    Frying Oil ???

    In my experience peanut oil is good in that it has a higher smoke or burn temperature but if you are careful to not get the temperature to high and use a thermometer I find that canola oil works just as good. Canola oil also has no taste and is less likely to induce an allergic reaction that...

    Anyone Install a lift station themselves?

    You are correct in the the principal of a pump pit for drain tile is similar to a sewage lift station. The ones I've seen were installed by plumbers but it's a sewer line to the pit like any other sewer line. Then the lift station pumps it up (lifts) to the main sewer line and from there it...

    Building a new house

    So many good ideas. One I can't argue with but don't necessarily agree with is not to use vinyl siding. My experience with vinyl siding is that there are different grades of vinyl siding. Some is heavier gauge than others. One hard and fast rule is never mow close enough to the house so that...

    Building a new house

    What's an unnecessary upgrade. There is a huge difference between cheap cabinets and good cabinets. Not so much between good and top of the line. Windows are windows that you can look through until you have to pay the heating bill and replace them in a few years. Upgrades for at least good...

    Getting the "SNIP"

    Had mine done more than a few years ago. Insurance covered the procedure. Don't be in a hurry to get to active. Suggested for me was to take it easy for a couple of days. Did that and had no problems. Way less invasive for men than for women. And NO it does not turn you into a gelding.

    Boots

    In the past I really liked Meindel's from Cabela's. Then I tried on a pair of Kennetrek's at Scheels. Not a lot of difference between Kennetrek and Meindel for me. Kenetrek are not cheap but so worth it for me. I justify the cost to my wife by telling her that I'm done growing, at least my feet...
