Yea, I guess I should repost them but I don't remember which photos I put up the first time..lol

I'm not sure maybe a Watts. I should have posted this a few days ago but here's a gate stop I made out of power strut and fittings almost ten years ago. I thought I used galvanized bolts and washers I guess it rusts away.

Does anyone know were my pictures disappeared too. I'm I the only one not seeing them??

I hear you its like when you go to the grocery store to buy your favorite ice cream and there sold out :/

Not to impressed with the inside guys I didn't get any pictures but the fit and finish is a little on the cheap side. They have the same columns inside like the ones you see outside, I think there fiberglass you knock on them and its super hollow (huge echo). Everyone thought I was crazy for doing that but I needed to see what my taxes payed for..lol The floors and carpet are cheap looking and the outside white paint looks like it wasn't painted properly. The only thing I liked was the big chandeliers, I will probably test drive the plumbing later this week..lol I'm I messed up in the head or what??

Hey they put money in my pocket, so I hope they don't figure out an elephant is not a tool. But there's so many things you are suppose to take care of on a yearly basis if you actually did all those things it would be a full time job.

That's unfortunate Chris, these tool manufactures need to treat you better!!

Looks like an electronic failure, I think it inhaled to much sewer gas..lol I hate rotted cast toilet flanges, I would rather rip out 10 pvc flanges than to do one cast flange repair. Guess which one I do the most?? CAST!!!

I don't need a permit for that

I think it cost 31 million, so I hope it smells better..lol

Welcome to the crew!! Dude you sound like a blast!!

Welcome to City of Homestead's new City Hall!!! This is the brand new City Hall that's opening on Monday in my town. It is also the Building Department, all permit fees are going to be raised..lol I really don't care for the White House look much. The old building had unhealthy levels radon, mold and asbestos you can smell it as soon as you walk in the doors. I can get some pictures of the inside when I go there on Monday

Like others had mention it is very important to take apart the dryer and clean all the lint out. The easy way is to take off the panel the door is attached to so you can clean the bottom of the dryer base and motor area and blower as well. Also where the lint screen is there is a lint trap on the bottom that has to get clean out. The worst one I cleaned had 2 inchs of lint on the base of the dryer, and the lint trap and blower were packed. I filled up a 5 gallon bucket just from the dryer alone the vent was another 5 gallons

Haha, I have seen a few done in pvc. Its smells wonderful when the dryer is on not to mention the lint sticks to the inside of the pvc from static electricity.

That's the only way to go, if a rigid vent has a lot of turns it still collects lint. You should clean it once a year but there's a million things we are suppose to do yearly and it never gets done. That sucks, that plastic junk catches on fire just by looking at it.

Good job on the tape!!, I'm going to ask my plumbing inspector on Monday to see if it is code. I think we only do it to cover are ass and to prevent electrolysis. I think thats a Wilkins ZW1070XL Aqua-Gard Thermostatic mixing valve, which is the same one I install every now and than. The only place backflows are not installed here are in residential homes, mansions have them and anything commercial are required.

Way to Karl!! But you missed the tempering valve on the far right..lol It sure is an odd place to put one, just for one branch run.

I use a ton of Bulldog fused disconnects here from 200amps and up with the original fuses still working. I see a lot in the older homes in the Coral Gables area here, I like there little Bulldog mascot image they have on all there products.

Yea I see a ton of FPE panels they are nothing but problems, a lot of times the breakers wont trip when they are overloaded. The old man told me a story, back in the day working for an electrical union they had to demo stuff in a remodel. He said they put the live circuits under a piece of plywood with rubber on top and then jumped on it so the FPE breakers would trip. There was a lot of panels and you couldn't go shutting down random breakers in a working airport. It sounded like a real story to me he doesn't joke much, I don't know why they didn't use some type of tone generator or circuit tracer tool.

I'm sold!!

No problem, that's what were here for to help each other out!!

Customer bought a new dryer and there clothes still didn't dry. Found a hole in the wall and the 90 behind the dryer for some reason with flex shoved on. The wire screen is from the goose neck on the roof which was blocked solid. This is only a 14 foot run and it should be round pipe but a lot of drywall would have to be ripped out to change it. It was really bad towards the last few feet, tried my best to stick my phone in the goose neck on the roof to get a good pic. I put the 90 back together and the drywall piece was behind the dryer too so I tried to put that back. Clothes dry in no time now, I hope they can return the new dryer or sell it to someone. I think there's about 15,000 dryer fires a year so make sure you keep your vents clean!!

They have any fitting you can dream of you just have to have a ton of channel spring nuts, bolts and washers to install them. Electrical supply houses have the most fittings, here's 76 pages..lmao http://www.unistrutconstruction.com/pdfs/S05_fitting.pdf

Nevermind it looks like you just bent the steel over

I always use dope and tape on copper and brass, it will leak if you don't. Experienced plumbers know you have to use both. We use pipe wrap tape that's 10 mils thick, I really don't know if its code here but everyone uses it and so do I. If copper is touching metal or concrete it gets taped, it is a nightmare to get if off after a few years if you have to make a repair. One more question how is the strut attached to the angle steel are you using 45 degree strut brackets??
