    I resently got to pay for a 50mg drug called a clot buster. That 50mg was $15,000. In Britain the same drug is $1,200. Its called the cost of doing business. And I still wanted to do business and my wife is happy with the cost.

    Your last generator Maintenance Run

    We were having the same problem with gray diggers this year as well as voles putting a damper on the garden. Took four weeks to get them under control before the garden destruction ended. Didn't know gray diggers were a problem for others this year. Had to run the generator on the 4th of July...

    drywall fine thread screws to install drywall in wood studs instead of metal studs

    One good ground shaking event may show you why the metal stud screws are not designed to be used with wood studs. If you live in an earthquake zone an inspector there would write a correction notice if they caught it.

    Mahindra Max 28xl PTO

    Are you sure it is the PTO vs a clutch on the tiller. My tiller clutches out sometimes underload (hitting a big rock or large root). PTO quiting, to me that would be split the tractor and repair.???

    Mahindra

    Sounds like the injector lines need to be cracked a bled, tightened after fuel comes out. I believe the 1526 is a Mitsubishi engine and should be self priming.

    Getting rid of racoons

    In Washington State you are required by law to have a trappers license to trap. So my neighbors don't trap them anymore, they just shoot them. Then let the crows and vultures do the clean up.

    Offgrid Genset Transfer switch

    Kind of curious about the FNDC in your system since my understanding is that a BMS (Battery Managment System) controls the charge state of the Simpli-Phi batteries. Correct me if I'm wrong here. Does the FNDC function the same for the Simpli-Phi batteries as it would for lead acid batteries...

    Offgrid Genset Transfer switch

    When we installed 4"HDPE NG lines the specification (standard) as provided by Southwest Gas in Arizona was a 12" horizontal seperation and a 12" vertical seperation. Or 24" horizontal seperation. That was 18 years ago. Shading material in the trench was required to be 3/8" minus and make 90%...

    Insulation behind breaker box

    I use rockwool behind electric panels, you can buy small quanties online. Or go to ZORO.com or McMaster-Carr and buy a 2x4 sheet and cut and stack to the thickness you want. Rock wool is harder to distort in tight places and because of this it maintains its R-Value.
