    All I know is that when I first got a tractor the people on this site treated my like a long time member. Answered my stupid questions and helped with advice. Wouldn’t have been nearly as SAFE, handy nor prepared without the help. Now, it is my turn to help those I can…

    What to do with ‘yard’ waste?

    I used to do burn piles but since the entire state has burnt over the last few years they have cut back on that. Now you are severely limited in the size and you must stay there or you will be fined heavily. Got tired of that and got a dump trailer…they have a dump site that is very cheap...

    Are they all this STUPID?

    Out here it is over 800 bucks for moving 3 electrical outlets. I know the city manager and she looked into it. Over 200 of it was for city hall debt, about 100 was for retirement funds and then literally the rest was everything but the actual inspection costs…that was only about 120 bucks…

    Bad Welds?

    No penetration…not enough heat. Whoever did that did not weld anything…just ran some beads over the connection…hence the fail

    Bad Welds?

    Those “fix” welds have some porosity and likely weren’t done well. As noted, the prep is important and the amount of heat/material added and HOW it is added may need some addition thought. Did he preheat anything?

    What can cause air in home plumbing?

    The only other thing to consider is a cracked draw pipe. The hot water heater may be throwing you off as it may be getting water with air too…but isn’t as obvious as the cold water where the flow is more direct and less time to dissipate the air when heated and mixed with cold water. Just...

    What can cause air in home plumbing?

    Up at my parents place in the Napa Valley…they had great water and plentiful supply. Then the wineries came and started putting down big and deeper wells. Not too long after basically they lowered the entire valley water table and created inverted cones of drawdown around the big wells Which...

    Looking for “Black pipe dope” advice………...

    I have several reels… Note that all my hoses have Prevost safety fittings. They are great…and make connecting and disconnecting very easy. Look into those while you are at it.

    Stabil wins, hands down.

    ‘At least you can get ethanol free gas. All of our damn gas has ethanol and it plays hell with older engines and fuel lines. I have switched all my boat fuel lines to stuff that is designed to deal with ethanol. The on lake premium gas here is 7 plus bucks a gallon. The Malibu takes 50-60...
