    Installing new water heater

    I am not expecting the water inlet and outlet to be similar to existing gas water heater. The heat pump is on the top of the tank so it's in the way to have the inlet and outlet on top. Obviously the outlet needs to be on top or on side at the top. But no reason cold water inlet could not be...

    Installing new water heater

    Well the hybrid heater is about $3K. So $80 for a pan is not that bad.

    Installing new water heater

    I will use my MityVac through the threaded opening for the T&P valve. 80 gal x 8 lb/gallon is 640 lb. + 300 lb. So roughly 1000 lb filled.

    Installing new water heater

    My new hybrid water heater should be delivered in a few days. It will go in the garage. While I would like to put a pan under it before I install it, I have not figured out how to lift a 300 lb unit and put in a pan. Trying to slide it on would flatten it. Next question is the flex lines to...

    Morals and working with the public

    I had many decks of punch cards in my desk. And then the rubber bands started to dry out and break and the decks were a mess, jumbled together. And one day I could not find the card reader as it was gone. And they got rid of the impact printer that printer on green stripe that eventually...

    Morals and working with the public

    You have to do what feels right to you. That's important. I won't go into the details but I have a little guy in my head that tells me at appropriate times "you cannot lie about that" or "you cannot cheat the store on that return". Ordering a starter from Amazon is more likely to be a fake...

    Magnifying Headset

    I have one like that with several different lens sets you can pop in. I bought it to insert an RJ-45 connector on CAT6 cable. You need to get the 8 wires with color or color with white stripe in perfect order. I often use my phone camera for magnification. Usually I am up 20' on a ladder...

    Francis Scott Key Bridge (Baltimore) hit by Cargo Ship and Collapsed

    My Dad said engineers calculated with slide rules and then doubled. With calculators and computers no need for that.

    Francis Scott Key Bridge (Baltimore) hit by Cargo Ship and Collapsed

    It had 2 pilots aboard so knowledge of harbor was not a problem. People were on bridge fixing potholes and several fell in. Two rescued. Another bridge in MD was refitted with bridge pier protection to prevent this kind of accidents. But not this one. But it seems they were able to radio...

    Chain for lifting

    I needed to pull a very large tree tree that was hung up on another tree. Using an 8000 lb Ramsey winch attached to a huge tree as the base. And a snatch pulley. I looked at chain and cable and then realized that straps provided the best load rating. In the end I strained the winch and...
