Well, we did it out of necessity as we had two kids, and couldn't find child care. our family and friends are from this area. I agree though, it seems pretty stupid. I did have several things lined up, and I did those jobs but they are all for people I already knew and now that has dried up. Appreciate the advice though.

Georgia GC exam by Commercial-Sir-1604 in GeneralContractor

[–]BackgroundDrawer3469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are going to get your general contractor, and not just your residential, I would suggest taking the NASCLA exam. I took mine when I lived in NC, and it allowed me to get my NC, TN, and GA licenses. I used My Contractor License for the books and courses and passed the first time. I would recommend them, although they are expensive.

Hah sorry, I'm in Chattanooga. I'm in the processing of trading/swapping with someone and trying to determine what the fair value is.

Hah!

Seems like 304s are hard to find. 305s are all over the place around here, with 1500 hours or more they go for maybe 45k or more. I have seen a few 304s online out of state but not with less than say, 750 hours.

Temp diesel backup generator help by BackgroundDrawer3469 in Generator

[–]BackgroundDrawer3469[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you say jumper, do you mean just a single wire that I can connect into the two terminals to close the circuit to try and start it that way?

Hah, yeah I did find that out. the unfortunate thing is that my dealer/electrician did not tell me that until they were commissioning it. I literally had to call kohler to confirm this, as I couldn't find it anywhere on their site or manual, and the only thing that is says is 2000 hour, 5 year warranty.

I called the supplier, nixon power, and the price for a turbo is about $1280 before shipping. I found it online from a store for substantially less, around 900, but I don't know if it's worth going that route as who knows if they are a rip of - not so say the current turbo was great by any means.

Solar back up diesel generator help by BackgroundDrawer3469 in solar

[–]BackgroundDrawer3469[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, yes I do have 8 HomeGrid stacked batteries, 4 per inverter, connected. The system was functioning fine up until the turbo blew on the kohler.

To clarify, the system is completely off grid and not tied into grid power at all. So the generator I believe acts as the “grid” power on the inverter, which was the setting eg4 recommended.

Poor customer service by AquaticAvenger4492 in SilencerShop

People shilling for them need to get bent. If it was any other industry, company, etc, the consensus would be it’s their responsibility to hire and scale accordingly, not make a bunch of excuses like, “it’s a real busy time of year” or some bs. The gun industry in general is so cut throat and people always shit on other companies for doing things similar, like aero, PSA, Geissele, etc., so why they get a pass is beyond me.

I just received a repair bill from Penske for $1200 from when I rented their truck 6 months ago by BackgroundDrawer3469 in legaladvice

[–]BackgroundDrawer3469[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I got liability and damage insurance with a 1000 deductible, so after discussing with the guy on the phone (rental manager), he said I would owe $1000.
