I was reading about an all green building in a magazine at work today. They were using a cooling tower to cool water at night then store it for cooling during the day. I didn’t have time to read the...

I had to shut down my swamp last weekend because of the LA fires. It was just passing through way to much smoke. I have the cheap straw pads and although they wash most of the desert dust and cool...

Oh, I thought this was the General Discussion forum. I guess you didn’t get the point. The point is not a step by step question on how to do it. I thought that was for another forum.
I’m not asking...

Actually my tools are safer left at the site then in my truck. It’s a very remote site with 8” filled concrete walls and a steel door. It also has 6’ high fence with barbed razor wire and cameras.

There has been a lot of that going on and I admit I’ve done it in the past, but it shouldn’t be that way. We are paid for a regular shift and should be paid OT if going outside our shift. I would...

Ok, I now know for sure that I need to give it up, I’m not following any of this. :LOL:

I’ve been tasked with a job of replacing a evaporator coil on a small split system at a site that’s a 6 hour round trip drive, which only gives me 2 hours and there is no overtime allowed. I was...

Hey guys, I see you’re having a lot of fun here and I don’t really want to interrupt, but I heard a bit of good news this weekend that I would like to share.
Awhile ago I reported that my...

We used to have the gas lines bonded and grounded, but found that we had to remove the connections because the small static current was causing electrolysis in the pipe fittings and causing leaks. ...

This sort of thing irritates me to no end. This one of those time where I think the officer should have been allowed to just shoot that scum dead without any trial or cost to the tax payers. It’s too...

Yes, you can. I buy stuff all time. :)

Dang, I wish I got a tool kit when I went to school. And a laptop too! Maybe a slide rule. ;)

I found an old movie camera. The owners said they never saw it before, but then the uncle came in. He quickly grabbed it out of my hands and ran out the door. I think he knew what it was.:)

All that for a $100! Well that is suspicious alright.

When my neighbor past away a while back, his wife put all his tools out with the garbage. All the men in the neighborhood quickly started...

It was just bad timing on my part and I realized that I overreacted. I was offended for a moment, but I’m over it. I was a little touchy because I just had an argument with my boss over this issue...

You are absolutely right! I’ll shut up.

I have 40 years in the trade under my belt and I’m a little offended by the whole credential idea. There are young kids in my shop that have all the credentials, but I would never ever call them a...

I just fixed a similar problem with the 56%. I was sent to an installation job that someone else started and quit. I had a little bit of go at it, but it worked. I also found a cutting torch set...

Dang twilli, you’re an financial educator too? :D

Sorry, I was just trying point out other aspects of running you own business. Like things that you don’t think of when you young and strong, I never got sick and medical benefits just where not on my...

Thanks, that was 20 years ago and life has been good since.

I had my own business for 10 years and finaly had to give it all up. I just wasn’t the business type and I only wanted to work 40 hrs a week with weekends off.

It’s also nice to have medical, I...

Sorry to hear your loss.

It’s weird how you can get attached to someone without realizing it. An older retired guy moved across the street from me and although we didn’t really do much together,...

I really don’t think I want to find out.:D

Many years ago a pit bull attacked this old ladies poodle. We were throwing water on it and hitting it with sticks. The old lady ran down the drive way and stuck her finger right up the pit bulls...
