You wouldn't believe how much money and time I have saved since using slag. Thank you for watching.

Here are a couple of tips when purchasing an IBC tote. They range in price from $25 to $75. The more expensive one usually has a food-grade liner, meaning it could be used for water storage.

Thank you!

I'll show you around the facility the next time we meet.

Thank you for the comment. I am excited about you and your used purchase. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the follow up. I will use the tool because I am all about safety.

Can you describe its use? Thank you for watching.

By all means.

I use an extension cord to power up the equipment in the location where I am using it.

I can help other people in need.

Now we need buildings to put stuff in.

An old man living his dream.

I depends on how far you live from a hardware store. I have a large inventory of hardware so that I don't have to waste 2 hours going to a store. I need to better organize mine. Good Luck, Rick

@@richardross7219 Good point. You're like my dad. It was an hour round trip for him to get anything. I'm 5 minutes from a Home Depot.

Great minds think alike!

Should a disaster happen and barter become the norm, I have barter goods.

Stay tuned; there is more to come.

Nothing lasts forever; however, you enhance longevity if stored out of sun rays. I'm going to sell them on eBay.

My first car was a Corvair, and I collected them for years. However, as my auto repair shop grew, the Corvairs got in the way, so I sold everything.

I am glad you enjoyed the Car Show!

Participants sometimes have a display explaining the restoration of the vehicle. All vehicles attending the show are described by make, model, and year. It can be seen lying on the dash.

I was aware of the bolt's head sticking up. If I tightened the bolt enough, it drew it into the board, which helped with the bump. I could have countersunk the head by drilling a hole a quarter of an inch deep. I am going to continue the shelf today, and I may just do that counter sink.

My wife wants me to make something for the cat since the cardboard play house wore out. I used scrap lumber to build it and it took less than two hours to build.

I'm not sure of the stump digger's brand name. The Kubota B is a nice little tractor.

David, I did episodes as the build took place and made a summary. The garage turned out as I expected. As for size, no matter what you build, more is needed. However, it was built for my son, who only plans to park there. The charging station was a straightforward hookup at the shop panel. It requires a 60 amp breaker and #6 copper wire. He starts and stops the charging on a schedule he desires. What I learned is that I would build another as desired.

Thank you.

You made me laugh about the wheel barrels. Everything comes to me, and I didn't purchase any of them. They were given to me. As for maintenance, I painted them and repaired the wheels. I am very blessed to have what I have, and I thank God for it. I am uploading a video today that took me four hours to edit. You will like it.

As I aged, I became a "Selective Junk Hunter." In my early days, I would bring stuff home from other people's trash. I don't do that anymore because I have evolved to a new level. Since I have been going through stuff, I have second thoughts about how many extras I need. I am getting older and want my children to only sort some things. My plan is to do it while I am alive. I enjoy the peaceful time in the barn by myself. I appreciate you!

Shipping containers are a speedy way to add additional space. When you compare the cost of the container, including delivery, to the price of a wood frame structure and the person-hours it takes to construct, there's a big difference in cost. Paying more for a one-trip container is worth the additional expense. The door works great, and the amount of damage is next to none.

Thank you for the comment. Amazingly, you use the term Engineering because it is a natural ability for me. My next video will be about organizing all the scrap materials I have collected over several decades.

Five tons is a small amount. I usually order 20 tons at a time; in most cases, I order two. As you can see in the video, my driveway is over six hundred feet long. As for the dust, it may be a good choice because it will harden like concrete. Since you already have a slag driveway, I would not contaminate it with limestone. Thank you for watching.

I noticed that when I did the editing, it was too late.

My wife will be the one to address the bedding.

@@jamescarpentercountryliving So a sewingmachine is not one of your favorite tools I guess 🙂 (wife got smaller hands).

Early on, we got a cat playhouse made with cardboard, but it didn't hold up. Joyce has been after me to make her one made of wood.

I will watch the line closely as the skid steer pulls on the stump. Thank you for the advice.

Let me share a little history of the property. I purchased the land in 1974, planted all the trees, tore out the old fence rows, and built all the buildings. The only exception is the shop, where I hired a construction team to create the shell. I did all the finished work, such as electricity, insulation, and interior wall coverings, showing my personal investment in the business. It takes a lot of effort to keep up with routine maintenance of the buildings and the grounds. It has allowed me to stay busy and not become a couch potato. Remember, I raised four children while working and maintaining the property.

@@jamescarpentercountryliving Hats off for you James. Keeping busy as long as possible. Seeing all your property it will take a long time before you can settle down. Doing things yourself brings pleasure and honor. (and costs less $$$$ 🙂)

@@MisterJ56 I'm heading to the shop to get the lighting in the shipping container.

I do appreciate your information about male and female peppers. I have always noticed the three and four humps on the bottom of the paper; however, I just thought it was how they grew. I had some of those bell peppers in my omelet this morning. I grow potatoes in my garden and store them in my root cellar. I have a video on the root cellar if that interests you. Thank you for supporting my channel. It helps me to continue making videos. It is easy to get discouraged when you see the low amount of views I receive. The channel will soon take off and provide me with additional income with the help of people like you.

I appreciate you are telling me what the tool is. I will take it out of the drill bits and put it in the house. I am curious if I will have much use of it.

Thank you, and I appreciate you watching. James

Thank you, David. Organization is critical if you seek efficiency and, likewise, recycling other people's discarded materials that are either free or very low in cost.

That is a good question. The unit is designed to press things. An example would be a wheel bearing being pressed out of its cavity.

You are correct. The compressor is electric (220v). The hose reel's advantage is that it is retractable, saving time rolling up a hose.

Like many things in my life, the compressor was a cheap purchase. The story behind it goes like this. A person I know received an inheritance and purchased some excellent tools. When the money ran out, he sold off the tools, and the compressor was one I bought. It was still brand new when I received it. I paid less than half the price he paid for it. I have two compressors in my auto repair shop that are better than those in my videos. They are older cast iron compressors. Over the years, I have developed an ability to manifest things I want. My friends say everything comes to me. The ability started long before I knew anything about manifestation. I ordered two components on Amazon. One is a reducer, and the other is a 30" adapter hose. I will install them today. I'll point it out in my next video. I appreciate you and your interest in my lifestyle. James Carpenter

Thank you for the suggestion. When I get to the shop this morning, I will look at the cart. I added a tote to catch the sawdust. I will post later today to show how it works. I'm working on cart #3, which will hold the chop saw and the lawn mower blade sharpener. Both of these tools omit nasty dust. I can open the garage door and let the sparks exit my building. It saves a lot of time cleaning up.

I have no information on the toxicity of this material. However, you can search the product for information on health effects. Thus far, the EPA has not outlawed its use. I know it will reduce the amount of money you spend on driveway upkeep. On wet days, limestone omits a mud-looking substance that gets on the car's body. That will go away, along with potholes. I have about three inches on top of my limestone driveway. In the high-traffic area, it will harden like concrete over time. I understand your concern for the grandchildren.

David, I considered replacing the stove. Two things caused me to keep and repair this one. The cost of a new stove and the duct work would not adapt to the new stove, requiring a lot of fabrication.

When you dump it from the loader, there is dust. Once it's down, there is no dust. In the high-traffic areas, the slag hardens like concrete. Since it was put down, my driveway maintenance has been near zero. The slag I use is smaller than 57's down to dust. I'm sure the dust or smaller particles only help to lock things in.

Thank you for the great comment. I ordered 50 plastic bins on Amazon for $98.00. They will be here on Monday or Tuesday.
