Not the only thing to use a saw blade backwards for, vinyl siding,...
@@jimmiller6704 Thank you - I did not know that
As a retired general contractor, you should never cut with the paint side up as the hot pieces actually burn the paint and can cause premature rust, always cut from the back side.

I use wood blade and change it backwards. After cut 3cm easily. But I stop and check the blade. Find out 3 pieces of teeth missing after do this
@@vnyeu I always used an older (well used) carbide tipped Irwin crosscut blade for cutting 1 sheet at a time of corrugated meta roofing & never lost a tooth 🤔
Wear yer earmuffs! A sandbag sitting on the sheet also quietens it down.
@@ptiu2458 What?🎧😂😂 Great points - I’m a teen in the 70’s - My 👂🥁’s (eardrums) were shot 50 years ago😂👂
This is a great find. I found your Facebook page, and I’m following there too. I’m also a watercolor artist!! I’ve been painting with acrylics for years, and have done a couple of horses (one is of mine). A couple of years ago I decided to try watercolor, and I’ve mostly followed tutorials, but starting to do some things on my own. I don’t feel competent enough to do animals yet, but seeing the ones your friend did of your donkeys makes me want to try. Fun learning about donkeys. Our horses will be 22 and 24 in the spring, and at some point we’re going to probably end up with only one. I’ve worried so many times about one horse being alone, and lonely. A donkey might be worth considering, especially since I need to keep my horse on a dry lot now. I would never just jump into it without a good plan and really understanding what’s involved, but fun seeing yours, and happy to be following. We also have a dog, and just the three animals really tie us down. But, it’s a choice we’ve made, and there’s nothing quite like living in the country, looking out the window, and seeing the horses (or wildlife). We’re both retired, and the one thing I worry about is eventually having to move into town. I like people, but I really cherish having all this space (my husband feels the same way). And one last thing: Russian history is fascinating.
I’m not sure what kind of sand is in our dry lot area, but it’s very dusty. And, unfortunately, part of the dry lot is on an incline. We have a lot of clay, but not the way you do. We have to keep one horse on a dry lot because of laminitis, and because it was so dry this summer, we were constantly dealing with dust, and his hooves ended up chipping and cracking. This is the first year dealing with all of this, and it has not been fun! Love your donkeys, and so glad they’ve found such a wonderful, caring home. Also, we (mostly my husband) clean up twice a day. I love the covered wooden step that goes into the barn! One thing we have trouble with is how quickly the sand wears down at the doorway where the horses come into the barn to get to their stalls. Our area might be too steep, but I’m sharing this with my husband for all your great ideas!
@@annewatman677 Thank you - We use “manufactured sand” which is man made from crushing granite rocks. It can be very dusty. During really dry times I’ll dump the water buckets under their hangers when refilling, so they stand in wet sand whenever drinking. This puts a little moisture in their hooves. I also wash their hooves with Water & Apple Cider Vinegar when picking them which also helps with the over drying of their feet while killing any Thrush Bacteria 👍
@ Thank you for the quick response! I’ve never heard of using Apple Cider vinegar, but certainly worth a try. And, I’m not at all familiar with Trish bacteria. We’re in southern Wisconsin, so maybe that’s why? We’ve had such a hard time finding someone to help us (we’re older than you!). When we initially built the barn, and put in the “sand,” I’m guessing manufactured was what was used. You’ve definitely given us some good ideas. Thank you.
@@annewatman677 I spelled Thrush Bacteria wrong in my comment 😂 - You are welcome to email us if you’d like - Our email address is in the “About Section” here on our channel in TH-cam 👍
@ Auto correct is always changing words on me! I have dealt with thrush, but it was at a place where I was temporarily boarding my horse. Too many horses, and they would stand in mud all day. It’s still that way for a lot of the horses, and very happy ours live with us. Absolutely love the way you’ve set everything up. Also, thanks for the contact info; you are very thoughtful and generous.
@ reach out any time - we have made close friends all over the country from our YT channel 👍❤️
Could you leave the blade as is and just cut from end to beginning…pulling the saw backwards?
@@homesteadireland7473 I wouldn’t recommend it - you would be pulling the saw towards you & wouldn’t be able to control any “Kickback” that may occur from the circular saw 😭
Not a good idea... Super hot metal chips WILL damage the painted finish. It will LOOK OK but its not. These heated/ burnt spots WILL rust as will the cut edge due to heat build up.
@ True - It’s just a quick, down n’ dirty way to cut a piece of metal for a chicken coop roof - Even then I put the cut edge up into the ridge cap so it’s not exposed. I always order my roofing cut to dimension from a roofing supplier for finished buildings. That’s the only way to go, if you want to do a professional job👍
It's a good pump dude

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
I started cutting steel siding in 1980 with a backwards blade in a skill saw. It always left burrs. If the blade heated up ypou could not cut a straight line. It won't cut wood if you turn it around. It will burn wood. Buy a steel cutting saw from Dewalt with a 50 tooth ferrous metal blade. Also wear hearing protection and a Face shield. Hot metal coming off these saws can burn into your skin and stick to it.

