Use case:

Mainly jobsite use, building a new home and need something to run well pump and power tools for build. Potentially will use after build as backup for power loss, until we get standby installed.

Trying to decide between:

HF Predator 10k/8k gas, being 10k or under this is tax free in my state. With the 2 year warranty total comes to about $1200. Pro is they are in-stock locally so can grab or swap if anything breaks same day.

Next option:

Westinghouse 12.5k/9.5k dual fuel. Doesnt fall under the tax exemption since over 10k limit. With 4 year warranty it comes to about $1500. Only downside is not locally available, so takes a few days to get. Lower THD from what I've read not that it will be used a lot with sensitive electronics or at least not planned.

I'm leaning towards WH over Predator but not locally available is my biggest concern. Trying to limit down time on site if it was to break down.

Would you trust the WH to run throughout the build process without worries or would you opt for the Predator that can you swap out same day if something went wrong?

This may not be really REP but it could fall under it. I ran across a youtube channel that does longer format architectural videos. It's very much more story telling about the home, design choices, etc. These are 5-8 min long, not good for REP but I love the look and style. I feel like it could work on higher end or shoots involving designers, builders, etc. There could be a way to do a condensed version of this for REP but mainly thinking this is more of a longer format content. That we could also then clip down to 30 second reels for social stuff.

Now 90-95% of the shots are done on a slider, the remaining are exterior drone clips. I know there are cons to sliders, especially in REP (drops at the ends, bulky, etc.) especially when we have access to gimbals now. I used to shoot with sliders pre 2014, but like many moved to a gimbal. Gimbals are great for in and out, but sliders seem like they really can provide a cleaner movement at times. Consistent takes to shoot things mulitple times and getting timing right.

I have a client who does a lot of gut and remodel old historic homes. They love being on camera and honestly are great at it as well. Currently working they have 2 homes one 4k sq ft built in 1922 and one 1500 sq ft built in 1928 they are refinishing. I was considering shooting more of this longer format video for them.

With all that said would you just run and gun with a gimbal still, use something like topaz for additional stablization and speed adjustments for consistent movement? Or would you pick up a motorized slider like edelkrone or similar for shoots that might be higher end?

I switched my phone carriers and got a new phone. Did the data swap since I was just getting a new android phone. All my progress is gone and when I click cloud it brings nothing back.

I had my pick axe, chest slots, and auto clicker fully maxed out. I was around lvl 7 or so on the last open lvl, had every manager with most being maxed out, and all coin upgrades. I can't use my cashapp id as it says I can only have 1 device. The old phone has been formated and sent back, and support is well, haven't responded in several days.

I am almost thinking if I can't pull my data back to get were I was, I might just chalk up the 11 I paid as a loss and delete the game. It's not worth rebuilding all that time for .25c a day and I wont even get that for a while till I can rebuild if I want to take that time.

How is everyone coming up with their pricing for dusk photography? Double your standard rate? Standard rate plus a percentage increase (ie standard rate 200 plus 50% making it 300)

If its outside your typical service area to you also bump your travel fee since it'll make it even later?

For me it needs to make it worth being out past 9p with sunset at 830 this time of year. What is everyone else doing?

I was looking through a zillow listing (non-showcase), when you click on the the photos, then click again so it takes you into the slide show space, at the bottom there was a photographers logo and if you click it, it took you to their site.

Does anyone know how they got this? I checked even the showcase listings I've done and that doesn't show up. So wondering how this was done?

Older Ford tractor, have a tire leaking air and need to replace. I don't have any local shops that will come out to my field. I will need to lift the rear, remove tire and take to shop. My question is what is the safeest way to lift the rear? I don't have a concrete pad or anything to put the tractor on where it's located. Would a couple of 2x4's then a jack placed on that be suffice to get the wheel off and taken to the shot for a few hours to maybe a day?

My other option is to fill the tire long enough to get it on a trailer to take to shop.

Any one running any of these like the surface pro or the Asus PZ13? The tablet PC is very appealing but wanting to see if anyone has any hands on experience with them.

Trying to hold out and see what the pz14 brings to table, but the price feels like it'll be high. Heard not so great things on the pz13 for running editing programs. Considering a 14" laptop, my 16" I primarily use is too big for my camera bag and battery life is not the greatest any more.

I plan to make a 4'x8' walnut counter top. Plan is to use 8/4 lumber and face grain for the top to show off wider planks of the walnut. Depending on the width of the boards it could be as little as 2 boards and maybe as much as 8 boards joining.

Would you just joint them and go glue only or would you (if funds allow) pick up the festool domino to help with alignment and jointing?
