Started my deck, we haven't had rain in a month and the post hole digger completely kicked my butt.
So what did you do today?

Did some saw work at work today. I cut around 1000 feet of 42" HDPE pipe into 50 foot segments. I used my Rattler 288 with 28" bar. This stuff is hard and funky to cut.

Created a new clusterfuck.
Now I can valve out the electric hot water tank during a power outage and turn on the propane for tank less.
Also can do it if I have a lot of guests and can run the tank less into tank to prevent from cooling down the water in tank.
Also moved the booster pump off the wall so it won't send the vibrations up the 2x4s. Installed a mesh filter after the pump incase one grenades again and it won't mess up tank less heater.

Are you using dish soap for bar oil? That HDPE is rough on a chain from what I've experienced.

Interesting. Those tankless water heaters are pretty expensive from my understanding. Curious why you wouldn't run it full time to take full advantage of the higher efficiency? I do like the sound of a hybrid system for the ultimate in high capacity though.

Becuase I run off a propane tank not NG. So the cost of running it is a bit up there. Plus in the next few years I want to get solar panels and take the lighting load and electronics off the main power bill. So it would leave only the heavy load items on the grid. I.e. Heat pumps, oven, etc.
It came with the house when we bought it. Didn't have the tank filled yet so I went out and got a tank and installed it. I wasn't even sure if it worked. House set for 8 years on a foreclosure. I put 30 hours on a weekend rental excavator to mow the lawn.
Edit: plus the gas tank less heaters don't get as hot as the electric tank less or a water tank.
On this one max is 120. On the electric tank less heaters you can open them up and trick them into going hotter.

42" DR-17 is about 150 pounds per foot.
Still better than dealing with ductile iron or welded steel pipe...

Dropped a good size Sugar Maple today, 30" at the base. Double tied it to ensure it would fall the right way. Brought 8 saws, used 5 of them. Luckily, tried to bring 2 of each size, cause the one 660 hit some stuff, so I just started using another! Yard Trees!!!
Started at 9:00, was packing my stuff away by 12:30, included tying, dropping, bucking and limbing. The owners dragged the brush away and get the wood.

Haven't been on here much as I've been doing construction on a major refurb of a rental property. Trying to get it dried in before it rains. Rain, what's that? Haven't seen any for a long time. Everything is crispy. Our temps here in this part of Georgia have been stupid hot. I think it has been over 90 degrees for about 100 days in a row now. Fall is only a theory, just hot here.
Well, I've going to solve that problem, leaving for Africa Friday where it will be really hot so when I get back in later October, then the weather will feel better. And deer season will be open...

Enjoy your trip, what is the purpose?
We have had a few Fall days up here, even 2 or 3 in the 30s in the AM, then hot again. Sept was a dry month, but we got a little rain in the end, and predicted again tomorrow, followed by cooling. We will see.

Today i got ready to cut wood after the rain. Sun came out loaded up the truck got to bush. Went for little walk to find a tree to cut befor getting saws out and Started clouding up and raining again so just came home.
Then went out to shed to finish working on the pioneer 600. Got it cleaned and back togeather. Dried out the tank best i could from cleaning with vinagur. Put little gas in it and it runs but not real well. Only with choke on. Dumped out that gas and re cleaned fuel bowl and still really smelt like vinager. Gonna let the tank drynout till tomorrow with cap off and see how it runs tomorrow.
