RE: Living in Luxury Off the Grid - For We Who Hunger for Power! (The End)
Couple of things:
First thanks for the terrific finish to your power series. I'm guessing I'd like your Doug, he thinks like I do :) Though I'd have put the lift in my motor shop and figured out a way to wheel the generator in place. Seems I have some spare motorcycle wheels that would work for that project.
Second: I worked several years out of a shop that had Honda small motors on a ton of retail and rental equipment. We had a small equipment specialist, but when busy we all got our share. I developed a really strong like for Honda power. They got that right.
Third: You really handled that vote suckup really well. I'll remember your response for my next one. The best I can come up with is WHY?
Thanks for a really wonderful post. I enjoyed and appreciate it.
I liked this series too. It was a kind of cool review on all the stuff that I've started taking for granted. Doug is fun. He likes to do a little of everything. His dad was the same so Doug came by it honestly and yes, he has parts lying around too just waiting for the right project... except for the exact right tool. Almost every new project seems to need a new tool!
The little generator is amazing. Never needs repair, easy to start, and it doesn't need 3 people to move it. When the first one died we went and got another which we use when we need power tools in places that aren't wired. We're still in love.
Yeah, I did a quick check on the beggar. His comments were all "nice post" and "please vote for me". If that wasn't the case I wouldn't have downvoted. My answer is pretty generic too (I confess) - I can use it if it's a mistake or if the guy's a jerk. I have a reference sheet that I keep on my desktop where I keep html code that I like to use, posts that I want to remember, and notes like that which I can just copy and paste. It's really handy.
