Restoring An Old Generator - Bret & Becky
Restoring An Old Generator. Coleman Powermate 5000. This generator hadn't been started in about 7 years. It had been sitting outside in the weather all of that time.
The generator was free because someone didn't want it. It retailed for about $800.00 when it was new. Our investment was less than $100.00 dollars.

Making A Camper Boat - Bret and Becky
Переглядів 2,9 тис.5 років тому
Camper Boat. This is just a short video of a 17 foot, 1976 Glastron Boat that we turned into a camper boat. This boat was in pretty bad shape and it took us about 4 months to complete. The idea was to camp on the boat when it was warm out, or camp on the riverbank when it was cold when we would need a campfire. We wanted to go a little faster than a pontoon houseboat, but still be able to sleep...

How To Make Char Cloth For Fire Starting. This is just a short video to demonstrate a simple process where you can make Char Cloth so that you can start a fire easily with sparks. Char Cloth will smolder or even ignite using a Ferro rod. You can rub a very small amount of magnesium on your char cloth and it will usually burst into flames.

    Try comparing the Cavvy to a Kawi from the same generation like the KZ1300 dresser from the same decade. The plastics are the same quality. I know, I replaced the first Cavvy engine in the midwest that had porous cylinder heads with a # 3 engine from Brea the same decade. It was a Kawi and Suzuki dealer so I'm familiar with most of them. Unless you are paying 20,000 bucks or more ANY plastics from the last 15 years is CHEAPER and more flimsy than the '80's. Kind of like comparing the steel on a '57 Chevy to a Cadillac CTS from the current era. No comparison!

    I too acquired a JD LA145 tractor that had been neglected and abandoned. Took me a week or so to get it back to running. It had everything from a locked up starter, to a completely destroyed fuel system, flat tires, mouse nests, and a carpenter ant infestation. I ordered everything it needed, and it now looks and works like a new tractor. I work in nuclear power, and we had a motivational speaker come and tell us his story about his blindness. Short version, he had gone hunting quail with his son, and his son accidentally shot in his dad's direction when the quail took flight. Ths distance between the two of them was enough for the shot to not be fatal, but the bird shot shells imbedded in his eyes. Had he been wearing safety glasses, his eyes would have been protected. His statement in closing was that he and his son laughed about the other hunters they had seen on the drive to their location that had been decked out in the hi vis orange clothes, and hats and how ridiculous they looked. He also stated that he now lives in a world so dark, no one can even imagine it. It really hit home with me, as I have had some really close calls in my life with my eyes as well. I'm required to wear safety glasses at work, I have brought that habit home to implement whenever there's even a remote chance of an eye injury. I have a wife and family that depends on me in so many ways, I owe it to myself and to them to protect my eyesight no matter what any youtube video says.

    We lived in the Charlotte area for about 8 years in the very early 2000’s. While there, we took several trips along the Parkway. So beautiful! Absolutely the beauty of God’s handiwork! We went up on Mount Mitchell, Grandfather Mountain - my husband walked across the walking bridge but I wouldn’t dare! Ha! We truly love that area and would love to go back! But we moved back Texas to be near our daughters and families. I really enjoyed this! Takes me back!!! ❤️🙏🏻
