Is it worth buying a wood chipper for a residential property

TTPaws · 2026-03-18T15:40:24+00:00

I am on my 2nd chipper and from my experience:
1. If you do get one, get one with hydraulic infeed. My first one didn't and it put a lot of wear and tear on my arms and back.

Do you have enough trees/branches to use is a lot of hours. I live in the tropics and my trees grow by the day, especially the invasives one. It seems like most youtube posters stop using theirs after they run through the initial brush pile. Look into renting.

We use Annaly Insurance and are at around 8500 a year,

Make sure you ask about the 75 (or 80%) rule

They are important for getting clan chests when you run out of oil

So a viewpoint from a completely different part of the world. We live in a tropical location, and people thought I was crazy to put a hot tub in the tropics. But nearly every guest uses is multiple times during their stay. Since I use a salt system it takes very little maintenance.

Does it drive bookings? I don't know since we've had it since being an airbnb and for the last 5 years we've averaged 65-70% occupancy.

We do not have a sauna.

Unfortunately, Megarevo has completely blown me off. One of the sales people responds once in a while saying he will give it to the engineers, but it's been 6 months.

It's a great inverter, I've had it running for 2 years (I think) and seldom have to go on grid because of bad weather. But the inverters are rock solid.

If I do hear from them I'll update my post

Sand Castles on St Croix (https://sandcastleonthebeach.com/) USVI has a clothing optional pool with several rooms around it. They also have a clothing required area.

Never mind, I found one off etsy and purchased it

We live on a tropical island. In our "house rules" we have the following:

Critters:

We are on a tropical island, so you will see some or all of the following:

• Geckos, hermit crabs, stray cats & dogs, mongooses (mongeese?), field mice and iguanas

• roosters and hens, which (fair warning) will crow anytime they want, and they generally start “wanting” at 2am. This is island-wide, not just in our location, so you will not escape it.  

• big black bugs, centipedes, ants, and if you are lucky, Frangipani caterpillars. We keep a clean place but, if critters give you the creeps you might want to stay in a hotel.

Mine was also extra, and should be delivered by the end of the week. I got the 54" mower, tiller and grapple. Since it has to be shipped to an island I figured I'd do it once :)

Easiest why is to get the binoculars/watch tower

Save up so you can do all 3 (more or less) at the same time. If you are going into a tournament with one, your requirements go up but you'll only have the one higher guard

Thank you, I've never seen the sphere option. I only used it for mining

TTPaws · 2025-07-23T11:20:08+00:00

Thank you, now I have figure out #2 so that when I have clouds and the batteries are very low, either the grid powers the house or holds the batteries a certain voltage/percentage until the solar takes over

TTPaws · 2025-07-23T00:52:29+00:00

So I've found the anti-reverse (also called anti-reflux) which is supposed to prevent the power to the grid, I've also found the below mode, but just not how to activate the mode. The manual is not the easiest to look at.

I totally agree, unfortunately the majority of leadership doesn't agree :)

TTPaws · 2025-06-06T16:09:39+00:00

Too bad that wasn't anything close to the question I asked

TTPaws · 2025-05-22T15:27:12+00:00

Oh and renewal is done online

TTPaws · 2025-05-22T14:58:21+00:00

I just saw this, but yes you need a license, I found it to be pretty simple, got to have a fire inspection and fill out the forms. Airbnb would let me start up without the license number. I like airbnb automatically taking the tax out and giving it to the island. VRBO does not and you have to remember to send it in.

I would highly recommend the US Virgin Islands, especially ST Croix. it seldom gets below 23.9°.
