    Picked up this box of goodness today for a friend. He didn’t even know he needed them until he saw them and the price.

    Let’s Talk Stihl Chainsaw Oil Recommendations and Ratios

    I know a few arborist who run AmsOil at 100:1. They are anal about their fuel and mixing as well as chain sharpening. They do not let anyone run their saws. The key is good fuel. The more ethanol the fast you get “phase separation” in the fuel. If you want to see phase separation, take your...

    Let’s Talk Stihl Chainsaw Oil Recommendations and Ratios

    Let’s Talk Stihl Chainsaw Oil Recommendations and Ratios

    Standalone Sheds

    The metal shed doesn’t have a floor so you would be pouring concrete or building a floor system out of treated lumber and putting decking on it. I’m not sure how tall you are but a 5’ 4” tall shed seems a bit short. I’m not sure you could hang a straight shaft line trimmer in a vertical...

    D’animal’s 1991 FJ 80

    Had the crappy tint removed and the rig cleaned and detailed. I’m surprised how the shine came back on everything but the roof and hood.
