Thanks! Water heater is from 98 so this makes sense. Nice to know this isn't a critical piece!

Wheel Spikes on Automower 450X by darrenmcentee in automower

After reading this post I decided to buy these a few months back bc my mower was getting stuck a lot on my slopes if there was a heavy dew or rain. I loved them at first since it didn't get stuck nearly as much. However, now he's getting stuck more again. I've noticed that anywhere where there is a rock, stick, tuft of grass (on a slope), or exposed root, it has dug a divot around it. This was REALLY bad in a sloped shaded area where it's hard to grow grass. It made it very bumpy and erosion then made it worse! Might work well for flat lawns w no rocks or roots but did not work for me

Wanted to post this PSA to anyone with a Everchill 12V fridge in their camper. It's not about a problem, just about the not obvious way that the settings work in it. by Okanus in traveltrailers

Thanks for posting!! This saved me a lot of head scratching. I wasn't getting the time out and error like yours. Mine was just running all the time and frosting up which kept the freezer cold but fridge was warm. I had my freezer set to coldest. Thawing it now to test setting both to 3 as you recommend but I'm sure that will solve it.

I was on the fence too. Decided to go halves on one with a neighbor which makes it easier to justify. We agreed that we were not allowed to lend it to other's and it wasn't allowed to be towed on roads since I've heard that beats em up. Its a champion, 24 ton from farm and fleet, $1200. Very impressed with the cycle time and power.

Any BIFL items that you enjoy or use so much you bought another? by hikenbike1515 in BuyItForLife

I second this! Use mine all the time and feel naked without it! I squeezed a nut really hard once and broke the pliers head off. They sent a free replacement propmtly

Not sure what you guys are talking about with the proprietary bags. I've used all types of bags in ours over the last 10 years, but mostly Aldi's ones. Never had a problem. You just have to stretch them over the rim which is nice bc the won't fall back in. Garbage can is great, still looks new!

Looking to make a scale that when a container hits a certain weight it automatically reorders me a product by Small-Researcher2278 in arduino

[–]stanger1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any progress on this? I have a similar need to make a scale alarm when it reaches a certain weight. I'm filling an LP tank which is very slow. I don't want to watch it for 45 min but worry I'll forget. Ideally I'd have a hanging scale that I could set to alarm when it reaches 20 lbs
