Stop Paying For Fence Stain | Make Your Own!
This is an ol' farmer's trick, using used engine oil to treat lumber and stain fences. Our version of homemade fence stain is diluted with solvents like paint thinner and diesel so the stain will flow better through a spayer. Do NOT use gasoline! We did a couple side-by-side comparisons using Ready Seal Exterior Wood Stain (pecan color).
Let me know in the comments if y'all would use homemade fence stain.

    A small fruit tree was removed [about 10 feet from my home] they left a small stump and now I have a colony of carpenter ants. I'm guessing that the ants were attracted to the sweetness of the stump. How can I get rid of the ants?

    I use only used motor oil on outdoor wood projects. I don't dilute it and just wipe it on with a brush. Usually needs re-treatment every 2 years. It's free and makes the wood last for a very long time - treated or not.

    Works for a yard that is mostly cleared, but if you have a wooded lot or a lot that has a lot of stumps and forest nearby you could start a root fire, and they can travel miles over months and resurface.

    It's crucial to understand the intricate world beneath our feet. Tree roots weave a vast web underground, and burning a dead stump might unwittingly ignite this hidden network. I've witnessed fire spread beneath the surface, reminiscent of flowing water. Be mindful that this fiery journey could unexpectedly emerge in your neighbor's yard. Vigilance is key; while fire may seem benign, it can swiftly turn foe.

    Loving these comments! Wanted to address the few that took offense to the terminology "hose jockeys"… it was meant with endearment. The old man featured in this video was in the fire service for over 30 years and said, "we used to call each other way worse in the fire house".

    I've been staining my fence with used oil. I even did my deck last year. You're right tho, the color does fade slightly but it still repelled water. I used a roller on my fence so i could just dip it in the oil bucket and go. A sprayer did not work as well for me

    Having a fire in your backyard that burns for days isn’t very considerate to neighbors. Plus, days of work, smoke, risk of fire spreading and irritated neighbors could have been avoided with a 1hr rental of stump grinder.

    Cutting the slots down top to bottom was a good idea. I made some I guess what might be called redneck tiki torches from metal pipes about four inches diameter and old scrap parts like brake rotors and gear from a local recycling yard. I mixed old cooking oil with about 10 to 15 percent gas. Don't want any more gas than that. or it can make for an interesting video watching an old man not forgetting how to jump back. Where are those folks that record everything with their cell phones when I do stupid stuff? lol. Those roots are the hardest part to get rid of. Having a lot of brush and stick and branches helped. Just watched another video of someone using a barrel and cut a hole in the bottom to blow air in with a leaf blower. Worked pretty good.

    so its not ok in some places to burn out trunk but ok to use a noisy dangerous machine to grind it annoying neighbors and spewing pollution or using toxic chemicals requiring many treatments and years only thing burning requires attending it by the person so it don't spread its not something you start a 6 am and don't look at it for the whole day and water should be ready

    We have a job to do also. Especially if you live in a area that you're not able to have open burning. Now there is ways around this if it's small and your using it as a source of cooking food. Also it's better to have us show up and it's nothing then have something like your house on fire and know one comes to check it out to keep the fire small and being able to put it out fast so it doesn't result in losing your home or property.
