Well the predator was $230. A briggs was $450. Plus. I used it today for 2.5 hours and it started with 1 pull. It only used 1 gallon of gas in 4.5 hours of use.

Predator 8hp engine, I installed this engine on my leaf blower I started right up on the first pull. After I broke it in I did part of my yard, and did more today. The engine runs great. I have only used it at 3/4 throttle for 4 hours, after the next section I will bring it up a little more...

I have a old giant vac leaf blower the 8hp briggs had seen better days. I was going to buy the 6.5 predator engine from harbor freight but after I looked at it at the store I realized it was not going to work well so I sprung for the 8hp predator engine. The install is not really straight...

A guy I know built on from a kit from tractor supply, He poured some kind of cement in the bottom and pushed fire bricks into it, he used my saw to cut and fit them in the bottom.

I collected enough sheetrock to do a 36 x 42 ceiling from jobs I work at over a 6 month period. A mixture of lightweight, standard, firecode all 1/2. my ceiling is framed 24oc . I insulated and put all this up, I put blocking on the seams to give me extra screwing and to help with sagging, it...

I don't think there is a certain height to put the switch at, I put my switch around 5 ft and picked up a red emergency gas shut off switch plate for it so it can be seen easily. I have a switch on the back of my heater and one 30ft away also its a great idea!

If you have vinyl siding on the outside wall you may want to pull it in the area of the leaks. you may find no Tyvek or some type of house wrap. or the wrap may be there but not installed correctly. The wrap should be taped at the joints with Tyvek tape. Vinyl siding does get water behind it if...

I changed the heater over to 24v system, I was going to buy all the parts but I got lucky and was told about a Pa unit that was taken out of service that was Natural Gas in back of the Gas Company. I asked about it and was told I had to strip it there in the yard and could not remove it. It was...
