away with for cycling accessibility

 

Nice! I’m glad you’re able to use it!

The issue is the bottom isn’t solid. If you put something on the bottom to support the dog or the cooler, the weight isn’t an issue. That’s the 2 person version, I think it’s rated for something like 80-90 lbs. There are heavier trailer options available that are better suited for cargo.

 

Ah didn't know (at least in that one) that it wasn't solid. Figured maybe the seat was or something. Just kind of looking around. There's a ton of bike trailers but the cheapest ones are old kid trailers like that one so I will probably end up with one of those. I think that weight limit is within reason. I have a 45 lb dog and I wouldn't get THAT much for grocery.

I'm even contemplating one of those backpack cooler things but they cost about as much as a used trailer on Facebook so - I can use my coolers I already have, in theory.

Grocery store is only about 1/2 mile from the house so it's not a huge ordeal.

 

Same, I always bag at least with the tractor. If I use the regular mower I mulch. My front and side yard don't have much grass anyway

 

Yup as pugga said it's rated for 80 pounds for 2 kids or 40 for one. I could definitely see it being easy to add plywood or something for the bottom. There's room behind for a bag or cooler too lol my two kids together is about 50 lbs
