    Finally got the last big piece for my shop.

    Got a bit more work done on the hoist install. Started jack hammering and noticed the concrete was not the best, its good for about 4 ½ inches maybe 5" and below it is starting to weaken. So now I have to pour 2 footings. Kind of sucks but it happens. Had to stop for the day, my jackhammer was...

    Is your grease tray in the bottom? It should direct everything to the little bowl underneath. Corey

    15 year old Generac not running...replace?

    I definitely hear that. I guess the cost of the new unit will help point you towards a decision. Hopefully its no too crazy a cost.🤞 Corey

    15 year old Generac not running...replace?

    Unfortunately one late oil change that lets the oil darken will cause subsequent oil changes to come out "dark" at least for a while. Changing it more frequently will eventually wash the dark oil out. Dark oil is not a death sentence, its not great, but not 911 yet. Corey

    15 year old Generac not running...replace?

    There are a few things it could be, the pressure of the service main could have been increased over 15 years and the generator just didn't like it, the factory non adjustable reg could be failing and the new external one will be stepping the pressure down to a level the old one can handle. If...

    15 year old Generac not running...replace?

    Just put another regulator on it. I had to do that in my shop because the tube heater couldn't handle to pressure that the house required. Staging regulators in natural gas is common, you locally bring the pressure down at the engine so it only see's the 2 or 3 wc required. Corey

    15 year old Generac not running...replace?

    A basic leakdown test should also tell you if there is leakage past the rings and valve train, if things are sealed up pretty tight still and there are no obvious noises coming from the bottom end, then the engine is probably still in reasonable condition. It boils down to stop paying a service...

    15 year old Generac not running...replace?

    Its a basic engine, why are the service people having difficulty figuring it out? I don't mean to be a jerk, but its ignition, air, or fuel, that's pretty much it. You don't mention if its diesel, or gas. Corey

    Finally got the last big piece for my shop.

    Bit of an update on the hoist install, i can't grout the foot. I consulted a couple engineers i know through work, as well as a Sika Canada rep this past week, and to grout to maximum strenght i need a minimum of 1 inch thick. Well my floor is only out by ⅝" and would be a tapered pour, so a no...

    Little bit of pulled pork for the weekend.

    Pulled so nice, like butter. I found some buns at the food store in Onoway that were made by a local place ( i think it was a persons house) they were amazing. Didn't have time to make a side so just grabbed some potato salad. Made for a good supper. Thanks for looking. Corey
