  1. Yes is does. That's how it is here in Florida, during the rainy season it rains non stop all day everyday. You have to try and work somehow or else you will get backed up
  2. I've seen similar set ups where you wash your hands hitting your knuckles on the sink because the faucet is so short Nice, I saw the oldest GE water heater I've ever seen the other day I think it was maybe from the 70's, I took a picture of the tag but the picture is blurry I can;t read it. It was tan in color, that heater looks very small what size was it??
  3. Common sense isn't so common Only handy redneck's can answer this..lol
  4. Haha, What a bunch of dummies. That reminds me about one time troubleshooting a water heater that wasn't getting enough hot water. Who ever installed it had half the hot nipple blocked half way full with solder. It took me some time to find the problem Haha is your plumbing that bad..jk Yes it was, they built a second kitchen illegally in the house and this was the plumbing for it. I had to fix a bunch of violations on this house they rented part of the house as an efficiency. This part was an easy fix just rip it all out and put the p-trap back
  5. This is so awesome Congrats everyone!!!
  6. Take a look at this beauty. Somebody thought this was a good idea what a joke. They put a tee in too add a sink in the other room and put a tee on the cold water supply line also. Its a U trap!!!
  7. No, the manufacture date that's stamped on it was close enough to the install date since they made it just for me..lol
  8. 18'' that sounds awful, at least it hasn't snowed here in Miami since January 19,1977. It would have been cool to snow today on its 39 anniversary.lol The water table is so dang high here, most wells are only about 22 feet deep. In some place's you have to have a pump running non-stop when excavating. We have a pump shop here that rebuilds old Goulds pumps, I buy and sell them to people who can't afford a new one. I even put a used one in a family members house 3 years ago and its still going strong. I don't know what model it was but it was super old, its a jet pump for house water so it gets used heavily.
  9. Yes I would if I had the money for it, I spend a lot of time on the toilet when I'm home. I always bring the laptop with me..lol I spent $700 on a Kohler toilet 9 years ago, had to spend an extra hundred for a custom color She's been good to me, only clogged one time, changed the flapper and fill valve seal once. A good toilet makes life much more pleasurable. You can call me crazy I have been called worst
  10. Just like a fake apple you pick it up to eat it only to realize its plastic..lol I really couldn't tell that much because I don't own any red but I noticed the fuel gauge looked odd
  11. Wired up 3 hp Goulds sprinkler pump with Rain Bird timer and K-Rain pump start relay. I had to leave the whips long because they are going to build a pump house on the slab and move everything inside. I got it done in an hour, had to bring the tool bag back and forth to the truck because of the rain. An open tool bag style may have not been the best idea..lol Goulds pumps and Rain Bird timers are the best in the business as far as longevity. Don't save money buying cheaper products it will cost you more money in the long run. If you have any questions ask away.
  12. Those are both amazing impacts I wish I had both of them!!
  13. I don't want to know what the carburetor looks like.lol
  14. That sucks someone stole my moms credit cards and spent $2000 at the apple store and spent hundreds more at other stores. They had an awesome Christmas
  15. That's awesome you get 500 back, unfortunately for me there is no rebates in my area. All front load washers are junk regardless of manufacture, a lot leak from the door or a hose breaks inside. Its a bad design to have the tub suspended horizontally all the weight from the water and clothes puts a lot of stress on all the parts. Only the heavy duty ones at laundry mats hold up, but parts have to be changed regularly. Nowadays you have a lot of High Efficiency top load washers available to pick from
  16. Yea I'm not a fan of any Ge product, the ones I installed was because the customer's bought it themselves. I have replaced a ton of Ge electric and gas water heater's do to tank leaks. There electrical panels are the worst all they do is burn up and tons of faulty breakers. Can't complain to much because I make a living fixing there stuff
  17. Haha, I use to install those Ge Geosprings back in the day, I think Lowes has a special on them right now.
  18. A lot of people have well water here and it is nasty if you don't have a chlorinator or water softener.
  19. Yes it does no freezing here, we are not required to have an expansion tank but most manufactures recommend one. But lets be honest if we did everything a manufacturer said we would all be broke changing car parts every week..lol I have city water and this water heater has on a water softener for most of its life that's why I believe it lasted so long. But all the old heater's last, I change out some gas one's from the 60's and 70's all the time they finally start to leak. You are very lucky to get 10 years out of a heater nowadays, the water here is bad too, most tank's leak soon after the 6 year warranty. This one picked a bad time to start leaky but a lot of my customers have the same problem, everything breaks during the holidays. Thanks Jason!! Some old neighborhood's here have natural gas water heaters and appliances, but everywhere else is electric. I guess its because we don't need heat in Florida to heat the house so that's why its not popular
  20. Thanks man!! You could do this yourself with no problem just read all the instructions if you never done a water heater before.
  21. Thanks Jimbo!! Thanks Comp! You are talking about a Geothermal heat pump, this unit provides just a 1/2 ton of cooling.
  22. Thanks man I tried, I wish we had basements in Florida I would be in heaven with all that extra room. We have to use the garage for storage, utility room, park a car, laundry room, its crazy. Most people don't park cars in the garage they fill it up with stuff and than when you open the garage door stuff falls out..lol It has been some time since I installed one, the only reason I went with this unit was to save on electricity every thing else was a bonus. My only option was electric and electric tankless suck they are not worth the effort. I haven't noticed it yet because the garage door gets opened all the time plus the weather is in the mid 70s lately so its not as hot as it was. This does provide a 1/2 ton of cooling capacity and when it is running it does push out a lot of cold air. The fan blows right on the washing machine and when you touch the metal on the washing machine it is ice cold. But the unit only comes on like three times a day to maintain temperature and when some one takes a shower. It really depends on run time for more cooling.
  23. Late Post. I spent my New Years Eve and some of New Years day installing my own water heater. The old Bradford White let me down again after 24 years the tank started to leak, I changed every part in it over the years. I bought the only 50 gallon hybrid water heater available in my county the next one was hours away. Good thing I noticed it was dented before I left the supply house so they gave me a discount. I had to make a swing joint to make the hot water line work, a little ugly but that was the only way to get the angles. Every thing was a tight fit because the washer machine is right next to it, I managed to squeeze in the condensate drain line using the old relief line. I know I don't have proper clearance around the heater don't beat me up to bad, the cold water line is about a quarter inch from hitting the side of the washer machine. I started late on New Years Eve and gave up at 9:30 at night. Isn't it a work of art
  24. That's awesome!! I'm glad a lot of forum members won something