@@nonyadamnbusiness9887 Very true - great comment
This channel is such a gem. So happy to have discovered it. Thank you for being so generous sharing information. I'm about to build a shelter for my two minis and wondered what dimensions you'd recommend? Yours looks like it allows enough room for both to move around comfortably and both lie down to sleep but not so big that all their warming body heat would quickly dissipate. A third mini, who's larger than the other two, may be joining so I guess I should leave enough room for him. Any suggestions?
@@missotis13 Thank you - Our Mini Stable is only 8’x10’ & it is a bit too small - I would recommend at least a 10’x12’ for 2 Miniature Donkeys & even larger for 3. You are welcome to contact us via email if we can help in any way: clearcreekcabin@mindspring.com

@@karlaflores9617 What year is yours? Mine is a 2019
I also put a thin piece of plywood on the metal to run the saw on so it doesn't scratch the metal, or cut it upside down
@@artsyo4286 great ideas thanks
Buy a cheap steel plywood circular saw blade, without carbide teeth. Install the plywood blade backward. This will prevent metal burs on the sheet metal. We did this back in the late 1980s while building pole barns.
Great thank you
You can cut that sheet really easy with a 5" disk grinder and an ultra thin cutting disk. Do it on the ground so you are right over the sheet and freehand it along a sharpie line. You will be amazed how easy it is, and how straight you can cut it.
Thanks for the tip 👍
Certainly the better way!

So you’re telling me we don’t need crawl space vents now? After 200 years of people building homes with crawl space vents? I’m confused
@@PolcoDiablo Do your own research on the internet - studies have shown that ventilation to the outside can allow more moisture into the crawl space in southern areas of the country + in my case, I have a fully finished crawl space with block walls & a poured concrete floor. So, I do not want to introduce humidity or cold temperatures.

I appreciate the time you have taken to provide this resource; it's not easy finding reliable, first-hand knowledge on this matter. We purchased our first home here in Vero Beach, Florida, in June of '23. The house is a 1933 block structure, with a crawlspace beneath joists that support a diagonally oriented t&g subfloor beneath oak t&g flooring. My theory regarding the potential for long-term troubles is that, with the advent of central air, the equilibrium of moisture content of wood above vs below the air-conditioned living quarters is disrupted. The occasional crowning of the t&g flooring in isolated spots wouldn't bother me if not for the potential for unseen consequences. The idea of sprayed foam being applied to the underside of my flooring system sends shivers down my spine.......what if it's applied with just a few breaches? I mention that because there are a lot of companies that promote it as part of a full encapsulation. If I'm understanding correctly, you're suggesting integration of the crawlspaces air into the home cooling system. Am I at least thinking in the right direction? Thanks again! Nick
@@mechantics I am not an Engineer and can only share my experiences. It’s obvious that moisture is the problem in your crawl space causing the wood floors to swell. I would seal the foundation wall blocks with a specialized concrete paint/sealer and + a ballasted vapor barrier on the dirt floor (6 mil polyethylene held down at overlapped seams with crushed stone & affixed vertically to the block walls) Instead of introducing conditioned air I would install a dehumidifier & a small fan to circulate the air to the dehumidifier & close any out side vents. I introduced a/c air primarily for heat in the crawl space for winter + my space has a poured concrete floor with poly underneath (much more forgiving) Good Luck - reach out to our email if you would like to discuss more - email address is in the “about” section here on YT
Do not cut your metal roof or siding material with a skill saw unless you plan on painting the cut edge or it will rust. Even if it's galvanized under the paint it will still cut through the zinc coating and rust. So rent a nibbler or buy one and then sell it when you're done with a job, but keep the die cutters lubricated or it will get dull sooner than you want. You can use a spray lubricant in between cuts.
@@bobmiller8485 Better yet order your roofing material cut to length at the roofing supplier. That’s what I do for bigger projects. I only cut roofing metal with a saw for things like chicken coops & animal runs (& put the cut end in the ridge end cap)
@@ClearCreekCabinMiniFarm yes that's true I was going to mention that. But a lot of people buy off the rack and don't order their material to size either because they're afraid of their math skills or they don't draw up a plan. Also you still got to cut around doors and windows and etc. also if they use a nibbler make sure you take your shoes off before you go into your house or you're going to scratch the floor from all the shaving stuck to it.
@@bobmiller8485 😂
@@ClearCreekCabinMiniFarm even if you put the cut edge under the ridge cap it can still rust due to condensation and moisture blowing under. But that is the place to put your cut especially if you can't cut straight. Also if you're cutting wall steel for length put the cut edge up towards the soffit into the j channel where it's not visible.

I use a small pair of needle nose pliers to pry away the hose from the filter connectors, it pulls it back evenly and it gives you more prying force, use a rag to cover the rubber hose before clampling it so it doesn’t damage the rubber hose with the teeth.
Great Tip - Thanks
Equine is neat, but they are all a lot of work, and if you are up for the challenge fine, but if not, think twice. Enjoy someone else's donkey.
@@birage9885 True, but worth the effort for the love we get in return 👍
@@ClearCreekCabinMiniFarm Oh, I agree. I have 8 Welsh Harlequin ducks, they can be a lot of work, if done right, but they have been a highlight of my life. I only mentioned it because we tend to see the rewards before the risks, hence all the rescue animals. I would love to have a donkey someday, but it looks like there is a lot to deal with, again, if done right, which not everyone is committed to do when they get their animals. Otherwise, I can tell that I absolutely would enjoy and love a donkey. Thanks for posting this type of video.
Yes - Way too many people take in animals before realizing the level of responsibility involved and then just throw them away. Donkeys have become very popular which has severely increased the volume seen in auctions because they are so much work - Very Sad... Thanks for your comment.
