Shop updates replacing a wood furnace with a pellet stove in the candy shop.
Переглядів 4,3 тис.3 роки тому
Today we installed (cobbed) a pellet stove in the shop/man cave/candy shop. I'll use the right hardware, I promise, but for now we just wanted to see if it worked. Should be a lot easier and quicker than the wood furnace that was in there before. Just hanging out on the weekend doing projects and thought might be worth grabbing the camera.

You build a 4x8 nacho table! Kind of a test run at a new direction with the channel. Stay tuned for an upcoming series. The Ass-tracker! We're building a picnic table party boat from beginning to maiden...

    I have never run 3 axles let alone 4 on truck or trailer. Pulling an end dump in SW Oklahoma I run outta the crusher at 85000 lb.s max and since as an owner operator or outside hauler as they call us...I get paid by the ton and push it to the max, heavy haul. Is it worth it to put another axle or more under my trailer? I getta overweight permit which helps ya know when DOT axles us out. I pretty much stay off the internet at that weight, of course. How much does all that extra axle help? Wondering if it is worth the time and money.

    I'm dealing with depression in this field of work. I got my CDL 5 months ago, Iv been otr for a few months. I do feel stuck out here. Going back isn't an option I have people depending on me. I just can't find happiness and I don't know what to do? im in a lot of Pain mentally. My younger brother passed away a few months ago. Iv come a long way to get where I am. I just don't know if I went the right way. I pray things get better.

    I didnt see these weights since I was hauling demo into Antrim P.a. no, it wasn't legal for us . We had the trucks for it, but we had walking floors trailers that weren't . They were good trailers, just missing some axles . ..

    Ok, you guys aren't far from me . I see the N.Y. plates . Are you guys hauling off of rte 22 ? North of Brewster ? I see these heavy haulers, I'm guessing they are hauling rocks or sand . I have a clean license 27 yrs of driving framless and frame with flatbed and tanker experience . I'm about 45 min from Brewster N.Y. I live in Connecticut . If I'm incorrect, can you point me in the right direction ??? And I have off road ( Landfill ) exp as well .

    I’m 49 years old, I’ve lost my wife, my house, my car. Living in the truck full time feeling stuck in a lease program making a couple hundred dollars a week. I’m completely defeated and I don’t know how to get out of this spiral but I’m just focused on hour by hour, day by day.

    Thank you for taking the time to detail this process. My 2 questions are: does anyone make a vibrating feature that would help loosen stuck materials? If your load is stuck is it ok to lower the dump half way and then reverse your truck and hit the brakes? Not going super fast or super far.

    I just begun a job doing the same, end dump trailer with 5 pistons going up. Im having difficulty with construction workers about the unleveled scenarios in job sites muddy and clearly uneven terrain. How can i explain to them that i can't unload on uneven terrain, muddy and with other truck tracks crossing the way where i dump? They just don't want to understand how dangerous the situation is. They think I'm doing whatever i want.

    The hardest thing in trucking is the extreme hours, and what it does to your health. You’re sitting all day. You don’t have any life outside the job cause you’re working 14 hours a day. Your don’t get enough sleep and nothing in your personal life gets taken care of cause your working 14 hours a day. The driving is easy. That part I like. It’s not hard. But the other stuff I mentioned is hard. It’s horrible for your physical health. I been driving 11 years. I have gained 40 lbs and I cannot lose the weight. But the driving I like. I’m a pretty introverted guy anyway. But what u are saying is dead on. There’s more I dislike about trucking than I like. I would get outta the industry but I don’t have a college degree so what else am I gonna do to pay the bills if I quit trucking? Your life has no balance cause you’re working 80 damn hours a week. The driving of the truck I like. The hours I hate. Not being able to have a life outside of the job is what sucks. I cannot play music or any of that cause your working 13 hours a day. If it was 8 hours a day it would be much easier
