Small Engine Shop Open For Business.

Unread postby Doug Frederick » Sat Apr 04, 2015 6:40 am

If you see any smoke coming from the Carpentry Shop, during the day, that's just me PMing gear for the coming season. Any requests from project managers for running compressors, chain saws, ect, and requests or advice from anyone, feel free to hit me at popeye8762@gmail.com

I can sharpen most stuff, too.

Don Bayer has hauled the racing trailer out of the swamp, and I have the power gear out of the utility shed down there. The Gator is running, and the backhoe should be running today. I hope to have everything ready for the first work session, to save time. Haven't gotten to Antonito yet, to check equipment there, but hope to next week.

That's really cool, Doug. Thank you.

And thanks for solving the mystery of the random smoke in the yard. I was talking to Rich the other day when he noticed it. Neither of us had any idea what the source was.

Doug,
Thanks for working on the equipment. I've sent you an email with info about gear that the tree crew uses.

As of today, all the Chama portable compressors and generators are up, with fresh fuel and plugs. Still have some servicing to do (air filters, ect), and still cannot access the storage reefer. But they all start and run.

Chain saws next.

Thanks, Rich!

Hope to have most everything running -before- work sessions.

Blower, weed eater, both pressure washers running, and started on the chainsaws (3).

Rider mower running, but needs work.

Considering voodoo, or possibly human sacrifice, to resuscitate the Loader.

Still can't access the storage reefer, but soon.

Got all the chain saws up and serviced w/plugs/filters, have plenty of mix oil and bar lube, all fresh in the (Chama) saws.

If any of you work session guys have an old beater chainsaw collecting dust in the back of the garage, consider donating it, in any condition.

It probably wouldn't hurt to have a few more small (16") saws.

Gonna try to get into the reefer tomorrow, to get any other power equipment.
