I know what I'm making next!

Curious how I'm going to do the mirror ring though...

Re: A new toy for someone

Maybe the same engineers will be working on this:

The present heat wave will need powerful solutions for this, and designing them will separate the men from the boys.

Re: PSI not registering on Digital Gauge on Suction Side.

The OP still hasn't answered Is He / She licensed to gauge up?

Does the 5th amendment apply to EPA test applicants? And do you know if the OP is a he or a she? You are making assumptions that non binary individuals can't pass the test! Be careful in this new age of all acceptance of all persons of all persuasions

You could end up here:

@GGross You were the first to guess the correct answer. I can't believe you guys picked that up so quickly. I must be naive. I never thought someone would do that.

Haha, we should earn our cynics badge! With honors for @GGross.

Re: Boiler Emergency Off Switch Removal

Not sure what code is for height from the floor the emergency switch should be, but at the top of the stairs, it should be considerably higher than the light switch. It should definitely have a RED plate. BLUE for gas.

I've had numerous calls over the years for this, even when you ask over the phone if someone mistakenly shut the switch off. "Yeah yeah, it's on. Whaddaya think I am, an idiot?"
"No, sir. That'll be $$$. Should I charge the card on file?"

Carrying the laundry basket down seems to be a popular one. Raise up the basket to see the first step, bring the basket back down and whoops.

How hard would it be to wire in a door switch? Open the door and no need to fumble for switches.

Than they leave the door open and NO HEAT!

For the stairway light, silly, not the boiler.

Re: indirect with small footprint but high output?

indirect with small footprint but high output?

I think I found the culprit. Still waiting for footprint cast molds to come back from the forensics lab.

Re: Follow-up question from the Wall Street Journal reporter

I'm going through a thing as we speak. I've been forced in to learning AC because of incompetence and being brutalized by local AC companies that charge exorbitant rates and never really fix anything...its an act... a dog and pony show...hoping you'll fold after 4 hours and go for the complete new system. My family Dr's (RIP) 86 yr old widow has no AC for 5 days..They've called close to a dozen AC
companies and solo guys.. One had the decency and professionalism to call a day later to say he's two weeks out. Another guy who I got thru another fellow contractor
Did come out, but now is MIA.for last 2 days..no texts no calls..Embarrassing..Ill never recd them again!! text the folks..".Sorry not interested." Professional & polite. Be a Mensch for Christs's Sake! Not good out there...Professional Courtesy & Integrity is sorely lacking! A Rare Breed...Mad Dog 🐕

If a 30 year veteran plumbing contractor can't find a reliable contractor in a related trade, what hope does the average homeowner have? And yet, still there are bad feelings about DIY even on this forum. It's tough out there. I'd rather screw something up myself...at least my rates are reasonable!
