had to leave the thread in the middle of lusting after hukys, a lady from church called and told me her son had a stroke and was being life flighted to joplin,
ended up taking her and her husband up to be with him, some black ice on 69 in a couple places, got bad news Tim was in a coma and probably wont ever wake up, got home at 2:00 am
went to work at 4:30 am got home around 5:00 tonight its been a day..........
 
While I like having a larger shop, even with 2 wood stoves, I am only able to get the overall temperature to be around 25°F warmer than outside. I will have to make time to finish putting up the styrofoam board & covering it with OSB for the walls. Hope to be able to spray foam the ceiling this next summer.

Was blessed today.
- Went about an hour away to take down 2 trees hanging over a home with a slight lean towards the home. With the wind blowing fairly hard pushing the trees away from the home & using a couple of the wedges Cobey made, was able to tease the trees away from the house. I will still have to take the lift there to get a third tree which is ove the propane tanke & a shed, but the less time I have to spend dropping the trees, the better I like it.
- Went to split the wood & after about 15 minutes the splitter ran out of fuel. No problem, I keep fuel in the black box right, nope, this dope had forgot to load it up after having refilled it the other day. Fortunately I had a couple of partially filled 1 gallon cans of pre-mix so by filling the saws & combining the cans ended up with one empty to get fuel. Gas station was 5 miles away. I get there & blowing across the concrete towards me was an empty 2 gallon jug with a flexible spout that had been used for urea for a diesel air system. Must have blown out of a trash can. Dried it out & filled it up. What a blessing! 1 gallon of fuel in a 13 hp engine wouldn't have lasted long.
 
Mono has his spark back and pops on a prime.

Broke the pull rope and fixed that.Now to address the air/fuel supply issues.


You need to post an audio of it running. the short time I had it running I wished i had earplugs and muffs.:cry::cry::cry:
