Good news, bad news, good news...

Thats the good news.

The bad news is it's one of them internetters from Vermont selling the 3/4" potable water rated non barrier tubing.

The good news is they didn't paste the RPA's logo all over their add. I wonder if they've been chaste...or if they asked permission and were DENIED.

I hope it's the latter.

Did any one tell Popular Mechanics their collective fly is open?

Mark: I'll have to find that article. I would love to see what they said and if the editors know it "tain't necessarily so."?

That's the kind of press that just absolutely kills us, if I understood what you said about radiant application using non-barrier tubing.

Actually Tom...

it wasn't an article, just a full page add. I'm sure that Hearst Magazines could give a hoot about validity as long as the check clears. Look in the back of the magazine for "valid advertising". Build this hover craft using items from your garage!! Yeah, right, now what am I going to mow the lawn with?!?

BTW, Thanks for the floppy disc with the symbols. I tried opening it with Visio, and Visio doesn't recogize the format, and now it shows as a Visio file. Got any suggestions?

Here's some Siggy Symbols for anyone who cares to use them with their Paint program.

The file on the diskette

Mark:

The file on the disk is a collective group of .DWG files known as a .SLB. The reason Visio won't open it is it doesn't know what an .SLB file is. AutoCad does, but you have to add it to the AutoCad symbol library manually in your "Windows Explorer" or whatever works in your particular operating sysem. If you want me to talk you through the load up, give me a call.

The symbols aren't as pretty as Siggy's, but then again, I'm just a lowly designer and not a P.E. P.E.'s have to have the fancy symbols so they can justify the fancy fees they charge! (sticking my tongue out at Siggy, with all the respect in the world!)

I'll have to get an ACAD program in order to open it.
