The Home Improvement Thread

[Strat]

Cause if not, boy do i have a thread for you!

[wease]

Bammer said it best in the grilling thread: "I've put in enough time on the charcoal grill to earn the right to use gas." I find that to be a fair stance.

As long as you have some sort of reasoned approach when making a big purchase, you're okay in my book. It's the unthinking consumers that I'm really railing against here.

Well I know damn well I’ve mowed enough yards with a gas mower, push and rider, to earn the right to buy an electric now.

And like strat, I do dream of buying an electric car and having solar panels one day.

Also, an electric mower isn't "easier". It has the same moving parts as a gas mower, just no gas. If something breaks down on it, I'd venture to say it would be harder to repair than a gas mower.

Cord can also get in the way! what a pain!

Mine is cordless

One day I am going to PM you about how your recurring stereotypes of my upbringing as a Texan, and Texans in particular, are very narrow-minded.

PROVE ME WRONG COWBOY

How many times in his life do you think Reid has said “yee-haw”?

[Bammer]

I’m in awe of the foresight it took to put this thread in A&E and not GD.

My new warranty replacement battery and my 2 batteries I had ordered extra have all been delivered. And my new dual-port fast charger. Two of the batteries are already charged and I’m charging the third while we’re out running errands. Three batteries, three charging ports. It’ll be nice to get the yard mowed in one session again.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Yeah one battery does our whole yard

[wease]

It’s a half acre. The batteries are 40v 5Ah. I would get 2/3-3/4 of the yard done last year before the battery died and I’d have to wait 5-6 hours for the battery to charge so I could finish.

No longer.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Also, what model? My battery gets a full charge in 45 minutes

[wease]

Hart 40v 20in

Pretty sure all the gardening threads were lost in the purge so I will tell you here that we planted flowers this weekend, strawberries, peas, and bell pepper.

Have a leak in our pool and having a hard time finding it.

Yeah we’ve had professionals out twice already and I’ve been swimming around with dye trying to find it myself

[Monkey_Driven]

Just do what he says

Are you guys out of the freezing night temps already?

Dammit. No, we are not.
