I have the Hobart 210 mvp and have had it for about 6 years with no issues. 90% of my use has been 120v but I have used the 240v as I do have 240 in my shed for my compressor. I could install another 240 plug but the 120 has been fine and not an issue with the light duty bubble gum welds I make...

Leaving the water temp at 115 is too low and could start a legionarres (sp?). Colony. You should set your water heater to at least 135 to keep bacteria from colonizing. 115 is like a perfect paradise for bacteria to grow. 135 will also help to buffer the 30 gallon size as your tenant will...

I do this every time I use my washer during the winter. I end up using about a gallon a season or a dozen uses. 3 bucks or less at walmart. far cheaper and easier then the pump saver cans. FYI. Do not use auto antifreeze. it’s toxic and not good to be spraying around. RV antifreeze is the...

A+++++ on the fiero!! But it shouldn’t leak[emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also the money spent on a tent would better be used for a decent outbuilding. Plus IMO a nicely trimmed outbuilding looks so much nicer than a tent building. Build it right once and dont worry about it for years. Another thing to consider, I built my unit for my fiero which is a short...

I live in northern N.H. We just had 3 weeks of constant below Zero with temps hitting -28 at my house. Then a thaw with crazy ice/rainstorms. This last weekend I was able to wash the DD by hand and remove atleast 5lbs of salt from the melt off of our shoes. Thank goodness for weathertech...

I use my shed with a dirt floor to store a car in the winter and summer, and everything has been fine. ( I dont have a full size garage) I do line the floor of this shed with a cheap but large tarp, mostly to keep the dirt from getting into the car when I get in and out of it. I drive the car...

I have a similar unit to Joe, this mityvac uses shop air, and I have used it on all of my brake jobs. Quick and easy. I have also used it to **** up other flammable and nasty fluids when necessary. The good deal on this is the ability to keep the suction at all times right till u close...

I should add that now oil has dropped to prices that make the price efficiency of pellets moot. It is much easier to just set the thermostat on wall and let the boiler do the work. I still use the stoves quite a bit as supplemental heat, and I am happy to have them. Here in Northern NH we...

I bought a couple of Harman Accentra freestandings, both used a few years ago. Harmans make a decent stove that does a great job with auto start and stop, as well as built in thermostatic and safety functions. I have had to replace a few items over the years. But no more then what I have had...

Yeah, that would be an insult to the fiero! Haha :beer:
