    Good luck to all the “deer hunters” out there……Caution lots of "gruesome carnage" pics...

    I once hit a deer and had to make an insurance claim for it. The adjuster did not believe that I hit a deer because I had washed the car and there was no readily visible evidence of blood or hair. He asked me if I had proof of the hit and I took him to my garage and showed him the deer carcass...

    What can cause air in home plumbing?

    I did a pressure test for 24 hours, with the well pump turned off, and there was no loss in pressure. I do not have any leaks in the whole system. Thanks for the suggestion though.

    What can cause air in home plumbing?

    Yes, but not a final yet. I reset the backwash timer on my whole house water filter to recharge every day instead of every 5 days. Since I set it for once per day, I have not had any air in the system. I don't know yet if that cures the problem or not because the air in the system has never been...

    Pellet Stove issue?

    You may want to shut it down and do a thorough cleaning of everything. Dust and debris will accumulate in the inner parts of the stove and cause issues. You may also want to lubricate every moving part to be sure that is works smoothly. Even so called sealed bearings need lubrication, no matter...

    Craigslist scammers responded to car for sale add.

    I bought my Model T from a guy in Oregon, more than 150 miles from me, from a CL ad. My brother bought a '67 Camaro from a party in CA, more than 2300 miles away from where he lives in WI. I once sold a Suzuki Samurai to a guy that lived more than 100 miles from me, on an ad that I placed on CL...

    What are they called

    Here is what I use. They work okay on my gravel drive but they worked much better on my neighbor's asphalt drive. Here is a link to them and a picture of one on my bucket right after I installed them...

    I'll get right on that after we get a dry day.

    What can cause air in home plumbing?

    That is great information. In that case, I don't have to fool with the well cap at all. Another thing that I noticed in the report when I read it again today is that I have 31 ft of water in the casing from the static level to the 82 ft level of well casing. That is a lot of water volume in a...

    What can cause air in home plumbing?

    I really don't know if there are any bubbles in the water before it enters the house because there is no way for me to check that. The plumbing for the house comes directly off from the well casing under the crawl space and up into the garage where the holding tank is. One thing that I am going...

    What can cause air in home plumbing?

    Except that I am talking about air burping out of the tap. This is an abnormal condition. Not like from a faucet aerator.

    What can cause air in home plumbing?

    I think the casing is 6", not 1'. I may be reading the report wrong but that is what I see. To be clear, the casing is 6" diameter and stands 1' above ground to the depth of 82'.

    while we're talking water...

    I am not sure that raising your submersible pump will stop you from drawing silt or whatever type of mud you have. I would think that the silt or mud would fill the void and you will still have the same problem. Also, I may be wrong but I would expect there to be some sort of screen at the...
