Yeah, my little helper is making sure I did it right

I think voles typically eat vegetation like grass, roots or seeds. Perhaps the fragrance or taste of the soap encouraged them to move out and establish elsewhere. Just a guess. Thanks for watching

Appreciate it!

Probably not. I tried to vacuum leaves as you describe in this video: ua-cam.com/video/8tP0OxlOB4U/v-deo.html Once you get it mostly clean, this one shows how well it can do. ua-cam.com/video/fUf_GK1Y1Sk/v-deo.html I suspect though, a full blanket of leaves would fill the filter very quickly.

Yeah this one definitely still green. I've not had one burn the roots very well because of that. The saw removes material so much faster than the drill bit. I probably won't bother with the bit on the next one.

It did make a mess. Probably not idea for a freshly landscaped yard.

At this point, I'll assume they put that language in the manual to give themselves some wiggle room if they needed to reduce the inverter output in the future. I only use the onboard inverter for a small space heater my wife uses when the temperature dips below a chilly 70F. Other than that there is not much use for it.

I'd like to see if I can find a wiring diagram for the unit and just replace it with a real 400w unit. I'm not opposed to running a direct wire to the battery and using a relay if needed. I haven't looked at all, as I was just hoping this thing would work ok when I bought the truck last month. I'm actually surprised it runs any kind of heater.

It is a 250w personal heater but it is mostly a resistive load that inverters prefer. Things like motors and transformers are inductive loads that result in a lower max power that can be obtained from the inverter. Look up "power factor inductive loads" if you're interested in that type of info.

Not really, would like to have had a bigger nest but I've run out of them for some reason

The wife would have complained about how it looked every time she drove by it.

@@LivingCommonSense Happy wife, happy life,

Yeah, turns out a lot of things will kill wasps and its mainly figuring out how to minimize the collateral damage behind the nest. Some plastics can be damaged by break clean but is no problem on wood or metals. Just choose the best tool for the job

@brucewestergaard - The size and length of the cord will affect the output but only some voltage drop over long distance. First up, you say you have a 2-awg cord but probably meant 12 awg? Two awg is huge but 12 awg is plenty for a refer/compressor. I'd need more information to determine the issue like does the inverter trip out because overload or the engine bogs down too much with the compressor kicks off? Does the refer detect low voltage over the extension cord and shut down? Any other loads plugged into the inverter? Just some more info about the setup.

In a perfect world it would be.It needs a good pressure wash on the outside now.

Well that's an interesting implementation for charging a power station. I would not have thought of that. I guess it has a voltage regulator set at 48v and I assume the echoflow handles the charge rate based on charge level of the battery. I am surprised the power station didn't pull more than the inverter can produce. That a cool hack. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. I suppose they made it more difficult so folks would take it to the dealer

Just trying to use the equipment I already have on hand.

You're welcome!

Yes, as long as it's power requirements didn't exceed the capacity of the inverter or power source.

Yes, absolutely. I prefer plunge cuts with the chain saw over the drill bits. Still some people either don't have or want to use a chainsaw so drilling may be their only option.

Does the fence still clamp down firmly?

@@LivingCommonSense Yes, the fence still clamps down firmly but without side levers. You have to engage the clips manually. I have a video on my woodworking channel.

You have a nice setup there.

I used a drum on another. It works well but only drawback is it seems to use more wood

This is what you're looking for: ua-cam.com/video/oJzzN7hJrxA/v-deo.html

I pour the dawn in straight from the soap bottle and turn the soap setting on the wand to max…hit them with the most soap as possible. The soap is diluted as it is used and replaced with water but it still effective as long as you can see the slight tint of blue soap in the mixture. This is all done by the wand.

I was expecting this comment to come through eventually. I don’t know how much I could’ve sold the fat wood for but I’ll say the video of it pays pretty well too

The lighting is better for the camera during the day

Sounds like you may have at least hurt their feelings

Thanks for watching

Yeah, Dawn dish soap means a bad day for them

You are welcome. Glad it helped

I've never called them...I figured these forks were simple enough that it would be hard to mess them up,

You're welcome! They seem to like building around us all the time

They were cleaned out for sure!

Sounds like you have a workable plan to take care of those pests

The soap breaks down the waxy protective coating on the wasp's body, which causes the insect to suffocate. Wasps breathe through tiny openings on their body, and when these are coated with soapy water, they can no longer breathe.

You are welcome. I’m glad you were able to get rid of the pests and thank you for sharing

@@LivingCommonSense me too.

Oh, I used a car wash gun

It works for sure...be careful

Yeah, it seems lots of things kill them, some faster than others.

That they do!

Thank you!

It is my pleasure to help.

I'm going to try that myself...thanks for the tip!

Yeah, that's the one constant around here
