That stair lift looks awkward to use and by the amount of groaning you were doing doesn’t seem any less strenuous than a regular two wheeler with a couple of guys. Good video thanks.

    sawzall blade and sparks flying = teeth deletion. try some carbide teeth blades, expensive but worth it. just beware bending them like you was doing will crack/shatter the teeth off or break the end off at saw. broken plenty of them over the years, but carbide teeth blades are pretty much all I buy now, no matter the blade size/shape.

Work perfect for all these years. Only 2 24v wires go inside the boiler to control the gas valve. Whereas these new shining boilers, with all the circuit boards, fancy electronics. I read when a circuit board fails, part itself is $700 bucks, and now you often have to wait for months to get the repair parts. Meaning no heat for the whole winter.

    Mike try reversing that Sawzall blade so the D handle of the saw is facing up when you cut. You can cut more flush against items and the battery will not get in the way because it's facing up now. This is helpfull cutting close to the ground and against items lower than what your cutting.
