    Quincy model 308 destroyed

    To further discuss the "lockout tagout unplug" idea......think for a minute how things would have gone if he (or whoever) would have turned on the breaker while you were actually working on it....maybe with your hands cleaning the piston skirts? Instead of the broken pistons, we might be...

    Check Milsurp generators....MEP generators are big and will run circles around most other brands. I have a MEP003 1800 rpm 4cyl diesel.

    Are these relays equivalent?

    If the mower backfired and died, you might want to check the flywheel key....a sheared key could prevent spark. The backfire could also indicate the coil going bad.

    New House panel advice

    Depending on where you are...and reliability of the power company.....I would consider a disconnect/ generator interconnect so you can feed the entire panel. Now would be the easiest and cheapest time! ( don't have to buy the genny now, just make provisions for it feeding the panel and...

    Worth it to switch from heat pump to nat gas furnace for winter?

    What is your average low temp when it is cold? I have a dual-stage dual-fuel system. It uses a heat pump (two stage) down to about 38f, then will automatically change over to NG (two stage burners there too).

    10,000 watt generator. Honda or Northern Tool.

    If you are really needing ~10kw, have you considered a Milsurp MEP generator? I have a MEP003 rated at 10kw, 1800 rpm diesel. Not easily "portable" but can trailer it anywhere and built to run for weeks without stopping...and fairly easily repairable......and not expensive either.

    Corian table cracked. How do I fix it?

    Go to the corian website and search for repair people. We just had a countertop crack in our kitchen fixed. One time it is best to leave it to the professionals. They used a router to cut a V-notch along the crack. Then used one of the trivets we had ( also made of corian) to cut a matching...
