just pull the guard off and you can solve that problem. Just remember to lay it upside down when you stop cutting lest it take off across the job site.

Apparently there’s a shortage of undocumented workers...down here no one rents a piece of equipment for a job that small. Just throw bodies and shovels at it. Much cheaper

Oh and not sure I have the photos but my hitch was hit hard enough to bend the ball flange upward about 3/4 inch. Toyota Tacoma with a ranch hand pipe bumper hauling a landscape trailer and he hit me in the hitch directly with the bumper.
Hard enough to fire the seat belt tensioners and give me a bit of a concussion when the headrest hit my head.

Lol. Gotta love hitches. In CT you’d have been at fault for having a hitch in the receiver without a trailer

Just because I’m too smart to jump out of a perfectly good aircraft doesn’t mean I don’t know how to fall. Feet together, arms in and collapse under tension as you meet the earth feet first (hopefully). Did it just a few months ago when my ladder rolled off the tree at about 12-13 feet in the air. Decided that I was going to the ground on my own terms and bailed off feet first.
Helped having Airborne relatives. And falling off stuff since I was about 8 years old.

So I probably shouldn’t mention the day I was standing on that little hip roof power washing the siding. The grip on metal roof is tenuous at best and when it gets wet it turns to owl snot. One moment I’m standing upright and the next I’m face down flat on my stomach slide towards the edge at a high rate of speed. Still amazed at the human mind and the speed of thought. In that millisecond I thought “point your toes, maybe you’ll catch the lip of the gutter and that will keep you from going over”
Fortunately it worked. Thus led to the improvised scaffolding which provides much greater purchase than friction on metal roof....

yeah Bobby, I'm old enough to know better but still to young to care. I figure at 17 ft I can survive the fall as I bounce off the metal roof and then the final 9 feet to the ground. It would take longer to rig up the harnesses and anchor points than to slap a ladder in the bucket and start painting.....

You sure it’s not the tune?
Timing can really accentuate the knock. Probably had to increase timing to accommodate the pulse width needed for the larger turbo
Sounds like you might need some 30 overs to complete the package??

Picked up the sewage lift station, check valve and high water alarm for the casita plumbing along with a shower rough in valve. Then swung by the metal supply and picked up a 36 inch man door, frame and a stick of 2x4 steel tube to install a man door in the shipping container Got the painting finished on the trim for the main house and went to framing the bathroom walls and pantry walls. Ready for the plumber to rough in and install the sewage lift station. Won’t be there next weekend but will probably schedule him out the week after. Then gotta just finish up the electrical before shifting my attention to the shipping container and install the studs and man door and get ready for spray insulation for the casita and the shipping container at the same time.

FIAT (Fix It Again Tony)......loved that car
Mopar from the 70s - can you trust anything that has a starter that sounds like that?
Fast and foreign....I had a british Triumph 955i Daytona. I'd been 187mph on that bike and had to rebuild the entire electrical system.....fast but not reliable.
My Mercedes CLS550 had 2 transmission rebuilds, 1 cylinder head, 4 sensors, 3 oil leaks, 3 air struts and 2 air suspension compressors, a evaporator core (that one cost $3000) in 75,000 miles.

Just for perspective. Think back to the early 1980s(those of you old enough to remember the 80s -#best decade ever)
Wonderful gm vehicles like the Pontiac Parisian (their version of the Caprice) with the 305. The mess of vacuum hoses and air injector reactor pumps and nonsense. If you made it to 100k you were flirting with disaster (obscure Molly Hatchet reference for the 80’s)

Anything Honda. Easily 200k plus with routine maintenance.
Had a 3 door 1986 civic and it had 286k on it when I just got tired of it.
Wife’s van. 13 years old. But it only has 109k on it.
Morale to the story on these new vehicles is forget the published maintenance schedule and maintain them like an older vehicle. These new maintenance schedules are to get you through 100k cheaply. Then the next 100k is expensive because of the lack of preventive maintenance

Thanks guys, Dave probably use a 2x6 treated top rail and some 2x2 rails and a 2x4 lower stringer. Not sure if I'm going to put railing around the porch yet or not. Wife thinks I should, I think if you are dumb enough to fall off a porch then you should sprain an ankle...
Still have a bit of sod to buy and lay down.
I ordered a sewage lift pump station(casita sits below the septic tank level) to move sewage up to the main system. Also ordered a Norritz 3.5gpm tankless water heater, a KBRS composite shower pan, shower drain and shower valve. Then I picked up a 30 inch door and pocket door system as I need to frame the bathroom walls out so I can mount the shower valve before the plumber comes in.
This weekend I have to finish painting the remaining trim on the main house and then will probably tackle the framing for the bathroom and the pocket door to get the shower drain and shower valve installed so I can get the plumber out soon.
Then I can move on to the man door in the shipping container and framing the inside of the container to be ready for the spray foam guy for the casita and the shipping container.

Casita is officially finished on the outside save for the threshold extension and the last deck board. Got almost all the house trim painted. Still have the area above the hip roof where I’ll have to make a platform to set a ladder on to get to the peak. Then the window and door on the rear porch. 86 today. Getting warmer.

I’m growing less patient and am going to start sub contracting.
Got a plumber coming Sunday to give me an estimate on the plumbing rough in.
Then I’ll finish the electrical and contract insulation and Sheetrock.
