So I'm going to sheave down the existing fan, hook up a sensor in the hood, and sell them a smaller makeup air unit. Except I still need the bigger crane to get the old one down.

I drank two pots of coffee by myself, and now I have heart palpitations.

I have no idea why I'm up at 5:00 Sunday morning.

Maybe I'll make some coffee.

Roy once told me a lie so big that it made both my ears swell up to the size of dinner plates. People came from miles around to see me fan myself with them. I got strained neck muscles just from...

Sounds like you might want to get a different guy out to look at the pressure tank.

If you've recently installed any new appliances with solenoid valves, you might need a shock arrestor at that...

There should either be a bypass (service) valve or a pressure relief at the pump discharge that goes back to the suction. If it's a bypass, it should be closed.


Domestic water is not a closed...

I could go for a big plate of nachos.

Can someone direct me to the "who's drinking tonight?" thread?

Question #1 - are you sure that it empties into the yard? lots of them are hooked up to sewers. Sometimes the connection is out in the yard, so the inspector won't see it.

If you're looking for a...

This is a little disturbing, but not completely unexpected.. I guess it was the next logical step following "on-star".

Take a block of wood, drill a hole a tiny bit bigger than each wire gauge, and screw a utility knife blade right above it so that it slits the jacket as you pull it through.

A sheave has grooves. A pulley doesn't.

Sheaves are used with v-belts.

Pulleys are used with flat belts.

Other than puking about 5 times in my front yard, I was fine.

Usually I just make all the fittings 54" long.

I've got to fiddle with a few of them.. My part is usually just welding the fuel lines, and hooking up the remote radiators and exhaust piping. The 3512 is #$%^&* awesome when they fire it up the...

Go down to your local thrift store. Buy an elecric oven. Rip the elements and the thermostat out of that, and put them in your box. Spend the rest on beer.

You guys are nuts. Why would I go wait in line and fight a bunch of people, when I can get the same price at Amazon or some other site? They've got free shipping, no tax, and I can sit on the couch...

I want some free samples!

We really seem to have a lot of elbow and shoulder problems in these trades. There are 3 or 4 guys at my shop who've had surgery and slings just in the last couple years.

I've had 3 shots in one...

I'm thinking about getting one of these for a daily driver.

You should have taken the last two back to the store, told them the case was defective, and demanded a replacement. :D

John Philip Souza? Didn't he write a bunch of marching-band music?

Oh. One more. When I first moved to this house and got my new #, I used to get a call from the manager of Hollywood Video every...

Heh. I've got a couple stories for this one.

One of our old numbers apparently belonged to Terminix at one time. People would call and start telling us about all their different bugs.. :rolleyes:...

I was wondering where he went.. I'm still waiting on a reply to a pm from Wednesday.

Happy birthday, 4D.

Do not #$%^&*! with your gas piping. Call a professional.

Flip ahead to the chapter where they talk about "specific heat", and it'll start to make sense.

If you add heat to something, it'll raise the temperature (obviously). You can calculate the...

This is why you see all those valves with no handles.

It's because I took them off.

Did I tell you the one about the cooling tower landing on the guy's car?

It'll probably have a little less pressure drop with the vanes, but they're not required.

Why don't you install a full radius elbow instead? They perform better, and they're easier to fab than a...

Done.

I forwarded this to the mrs (her dad had several strokes), and she added:

The sprinkler guy is really mad at me. I bet he left 15 messages in two days.

It's not my fault, either. I told him what was going to happen.

Heh. There used to be an old doctor (neurosurgeon) in town who drove a really crappy looking Sanford & Son pickup.

On the door, he had painted "Dr Lyle Wacaser - Brain Surgery and Light Hauling".

Is this some kind of Dutch leprechaun?

I told you guys that pvc air lines were dangerous. You should rip all that out and replace it with copper.

8 bar = 115 psi, for us Americans.

It looks fine from here.
