I've done much worse. And FWIW, I don't wash with a hose. I rinse with a hose. I wash with a bucket of soapy water and a wash mitt. I agree, if people are washing with just water pressure alone, then a pressure washer is probably the better choice. I didn't really consider that there are people...

I was always told that you don't want to oversize an A/C system because it will not have enough cycle time to remove humidity. In that case, you want the A/C running longer, not shorter cycles, no?

My cars are pristine as well. Better than delivered new. And I wash with a garden hose and normal water pressure. Nobody needs a pressure washer to wash a car properly. That's ridiculous. Sorry, I don't buy into that ****. Here's my 2016 Audi, purchased brand new and only handwashed using a...

Here's mine. I never found a need for a powerwasher to wash my cars. A regular garden hose supplies all the water and all the pressure I'll ever need. That guy at Obsessed Garage just makes me laugh. He sells solutions to problems that don't even exist. Kranzle pressure washers, giant air...

I considered getting one myself (and the Ryobi zero turn too), but in the end I chose a Toro Timecutter 50" and it's awesome. I do have an Ego 21" mower, backpack blower, and string trimmer and they are all great.

Disagree. I have a CTEK smart charger that had a desulfation mode for AGM batteries. I've used it on some older batteries and it actually did a good job. And of course life cycle changes with deeper DoD, nobody is debating that. The fact remains that a one-acre yard (pretty typical across much...

Disagree. They are designed to deep cycle. And besides, even if we went with your 50%, it wouldn't be an issue for anyone with a property like mine. I'd need less than 1/3 of the pack to cut my lawn every week. And common sense should obviously tell us that anyone with a large lawn isn't going...

Tell that to Optima or Odyssey....or any other AGM battery makers for that matter. "What is the DoD of AGM battery? 80% While a popular choice for deep cycling, as an AGM battery has a depth of discharge (DoD) of 80% versus a standard flooded battery which has a DoD of 50%, it is also a...

Your math if flawed. Even if you account for an allowable 80% DoD, then we're talking amost 2.5 acres of actual cutting on fully charged batteries. With my 1.1 acre property, there's about 35,000 sq.ft. of grass to cut. That said, I'm quite sure that the original lead acid batteries wouldn't...

I've done the math for the Ryobo zero turn mower, which uses 4 sealed lead acid batteries that allow up to 3 acres cut per charge. What I determined is that the batteries would have to last me 6 years beforing replacing them in order to break even with the cost of gas for the same 6 years. But...

Thanks for posting that pitcture. I remember as a kid my neighbor had one of those pale yellow electric riding mowers and I never knew what they were....but now I know that they were old GE mowers. I do remember he had a bunch of car batteries in them though.

I went with EGO and have not been disappointed. It has plenty of power and the battery lasts long enough for me to do both sides of my aluminum fence, edge my front and back sidewalks, my entire driveway, all of my mulch beds, including around my trees and even the Belgium Block on the road...

A peristaltic pump works great if you have access to one.

I went with the largest air cooled unit made by Generac....that was seven years ago. It has been perfect so far, no issues at all. It also got us through several power outages that lasted more than two days. Last one was the tornado last September that went through NJ. My power was out for three...

Funny that you say that. I built a large house seven years ago and every single light in the house is an LED. The only exception is the light bulb in my clothes dryer and oven. I believe they are both regular incandescent bulbs. Anyone, seven years later and not a single LED has failed and that...

What would cause it to backfire?

Tesla sends technicians out to you to fix the majority of issues. Very rarely does a Tesla need to be sent to a shop and when one does, it gets towed like any other car.

There's no doubt that electriciation of automobiles and trucks will severely impact the repair industry in general. These vehicles just have MUCH LESS to go wrong mechanically compared to internal combustion cars. But they still have basic stuff like wheels/rires/suspension/brakes...

I gotta say, the garage floor looked incredible with the tiled floor. The coated floor looks okay too, but nothing like the tiled floor's awesome look. Why did you have issues keeping it clean? I mentioned in another thread that I just pressure wash mine with a surface cleaner once a year and it...
