    Ideas: dropped well pump

    Whenever running gas line one should use swings...2 elbows instead of one to give some flex to the system. If a hanger comes out cause of 100 lbs of clothes hanging on it the gas line it will pivot on the elbows instead of breaking off at the threads. Also don't tighten the fittings with all...

    New Dishwasher Time AGAIN

    I have had heating ducts, main waste lines and other not easily moved items in the way when installing rear feed dishwashers from front feed units. Front feed has been the standard for years.

    New Dishwasher Time AGAIN

    A water softner helps a lot on appliance longevity. A lot of dishwashers now have the electric and water supply in the back of the washer instead of behind the kickplate on the front. I install several dishwashers per year and sometimes the rear layout is not compatible with some homes.

    Unpleasant garage door repairs experience

    Well..having owned and operated a hvac-plumbing business for 40years I have many stories. The one that gets me is the tech at the parts counter who brags about what he found in the laundry basket and...well....uses it for his pleasure. The larger the company it seems the more they need to...

    More old trucks than old cars still on the road?

    Stupid?? One has better road awareness and better vision with a pickup truck than a car. When I don't know where I'm going..which is most of the time..I can see building and home address numbers a lot better. Business signage also is easier to spot. I only take the car if I'm lookin for economy...

    Boating Observations

    Just like I said in my post...I had the stern light. Most around here keep the bow light on when anchored for added visibility. The leos said thats fine. 100ft from shore is the no wake zone in this state.

    Boating Observations

    Yer funny... I figured all would get the sarcasm...once I saw our bow light was out minutes later I realized my bad. Although I was 30ft offshore where the speed limit is only fast enough to maintain steerage where he was on plane...but my light was out. When anchored only the stern light needs...

    Boating Observations

    Just so I can be informed...what restrictions are you worried about? Please be specific so I can be prepared. I live 30ft from water and have been boating for 60 years. I don't like rules either.
