    Made a trip back to spend the day eating / working with @Ruthless. Top shelf operation and a great guy. Thanks again for hosting. 7BF3786D-2684-4ED7-9365-C0D4337A0AED.jpeg B3D7E820-8A1C-41C4-BFE3-C10903CD2630.jpeg 6C692CB7-0EDB-43C9-AF14-5253FA87015D.jpeg Picked this up for the shop / snow removal along the way.

    Was just over near Ruthlessville on Tuesday. Didn’t realize how close I was at the time. Should have given a holler. I thought I spotted one of his large cars on 84 but it was just an imposter!:cool:;)
     
    Banker, Flint1, JoeyJunk and 2 others Thank this.

    Making headway on the water situation. While we had the trencher there I put a pice of tile in for the down spouts to the ditch. Hope to have running water tomorrow?

    The water Turned out to be a bit of a bust. Very low refill rate. Losing most of the water somewhere between the well and the shop so I order more pipe to replace the whole shebang. I’ll have to make a tank to draw off of to wash the truck?

    I may or may not of went under contract with the building / shop next door to the the one we are working on. I hope I didn’t bite off more than I can chew? 460A8F64-EFA8-4A19-BE28-7E75A2FBB865.jpeg

    Got in another 4 loads of rock this week too?

    Just use an IBC tote mounted up high, and put an (agricultural) stock tank heater in it. 350 gallons of standby water that can gravity feed your pressure washer.

    That’s exactly where I’m going. I can put it right on the floor and hook it up to the shallow water well pump I already bought for my water tank before it got taken. I can fill it with a pool float valve with a drip irrigation tip. Only fill it like 10 or 20 gallons a day?
     
    BigBob410 Thanks this.
