I'm not a fan of government intervention where common sense is all that's required. But,,,,,,,,,,,,common sense is so uncommon, governmental ban is the only way to prevent disaster when highly effective pesticides are discovered. These conversations applaud products that wipe-out everything...

Since bag was in box with new mower I never gave thought to blades being less than ideal. I went through owners manual and couldn't find mention of different blades for mulch and bag. Different blades sound plausible so I will contact TB to see what they say. Thanks for the suggestion.

Ok that puts it in perspective. This fridge is more sophisticated than your situation requires. Majority of off grid uses propane appliances which cost much less. Since you are not relying on the appliance for everyday off grid use, get rid of it. If battery pack is worth $4k I shudder to...

I leave lawn clippings where they land except for 30' radius from hvac condensers. With this light use, a Craftsman push mower lasted me over 20 years and wore out ( more like deteriorated with age) a couple of bags/catchers. I could mow the entire area around condensers and have +- half a...

What is practical about a 24 vdc fridge if you are leashed to 120v supply ?

Mommas are looking for bigger prey than mice so abandoned pup or kitten call brings them running at this time. The denser human population (and pets) the more effective this call. I don't feel bloodthirsty but a 223 45 SpHP exploding on impact with a yote lifts my day.

As with all things, variables and combination of variables can make diagnosis difficult. Whether fuel or plasma ,oxygen does majority of work by vaporizing/consuming/destroying metal. Excess dross coupled with appearance metal was gnawed rather than nipped is indication of "hanging out" in...

Sounds like he already knew and only wanted to see how many others know or could correctly guess..

Some burrowing critter lives in that barrel and just cleaning house. If you bury another object near the potato you'll likly find it on ground with potato. If you bought seed potatoes, why are you planting them whole rather than chopping them up and planting eyes?

I never gave thought to each series needing a specific box. I've never found anything better than ammo boxes, they are tough,water-tite and come in many sizes.

I know what you mean. Every time I see the wheels start turning I think "this will be the one" where communication unexpectedly falls silent at some point. I was expecting that anchoring wall to pull away from bottom plate and WOOOSSSSH,,,,,,,,,quick trip downstairs without trolly wheels...

You've received good information and I might add that you should not DELAY trying to unstick clutch. The caveat is that transmission fluid needs to be cleaned up before putting clutch under stress ass Russell suggested. Go out NOW and tie clutch pedal down in fully depressed position and...

That's usually a bad move on steep hills, and 3x ill-advised where soil is thin or non-existent. Limbs and trees laying on surface filter soil from stormwater and retain in place instead of allowing soil to wash down hill where it's lost forever.

He said condenser is clean. But if you talk to ac techs and they will tell you they would like $1 for each time they found dirty coils after being assured they have already been cleaned. That evidently isn't true for "a dealer that has been in business for a long time" Seriously, with all the...

I concur with those above in saying landplane excels on driveways,especially in the hands of inexperienced. What I've never agreed with is ripping road up before grading. I've roamed backroads of Tx,NM,OK,AR and LA never once seeing unpaved roads being torn up before routine...
