    That is the first one that I bought. Worked great just wasn't large enough. The one I had was rated for 700 sq ft

    It always been just my wife and I so we don't have a very large house. Its 1300 square feet +/-. 2 take care of it nicely. One in our master bedroom which is sizable with the big bathroom and open walk in closet. The other in the living room. We only need to fill every couple days if its in the 20's and colder. Basically if running on gas vs the heat pump. The much hotter air from the furnace dries things oot much more.

    Did get some work done with the CAT 426 Loader Backhoe. Tried filling the boiler after I put the new thermostat in the return valve. But it leaked after I got the boiler refilled. :picard:I Yi Yi. Had to drain the boiler again. Clean valve face surface and side cover plate surface and use a gasket former to get a better seal. Now have to wait until tomorrow to refill and fire it up. :confused:

    That one looks like it is too much money. The one I have is easy to use, no lifting, easy to clean. About $120 on Amazon
    That is a good price. Plus you can use the batteries on many other tools so that saves a lot. Ryobi is good enough for most home owners use. If you are making a living with your tools, then maybe want to move up to something better, for for most home use, Ryobi is very satisfactory.

    The cordless sawzall would be a cool addition here...
    Oh thanks Larry, that is just a link for a picture the swamp cooler I already have for reference. I was entertaining the idea of using that instead since they are basically the same thing as the awesome humidifier you have, pondering the difference between it cooling us in the summer and the cool humidifier you and yooperdave have. Only difference I can see is fan speed.

    I use the cordless sawzall a lot. After the drill driver or impact driver, that gets used the most.

    Home depot has a big kit for just over 200 https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-O...unGXj1SRb0c_x1KY2LEaArMXEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

    Been sitting in a plow truck since 1am. It's finally starting to stick to the pavement now. I'm guessing we'll maybe get another 3-5" by the time it winds down.

    Well, it was getting a little deeper and yes, I needed to do something outdoors other than getting more wood. :rofl: :lol:

    Same here, about to go start the truck but on the other hand it's not really worth it.
    Didn't realize how..."annoying" it would be to have a 6 minute drive to work.

    If not allowed please delete
    Is anyone near melvin michigan and possibly be willing to come cut and split what wood I have here that I cannt get in my stove? (Its not allot) I'm running out of options and cannot buy wood I have been unemployed since may picked up as much wood that was ready to burn as I could during the summer and it did not last nearly as long as I expected it to,
    I been trying to get by on my own with my 2 year old son. My sons dad is suppose to be back next month, he has been gone with the military since july
    Due to breaking my back a few years ago I cannot cut or split wood myself

    That looks cool. :thumbs:Too bad that chain wasn’t driving both the front wheels. You could have two wheel drive for getting around in the snowy places.
    How does the steering work? Not by braking.?

    Those handles are directly attached to the spindles with a drag link in between.

    A place called Utah trikes makes custom fat tire 4 wheelers with the option of having both rears drive.
