    (A) Hobart 210 MVP or (B) Lincoln 211i. A or B, there is no option C in this case.

    I bought a Lincoln MP210 several years ago on a holiday deal, around $1K or so from my LWS. It's been a fantastic machine for me doing mostly MIG car work. I finally am getting into TIG and also going to start into body work so harder MIG welds. I have no complaints or issues with my machine...

    Daughter is buying a new Full size bronco, What is the best DIY undercoating system?

    Used to use Fluid Film and now Woolwax. I got the 4 quart kit with the wands and the sprayer. Worked just like FF, just no smell and thicker. Once you coat it, don't' wash the undercarriage, you want the film between the salt and frame.

    Running a gas line is how much?

    I ran 3/4" black pipe across my basement to get gas to the far side, approx. 75'. hangers, pipe dope and pipe/fittings/valves were a few hundred at the time. Real easy when it's a straight open shot across. Took me a few hours and up and down the ladder a whole bunch.

    Picked up a new Stihl MS311

    Same here for my 2 Stihls. 3 pulls on choke, then fast idle and they light up, no drama.

    Best Inexpensive Welder

    I'll tell you as a new welder, gas is the way to go. Also local support. My LWS set me up with a MP210 and a gas bottle and it's been great. When I have had a hiccup, a quick call to them and all was good. When I had an issue with the gun, a quick trip there and they straightened me out for no...

    New saw: Rancher 460 or MS311

    I run a 24" MS391 and an 18" MS250. It's a perfect combo. The 391 has cut down and bucked a bunch of big hardwoods, no sweat. The 250 is my all around. Have heard good things about Husky's, just my local support is Stihl.

    Wrong LPG pipe size installed

    Which model of 22KW? for air cooled Generac, 3/4" is good to 40' That chart is for vapor, you should be using LP gas

    Portable, NG generator, THD a concern? Inverter?

    Running on NG derates the output somewhere around 15-20%, the specs usually list the LP vs. NG output, that's why you upsize for NG. When available, 22KW Generac kits with everything needed including 200 amp ATS, pad, battery, etc. are around $5400 online delivered via lift gate ( maybe $1K...

    Cutting in an old work box

    So here's how it went: Drilled corners with tile bit, then cut out tile. Took 2 diamond blades and a 3.0 and a 4.0 battery on my Milwaukee OMT, non-fuel. Dusty as hell and LOUD. Ran the shop vac and wore hearing pro. Not a fun job, but all done

    Insulation spray foam or conventional

    Spray foam will air seal everything. Do the 2" and then follow up with unfaced rolls of fiberglass R-30 in the attic to up the R value or blown in. You'll never get the air sealing with fiberglass.
