Not buying a new truck for quite a while. Have a 2016 F150 XLT 4 x 4 with quite a few goodies. Will probably drive it into the ground.

Sodamo, has your Kohler performed well?

You poor bugger. What a pain you have facing you. In our case, we had the contractor build a chase out of wood, and then use d a wood-burning fireplace insert. Then, we used a fake stone facing on the outside of the fireplace, which looks very good. Inside, we used a stone which just hangs on...

Wow, I’m surprised to hear you say that Kohler and Cumins are worse than Generac. That is definitely not in my experience, nor what I have heard from Owners.

Actually, I would never buy a Generac. I got a Kohler 17 kW with an automatic transfer switch that goes inside the cottage, end it has performed well over the last 10 or 15 years. Can’t remember exactly when we installed it. But, to my surprise, all my neighbors tell me that it is very very...

I agree. We’ll have to dig out the manual and have a look. By the way, it was a real pain to take the battery out to bring it in for the winter. Had to take one of the wheels off!

Well, I didn’t know it was a “dumb“ charger, meaning that it could possibly overcharge the battery? let’s check out what the owners manual says, and then if needed I will use one of my smart chargers.

Drew, mine came with a battery charger, so yours (which is the same as mine) should have one as well.

I have one of those Westinghouse WGN 9500s, and so does Daugen. He had problems with his switch, but I have not. Built a shed for it, and put a good amount of ventilation, plus stove pipe for the exhaust.

The most famous use of the phrase “that explains a lot“ is in the movie Shrek, when Shrek finds out that the object of his affections changes to an ogre like him at sundown every day.

Can you post pics? It is hard to give advice without seeing it.
