. I have found you can extend the life of conventional gas water heaters by draining off the rust in the bottom once a year. I get 18 yrs of service out of a 6 year warranty unit. I could prob extend that quite a bit longer if I replaced the anode on a regular basis. But so far, I haven't...

. I have a B6100 w a B219 FEL. There is a pump mounted in front of the engine (off the crank I guess). It is rated for 500 lbs but actual may be less, IDK. It works fine for yard work, snow removal, and firewood. Only 1 function works at a time though (ie. no curl and lift simultaneously). I...

. Has anyone arc welded using 308 SS rods? I have some Blue Demon 308 I got from McMaster-Carr and have a very hard time getting the bead to look nice. It doesn't seem to wet out the base metal very well. And yes, I have tried turning up the heat. It ends up being lumpy and porous looking...

. I'm starting to think about replacing the T12 fixtures in my unheated garage. In the winter, only one or two light up. One or two barely glow, and the rest do nothing (except maybe cost me money!). It occasionally gets below 0 (F) here but single digits are common enough at night. Mostly...
