The new rheostat is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, then I'm going to wire it like it was originally set up. What do you mean when you say "no...
Update- I bypassed both switches to go directly to the motor. Both wires were female spade connectors, so I had to be creative to make connection,...
I was thinking that, too. The cage fans (?) spin very freely, with one blast of air, and they keep spinning on their own for quite a while....
I discovered white birch bark burns like it is soaked in kerosene. Had three fully mature white birches planted in a clump die because the...
Only one way to really know how something is going to work out- try it out for yourself (although I love getting insights from everyone)...
Thanks fellas! Great tips. The rheostat has been a little funny the last few seasons, when turned all the way to high, it has less power than...
The blower on my SBI insert (Drolet, Century, Flame Energy, Osburn, Enerzone, etc.) is very weak this season. I took it out and cleaned it...
Good idea. As the posts are round and not uniform, I'll need to do some thinking about how to work with the anchors.
I'm going to use three straight 8.5" diameter spruce poles from a tree I took down as posts for a covered porch. I need to use the drawknife to...
Anything over 16" will get handled by the 55cc husky. Heavy, but dead reliable so far, up to 40" to date. So much of my cutting is small wood,...
Thank Chud. I think I'd like a little versatility, and as this isn't a climbing saw, the really low weight of a 25 cc saw isn't required. What...
Looking to upgrade my small saw, and I think I'll stick with echo, but go from rear handle to top. I'll start with a 14" bar. Looking for...
Yes, I can see the water running and pooling when it rains. The house is on a slope, and most of it is coming down hill, and collecting in the...
I'm not planning on digging much right next to the foundation, just about 6" deep, to put some impermeable plastic, and to get the grading away...
It would be a whole lot cheaper to cut some slots in the floor of the cellar and let the water through. And I still might do that. But don't...
Among current pleasures is a newly developed creek in my cellar when it rains. I need to do a major drainage project around my house. I've...
I had a similar thing happen with a wire that shot off a wire brush attached to an angle grinder. Except it stuck into the fleshy part of the...
Indeed it is. Huge bright spot on the internet.
I am sorry for what you are going through. Thank you for sharing, I've found it to be one of the few things that help. Sharing, and time, and...
Thank you. A wise cousin of mine said something to me in the days following, that I found poignant- when you love someone, you will never have...
