    Jet washing pilings

    Thanks for the info. I'm still not sure what method I'll be using. I will have to put in about 100 piles. My son has done some small jetting projects but I haven't. Basically, it is pumping water through a 3/4" pipe to the base of the pile and the water jet displaces the sand/mud and the pile...

    Jet washing pilings

    I just noticed that "ilings" should have been "pilings". Ooops. I wasn't able to edit that. Hey guys. My son and I need to set pilings in my canal out to the river for a boardwalk and boat slip at the river. I think the most efficient method for a DYI project is to jet wash the pilings. I think...

The ratchet straps go around the drum and keeps it snug up against the barge. This keeps the drum about 6" below deck level. Releasing the...

    Dump Barge

    I am dredging a canal using a barge mounted backhoe. I made a 4' X 8' dump barge to dump the mud onto and transport it to the river for dumping. With the mud on the barge, it tends to be somewhat unstable so, using ratchet straps, I mounted a 55 gal. drum on one side. This did stabilize the...

    Hi everyone. Don here. It looks like you guys have a pretty good forum going. A little bit about myself: I'm a retired firefighter and for the past 12 years I've been doing consulting and teaching services in counter-terrorism and HAZMAT. I live in a kinda small rural subdivision along a river...

    Leveling Crank

    Greetings. I'm new here. I have a 1967 Ford 3000, 42 HP Diesel. Yesterday I noticed that my box blade was low on the left side. I checked my owner's manual and it indicated that I could adjust the level using the leveling crank. In 5 years I have never used the crank although I have greased the...
