Is that generator big enough to cover a house.

I'm guessing we can run most of it. 2500 sq ft. Gas range and two gas furnaces. Told them no AC, microwave, washer, dryer dishwasher, pool equipment.

Waiting on PGE to do the connection. They have a program because of the area my parents live they will provide a new meter socket and 220 connections to an authorized generator.

Once in I will test it all out.

It will run a 110 wire feed welder an air compressor and a grinder all at once with very little grunting. But you have to have a hell of an extension cord if you want to sleep while it’s running :laughing:

whatever I get It needs to fire a 5 ton AC.:flipoff2:

I already have a 3000W Honda Inverter that will run everything but the air

So it's definitely able to handle camper needs.

Next nOOB question would be how much propane does it go through?
 
In, screwing around a bit. I want to unthread a shock body but don’t have a good strap wrench. I do have a chain wrench though…so now I have a…custom… strap wrench lol

In. Another work week behind me.
Had a meeting with my boss / company VP - asked for some more $. To be see what shakes out as I am sort of leased out to a client, and handle their properties primarily.

After work I drove 2hrs south to Mayfield, UT to look at truck shell I am interested in.
Overall very good paint and condition save for the rear hatch (glass was replaced by lexan and struts are shot).
Now back home, picked up pizza on my way as well. R&R

was hot outside, didn't like it one bit

rearranged some **** in the yard

condensed the sludge in three of my oil settling totes into one, prolly an inch or two of nasty gloppy **** in the bottom of each of them, and I only get relatively clean oil from at work, and it's only been the first fill on all three
**** filtering, settling the **** out is the only way to go

shovelled a bunch of sand around in the basement, had three piles now have two, looking to get it down to one but might yet have too much for that
now I'm outta 3/4 stone down there, gotta figure out the order of operations I wanna take.
I'm thinking half the floor might need to go in before loading a bunch of stone down there for the winter...

In. Really beautiful in Virginia today. Great day hustling freight in LTL trucking. Went to several really nice properties in the country.

Got home, her appetite is slowly getting back. No nausea at all today. :smokin:

So I got her loaded in the car, took her for tacos, sopes, and pupusas. Yea I took pics of my food!

Now chilling, lots of tinkering planned for this weekend.

Which pic was the “food”?

Had a buddy come over Wednesday, helped me get the stringers for the new walk, run. Yesterday mom had a dentist apointment at 11 we were in the truck ready to go at 10 (40 mile drive) and of course it had dead batteries because some dummy left the GPS on since Monday (I use it as a heads up speedometer). My little booster fell flat on it's face would even click the starter on the 7.3, hooked up the battery charger kicked it to start 80 amps (?) nothing did it several times squirted to go juice in the aircleaner ( it has 330K miles on it) after 30 minutes of trying it final started! We got to the office 30 minutes late and had to wait another 20 minutes before we got in. Mom has lost so much weight her uppers don't fit anymore, spent an hour talking over options while the Dr did her best to get her's to fit better. We may have to have new ones made. Got up this morning determined to get the walk covered, it's 36 + - inches wide and I was cutting 8 foot 5/4 X 6 pressure treated lumber at first I was laying down 2 full lengths then using 2 of the shorts pieces for the third got the first 5 feet of 20 done and decided this looked like hammered dog ****, I didn't order enough 8s so I moved to 10 footers. I was going to make a 10 by 10 deck on the end that I could pull the car up to so mom wouldn't have to cross the gravel (whole reason for the walk) but now its going to be 8x10. When I quit it was 85*! Took a shower and took her to get her hair done, pick up the mail, and do some grocery shopping Tomorrow I have to get it all screwed down so I can start on the deck, it's going to be a nice place to sit in the shade and enjoy a cigar!

You go through Nephi canyon or by Yuba? If you went through Moroni you passed by my old house. :flipoff2:

Didn’t go through Moroni in either direction. Friends dad lived there for a few years as well - we loved going down there and throwing large parties on his land.

On my way there I took I15, and came off a little past Nephi - think 28 was the rest of the way towards Gunnison (Yuba Lake / State Park).

On my way back I went via Manti, Ephraim etc and cut at Fair View towards Hwy 6 - Spanish Fork - home.

Back in 2014 I was a road warrior testing AT&T network - spent a lot of time all over this area.

I'm thinking on my future overland/expedition/nomad rig installing a 100lb propane tank.

Said future rig would be diesel-powered, so I'm thinking of having diesel-fueled stove/heater.
Diesel fuel would give me many options powering my needs.
 
The problem I had with a Propane powered street/trail rig was finding places that would sell at motor fuel rate and not BBQ tank rates. Ended up towing a trailer when we went to Ouray witha 200 gallon tank on it, because the usual places you buy gas from not only charge road tax, but also sales tax on it. We would fill up in NM before we crossed the boarder

Interesting🤔

How would UHaul propane prices be vs other places?
What kind of place would be best to buy propane from?
