These new battery operated trimmers have come a long way I've got the Milwaukee one that also has the hedge trimmer and pole saw attachments its great. I imagine your dewalt one is similar. Looks like your son is going a great job on the yard work, I remember my dad got me doing the lawn...

so I told my wife this demonstrated the reason why we really should buy a excavator so that we would have it on hand for this kind of stuff. She told me that the excavator is a great idea and as soon as I buy it the first project will be building her a dream backyard pool. She definietly out...

Well friends a few things have happened since I last posted. The roof on the house was finished. So that should be good for 20 years or so. I also had roof vents added to the garage attic (backside) in case we decide to insulate it in the future. Additionally, I had the front gutter...

yes tuesday-Thursday was great, sorry about the door swap on your truck having to wait for better weather! I wish the roofers could have done the roof earlier this week but I think they were held up by getting the materials delivered and are hoping to avoid any hold ups the next time the sun...

not really any snow in the forecast on my weather app, but lots of rain.

Well friends I've been just enjoying the workshop. Helped some friends do repairs on their vehicles. and I also did a little more on the Corvette. Replaced the O2 sensor for my air fuel guage and that got it working and I also had noticed part way through this last summer the oil pressure...

So friends, I have good news. The new fuel pump is in and the corvette is running again now!

That's a good tip, if I ever get stranded somewhere due to a fuel pump I'll keep that in mind. Thankfully the corvette's fuel pump was very polite and decided to quit while the car was parked in my workshop during the winter so its right where it needs to be for repairs, so I'll just change...

OK guys I had a few min and was able to diagnose the corvette. A fuel pressure gauge confirmed no fuel pressure at the fuel rail, and using the power probe I confirmed the fuel pump is getting power. So looks like the pump is dead.

Ya things do tend to snowball! I've not attempted electrical diagnotics before so this will be a learning experience for me. Ya Its a bit frustersting about the body shop, I paid good money so I expected more attention to detail. I proabbly should have investigated sooner, but I got tired of...

Well friends I've been busy working on the corvette lately and its been giving me grief lately! So I took the door panels off because the lock cylinders were very stiff. I was able to correct that issue, it was mainly that most of the joints in the internal linkage had grease on them that had...

Great work on the forerunner lift kit!

Brakes on the SRX are bleed and it drives perfectly so one more item off my list :)

Well guys with it being the holidays I decided it was time to tackle the project on my wife's SRX. So on the Agenda was new wheel bearings front and rear, new ebrake components, new rotors, new calipers, new pads and all new brake hoses. Nothing on the car was actually failed or in need of...

Yes so far its been a very mild winter I don't think we have even touched freezing once. Most days this Dec have been around 10C its been quite nice and warm compared to recent years. Although we did get a lot of rain that caused some major flooding that took out a bunch of our highways in BC...
