Alabama thread!

Can you direct me on how to put siding on my detached garage? It has Masonite on it now and it is falling off.

 

You fixin' to give the dog a haircut? lol

 

Its not hard just get the starter strip at the bottom level, put the corners on, trim out the doors, windows and the rest is just cut and snap into place. You will need to remove the Masonite if it is falling off.

 

They just don’t do it like the good old Transite anymore. That stuff will outlive will all, mostly because it’s pure asbestos but still.

 

Like absinthe or this:

@JBTacoma You remember this stuff?

 

I'm not buying a battery push mower, yard isn't quite that small. My neighbors probably wonder why the hell I have a kubota ZD though.

I've got a 20v blower as well works great for around the house cleaning garage and driveway/walkway.

Dewalt Chainsaws are great investment too if you're not making it a business cutting down trees, a 60v will cut anything and everything most have.

 

I can't say enough good things about my worx electric chainsaw. One of the best purchases I've made for cleaning up my jungle of a yard.

$90 Worx WG303.1 14.5 Amp 16" Electric Chainsaw

@TRD Tyler has convinced me to buy a battery powered chainsaw in the 2 times he has used his on the trails to save body damage.

 

I'd be heavily invested in extension cords lol.

I've used the 20v and 60v, for the money the 20v is probably the better buy, however with that 60v my brother has cleaned quite a few acres.

 

I already had a handful of cords, so I was good there, thankfully haven't cut any yet lol

 

i do have an electric plug in black and decker hedge trimmer and for what little money it was it is perfectly fine.

 

yeah that was my thoughts on this chainsaw. I got it on one of the prime days I think and it was like 60$, I've well gotten my money worth if it never worked again and I can buy 5 of them for the same I can a decent gas chainsaw. I've also had 0 problems out of it so far, whereas every gas chainsaw I've ever used has always always had some sort of an issue.

 

Exactly, I'm not a fan of extension cords on these type of tools I have touched the cord by accident with the trimmer, but i'll deal with it for what little i use it.

The hedge trimmer get's used for an hour or two once a year.

 

If you store your small gas engines with no gas in the tank and lines purged of fuel, you shouldn’t have any problems out of them. This is probably 90% of problems. Gas fouling up the carb and sludge building up in the bowl.

 

stabil and seafoam is about as far as i go.

on my non EFI dirt bikes I will kill the fuel to the carb and drive it about 5 mins to kill it.

 

I try and make an effort to run it empty on the last grass cut and trim of the season. Never had any problems this way. Just run it empty!

 

With electric stuff now a days putting out pretty much the same amount of power that gas stuff has with pretty good battery life, I just dont see the point in gas powered stuff or air tools. Hell they even got battery powered lawn mowers now that have gotten great reveiws that i have seen.

 

Some places around here use electric leaf blowers with backpack battery packs. They're only a little bit quieter than gas ones though. Nothing worse than waking up to leaf blowers all around the streets

 

Easy now. Don’t take shots at air tools, that’s just too far.
