Smart Phone, stuff everyone knows but me.
As we all favor. Though my horseless carriage doesn't eat and ____ when not working. Now that everybody has a high def video camera, why aren't there any flying saucers photos? -

Lawn mower (tractor) maintenance - Anybody else do this?
Me too, til adding another spring to the back of the recliner. -

Lawn mower (tractor) maintenance - Anybody else do this?
To heck with the deck underside, sounds like we need advice getting up. -

Opinions Solicited
Perhaps in a repetitive mass production setting to keep your hands free. A momentary switch wired in series with the original. -

Have I shortened my lawn tractor life?
Didn't factor the blade tip speed. Multiple pulleys was another confounder so I measured the rpm of a blade spindle pulley. There are three blades, each 16" diameter. Spindle running at 3800rpm X 16"/12 X 3.1416 = 15,917fpm. ANSI B71.1 limit is 18,000fpm for push mowers. I'm OK. PS I stopped... -

Will this work
A smarter solution is to run long hot water branch lines from closer to the water heater. Code dictates water main size but the branches can be small. One for the shower and one for the washing machine. 3/8" tubing holds 1/4 the water a 3/4" tubing holds so hot water comes 4 times faster. Less... -

Solar battery/maintainers
I'd move the batteries to where there's power or buy a long extension cord. Then any $10 wall wart maintainer will do. 50¢ electricity per year -

Shop heat
If you have natural gas available, like the OP, converting to propane would likely double your fuel cost. To the m16ty. If you just want radiant heat for a couple hours without heating the whole place, check out a cheap radiant kerosene heater. Kerosene is expensive but there's no smell after...
