    Try not getting too close to O'hare when you are playing with that, at least wait until your tan fades.
    The way we build has a greater impact on our comfort, energy consumption and IAQ than any HVAC system we install.

    John,

    You just know that mayor Richard M. Daley is going to pass an ordinance on your potato gun.
    Aircraft Mechanical Accessories Technician. The Air Force changed the job title to Air Craft Environmental Systems Technician. But I've decided I'll always be a Mech Acc.

    I got some one like you living next door to me. Can you imagine two of us in the same neighborhood. Now all I need is Dice to move in on the other side and it will be all over. They will have to call in the National Guard.

    How many times can you fire that before the PVC gets brittle enough to explode, BTW? Just curious. Get back to us on that, OK?

    Word of advise.

    Doesn't take long before the thing explodes and sends fragments into you.

    Plumbers on a job I used to see all the time made a potato gun. If i remember right...3" Y with end cap.and reduced down to 2" pipe.

    They used acetylene.

    They also shot limes and apples.

    One put an apple through the 3/4 plywood on a new house !

    Came in not too long after with stitches.

    'nuff said.
