Where's @LittleLakePhil when I need him?
Trying to change the oil & filter in my Polaris ATV & can't get the drain plug to turn out. Takes a 6mm Allen wrench, which I have, but no telling how long it's been since it's been removed. I bought the machine used & only use it sproradically; haven't changed it myself. Not sure how much pressure it'll take, but I definitely need more torque than what I'm getting with an adjustable wrench handle on the end of the allen wrench. Why does everything I try to do have to turn into a major production?

Impact driver? Not hit too hard obviously.

Morning pond
(Always kind of thought of myself as more turtle than toad )

This ponds got all kinds Chicki.

It should actually be pretty low energy to heat and cool once we add a drop ceiling and insulate.

You’re gonna drop those lusciously tall ceilings? You’re breaking my heart Shaw. Those are my favorite part.

And I'd have to have a place ready for the ducks first. . they will probably get to move in before we do

Exactly what I was thinking. Do the new Duck Palace first.

Not in the house part that has the awesome wood ceilings. Those will stay. We will insulate above it.
The shop part will get a metal ceiling so no sparks can get to the wooden supports under the roof. And plus just in case a tornado would blow off the roof. . we would still have protection.

I have an air wrench, which should be about the same deal, I think, but no clue how I'd make it work with a standard "L" shaped wrench. I got online looking for something that I could put some torque to. Found one that will take a 3/8" ratchet handle, and another with two Allen wrench bits, one of which will supply a lot of torque; should be delivered Tuesday, so we'll see. How did I ever survive w/o Amazon Prime?

Failing having the right tool for obstinate bolts and nuts, I would, though a bit risky under a engine, apply some heat with a blow torch. It''s not for the feint of heart.

'Air wench', now there's an interesting proposition.

That is a seriously good idea! I wonder if a camper would fit though that garage door
We still have some work we have to do here to be able to get what we need for this place. There is a condemned house on our back lot we have to tear down. .
But if we get all that done this year. . maybe we could get a camper and start staying there next spring.
