Hey everyone. We just got a doozy of a Nor'Easter here in NH - 15 inches of snow in 24 hrs! Lost power but got to run the new Ecoflow Delta Pro Ultra w/30kwh of batteries using a standard 240v transfer inlet, they did super well. I will be sharing a full video on this next week. Scroll through the pics. My original review: https://youtu.be/2K9mlryo8lI - Hope you are all safe this crazy time of year. Enjoy the pics, especially if you live in Florida 😂

Happy Spring everyone! If you watch my lawn care videos you know controlling weeds is so important if you want a great lawn. But what type of weeds do you have? You can't get rid of them if you don't know. To help I have created a free site, just match the picture of the most common weeds to yours and now you know. Try it: www.silvercymbal.com/weed-id - Works on phones or computers and NO signup, costs or email address needed. I know there are apps out there claiming to do this and they dont work well for weeds or worse Identify them wrong.

Hi everyone to all my fellow electric DIY'rs this is the outlet tester I have used in many of my videos. I bought it at Lowes for $29 and its awesome. Amazon has it right now for $9.67! amzn.to/3tuesry I am not sponsored by Fluke but I love this tool. Get it while you can. Great tool to check your outlet wiring, polarity & test GFCI too. BONUS feature it has a beeper, that can be turned off and on. Leave it ON then go down to your circuit panel and when you hear the bepper go off you know you switched off the right breaker. Amazing like thing. Fluke makes great stuff

Living rural comes with it's challenges but what you see here is my latest build to enhance it. Standing just over 4 feet tall, is fully self-contained & solar powered & what's inside will be something my family will use nearly every day while it hides on the edge of the forest. Can you guess what's inside? Stay tuned for my video this Sunday showing how this little shed has made a big impact for us and can help you at your own place big or small to solve a common problem

Hi everyone I am getting many comments right now about damage like this. As spring is flying by, temps are rising insect damage is beginning to our lawns. It easy to forget that more than 20 types of bugs will damage grass (not just grubs) If you are starting to see yellow spots or strange die off, insects are likely chewing on your roots killing the grass. This is especially true when you have woods around your lawn but even city lawns gets bugs too. I just applied Andersens Duocide. It's granular, super easy to apply & eliminates bugs above & below the surface. It controls grubs, sod web worm and even ticks & ants and 40 more. Some people don't care about the lawn, so why are you even reading this? 🤣 BUT if you want to keep your grass growing and protect it from bug damage I recommend this. amzn.to/3NaJfRB It's the best product I have ever used. I apply it at the end of the day, water it in, it dries & sets in overnight and it's safe for people and pets the next day. Follow the instructions but it works very well for me. Organic option: amzn.to/3Ce6cgq 100% organic for grubs but won't treat other pests. Many more outdoor videos coming shortly. Thank you - Chris

If you look really close there is a generator in these pictures! We have gotten almost 4 feet of snow in New Hampshire. This is insane! Power has been out since 5:30am & we are getting 2"+ of snow per hour. I am very glad I changed the oil in the generator a few weeks ago. I think we will be on it for at least 4 days. If you are experiencing any of this I hope you are OK for those of you in warm climates, enjoy it! More videos coming later this week and this weekend too. Take care - Chris
