thieves are opportunistic...leaving something like that unattended in the open? the ******* deserved to get it ripped off...Kobia2 » 30 Aug 2023, 2:59 pm » wrote: ↑ It's not too bad where I live,
but there's definitely areas where the need to buy a heavy duty chain & lock is considered part of purchasing a Generator ... It's also good practice not to leave the Gas cans outside with the Generator, as they also become targets for thieves... Some go as far as to remove the Wheels from them once you chain them in place, to make it more difficult to steal..
I remember some years ago during preparations for one of the Hurricanes, there was a clip on the local News of a couple scumbags who'd been arrested at a Home Depot not far from me... A customer had just bought & loaded a new Generator in the back of his truck --- he went back in to pick up another item, and by the time he got back outside he saw Cops slapping handcuffs them after watching them back their own truck up to the tailgate of his, and began sliding the Generator box into their own truck... Some **** balls there man.

LOL, they are indeed relentless in the quest of free food...DeezerShoove » 30 Aug 2023, 2:16 pm » wrote: ↑ I have a metal stand with sheperd's hooks to hang stuff (flowers, feeders, etc)
In winter I put out a suet block. Squirrels love those too.
After watching the fat bastards run off with half the block a few times, I started the war too.
How I won:
The 3/4" steel bar is about 6' tall. I tried a couple "squirrel proof" pieces of junk. No luck.
In my workshop I have odds and ends like any workshop. One piece was a 2' piece of 4" dryer duct.
I threaded that over the pole and suspended it just high enough that Mr Squirrel cannot reach the top edge.
They can jump but not straight up over 4'. They grab this loose pipe and slide down, trying to dig their toenails in.
btw
I had to put a mesh over the top opening because they would shimmy up inside the duct. Relentless.
Mesh on top so this would not act like a 2' deep trap.

OMG, don't get me going...it seems every year, the first snow, no matter how light, they forget how to drive causing mayhem for those that do know how to drive...I believe they're fueled by the sensationalist weather people...impartialobserver » 30 Aug 2023, 12:09 pm » wrote: ↑ Nothing compared to what you get in MN but when you average 7.2 inches of precip in a year and you receive 17.. it is big news. And if this upcoming winter is going to be another dose of that.. sign me up. I laugh to the point of hurting myself when people complain about driving in the snow here. yeah... you have to slow down but 4 to 6 inches of mostly wet snow is not that terrible.

my thinking is maybe it tripped, became unplugged or mebbe went bad? Is there a light on anywhere?sootedupCyndi » 30 Aug 2023, 12:04 pm » wrote: ↑ ok- I will run that by Bob! thanks.
why would the thing be outta oil- its brand new? I was thinking maybe the gas was a few months old.??? weird. who knows these days?
I just bought two new headlights for my car. They were old and all clouded over. Rather then sand them off all day. I thought new -would be better... HOOT- one broke- all chink crap- same headlights all over.
someone said the sensors are said to go.

Your temps, amount of snow, and wind blow us out of the water. I can see why folks have trouble. This year was weird but the average winter snow day here goes like this..... it snows 2 to 6 inches at night and by noon, it is mostly melted off as temps get up to 44 degrees and it is full sunshine.

no, the oil sensor on the generator...if it's tripped, the engine can't run...it's designed to save engine in case oil goes low...a protection interlock...sootedupCyndi » 30 Aug 2023, 8:13 pm » wrote: ↑ you mean power to the garage. think everything is ok.

Most spend the time preparing their homes and belongings, as well as helping their neighbours do the same.. There's also a lot of additional goodwill & assistance after the storms when folks lose power, and have experienced loss or damages to their residence...
Then there's the scammers, looters & predators..... The Looters know that Police, Fire Rescue and all other Emergency vehicles will not respond once sustained winds reach 35-40 Mph --- and this is when the Looters hit the roads and break into businesses and criminals cut loose to rampage ... There's also an enormous amount of fraud regarding insurance scams and such

I was going to say... I had those two stacks in the picture delivered for $100 each but I had to stack em, which was no biggie since it was dropped right beside where I stacked them.DeezerShoove » 30 Aug 2023, 2:23 pm » wrote: ↑ I wonder if that's even worth it at all.
Price per "heating calorie" compared to regular old conventional heating can't be good.
My guy is selling his seasoned oak, split, at $95/face delivered.
The restaurants he sells too pay $150 a row, but he stacks theirs for them, and rotates if necessary.
