    DuroMax or Champion generator

    Can't argue about Honda quality. But for a lot of folks, myself included, you have to look at bang for the buck. I'm in SW Florida so every year there's the threat of hurricanes. But years can go by without so much as a whiff of one. Taking the cost and dividing it by events that need a...

    DuroMax or Champion generator

    I have a large and small dual fuel Champion. Would buy them both again. Champion has a pretty good customer service. And they stock pretty well on parts. I've heard and read so-so on the Duromax. But that's just one guy's opinion. I don't think any of the gensets in this category are USA made...

    Need a New Lawn Mower

    It said it was a mulching blade. Everything is clean. Carb, air filter, plug. And it's SW Florida so you're cutting the grass pretty much all year long. So, like a generator, it's not like it's sitting around getting gummed up. During the winter when the grass isn't growing like a jungle, the...

    Need a New Lawn Mower

    I sharpen regularly, like every two times, because I thought that might be the problem. And I always cut in the afternoon for just that reason. I used to want to cut in the morning, but if there's even a little dew, it's twice as bad. I also keep the underside of the deck clean because it does...

    Need a New Lawn Mower

    You did better than me. It took me to an upholstered bench:mad: Let me try it again. If this doesn't work, I'll try it from another site. And no, I don't usually have a problem posting a link:LOL...

    Need a New Lawn Mower

    A lot of good questions and advice. My yard is not very big. SW Florida Bahia grass. No, I will not cut my grass more than once a week even though it could take it. It does get long but I do keep the mower deck pretty high. I mulch, not bag. I agree with this. I think the mower I have just...

    Need a New Lawn Mower

    Looking to buy a new walk behind, self propelled lawn mower. I've got a Toro 22" recycler that struggles with my grass. The mower starts and runs fine. But it gets bogged down even when I cut half wide strips. I've been leaning towards a Honda.

    Resin Storage Shed -- 8x10 -- Suncast Tremont Thoughts?

    I just put up a Suncast 7 x 7 Modernist shed 3 weeks ago. Same reason as you, I just needed more room for lawn equipment, etc. to get it out of the garage. I had a metal 4 x 7 lean-to type shed for years. The weather here in SW Florida can be brutal on stuff like this. It served it's purpose but...

    Portable Generator runs MUCH better on Natural Gas than Gasoline?

    I guess I was keying on the hard starting of the Skilsaw. That, and like I said, it seems every time I hear about an NG problem, it's often too small a line to feed the load.

    Portable Generator runs MUCH better on Natural Gas than Gasoline?

    It is a lot cleaner to run on NG. And of course no gumming up of the carb problems. I am certainly no expert. But from everything I've seen and read, over and over again, a 1/2" NG line is pretty small for a generator of that size. It might be fine under a light load because it is dialed in...

    Let's See Your Garage Dog

    That was all my wife's doing. There is a whole kitchen cabinet just for the dog's pills, potions, powders, and vitamins. And that doesn't include the healthy treat drawer. Or the first aid kit for the dogs that looks like it was made for an EMT. Us, we have a few Band-Aids in a bathroom drawer...

    Let's See Your Garage Dog

    The rescue named him that because they didn't think he was going to make it. He was in the hospital for a month and a half after two guys carried him out of the Everglades. He had an abscessed snake bite on this head, his feet were torn to shreds, and a really nasty case of the mange. Along with...

    Let's See Your Garage Dog

    Well, the little one was my neighbor's. She could be a little $h*t disturber. But Trooper was a get-along kinda hound. At the dog park he was known as the peace keeper. When a couple of other dogs looked like they were about to square up and fight, Trooper would just walk between them and stand...

    Let's See Your Garage Dog

    This was Trooper, 1/2 shepherd/ 1/2 Bloodhound. He was a rescue found in the Everglades, half dead. We lost him a week and half ago. He would have been 16 in a week. He was still going strong except for a brain tumor. God I miss him...

    I think I am going to purchase the HF 9500 watt generator this week

    I was going to suggest to the OP that he could just pick up one or two window A/Cs and not sweat the central air. That's what I do in SW Florida. I think that's what a lot of folks do. I'm surprised that your gen struggles with a 10K A/C. I've got a Champion Dual Fuel that's only slightly...

    I wish Noltz would fix his pictures. I would have liked to see it. Noltz, are you listening?

    portable generator

    I happened to check back on this thread and realized I had posted the wrong video in my post above. For what it's worth, I posted the right one. It's shorter and actually shows the process:sneaky:
