$25 Generator From Lowes - The Final Outcome

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Conclusion of the Lowe's broken generator project. There were some surprises this time. Someone had bought this machine new, and then returned it to the store in a non-running state. It wasn't cost effective for the store to fix it so they decided to mark down the price and sell it as-is. That's where I stepped in.

    Jennie and you are priceless. I loved the banter. You don't know how lucky you are. My wife and I were soul mates and unfortunately, I lost her about 3 1/2 years ago to cancer. We were coming up to our 50th anniversary but only made it short of 49. Enjoy the time you have together, and make more videos, they are great. I did not know how much I would enjoy these three, but the interaction was terrific and brought tears to my eves. I hope you appreciate the wonderful situation you have. Don't let your camera girl ever get away. Good luck always. Jim . . .

    Maybe if you make $200 or more an hour. If the time you spend working without pay is worth money, then any time you work you are "printing" money. Your bank account stays the same. I never liked the argument "time is money" because it's only true, in my eyes, if you can spend that same time working at getting paid in bank notes.

    in English "vice" has two meanings, one is to squeeze something to hold it in place, and also means bad habits. My reply was to him saying they help him cope, as to cope means to be able to deal with stress and such. It also is the name of a saw for cutting things.

    XCOMBOY Often the price of extreme flexibility is an addition of complexity, but context is everything...just like "read" and "read" are each other's past and future tense (or present in the case of "reading" -- I am presently reading a book -- pronounced like "reeding") of one another. The future tense is pronounced just like "reed" (like the reed in a wind instrument -- I will read that book) and the past tense is pronounced "red" (like the color -- I read the book yesterday). A lot of English word play is built around quirks like these where either different words sound alike -- such as with "vise" and vice" -- or two identically spelled words have entirely different meanings.

It runs well but leaks gas. Was going to get rid of it because of the leak but maybe I should research how to fix it now? Main problem is that I don’t really need a power washer now, so I can’t justify spending time and money on it. But maybe I could learn a thing or two and sell it.

    For the lesson learned, is it more or less than taking the class in college; including travel? Every company that builds small products by hand should have a rebuild line in the same factory where they take everything apart, swap what's broken, put it back together, test, done. In the factory it should be a lot faster and cost less to whom it might cost to dispose of it if they pay for the factory rebuild instead.

    Bravo. Genius. This is the video of the year, the series of the Generac that is. The story, the outcome... it's all amazing. It's refreshing to see someone fixing or repairing instead of discarding and purchasing. As well as not being defeated by the availability of parts. The commentary and wit, from both parties, is amazing and makes the story complete. I am in awe that you were able to get this generator for a bit over $50 and a schosh of elbow grease. Top notch. Lastly, and certainly (in this mans opinion) most important, an excellent family man whom is inclusive of his family and not afraid to show it. Can't wait until the next video!
