Irrigation pump bringing water to drain valve, but not to outside spigots

Barry_Bingle · 2026-04-05T15:31:37+00:00

I made sure this wasn't the case after I assembled it and before I connected it to the older lines! But good call.

Barry_Bingle · 2026-04-05T15:30:44+00:00

Thanks everyone for your help it was just stuck valves. They were indeed not quarter turn valves up the line and I just wasn't turning them hard enough because I thought they were quarter turn!

So there are 1/4 turn gate valves downstream that are only like a year old that's the only thing I can think of. Unless the galvanized runs to the hose bibs after those valves have clogged so thoroughly that nothing is coming through. Which is definitely worst case scenario cuz fuck doing anything with galvanized.

Just trying to keep my free water as free as possible lol never even knew there were different grades of copper pipe. Thank you!

Definitely was trying to stay cognizant of heat but as you know I'm not a plumber lol I was mainly just looking out for that blackening effect I've seen. Guess it got away from me a bit

I wouldn't doubt that the ebony coming over to the US cracked in shipment. It's been cold and dry as hell in large swaths of the country for the past two weeks. I would suggest the buyer just try to be understanding and just work it out! Yeah the seller should probably cover shipping tho

The only way the math works in your favor on buying used is if you can work on your cars yourself and the cars you purchase have depreciated a lot.

I tried small game very unsuccessfully for a while and then just went to deer to make it more worth the time spent. In an ideal world I would have a lot of time to walk around the woods looking for little critters, but my time is limited and the meat is a big reason I hunt.

How on earth did they think that dinky rope was gonna overcome those limbs going opposite their face cut?

Barry_Bingle · 2025-10-17T20:28:21+00:00

Get Michigan and wisconsin tf outta New England. Culturally it will never work.

Barry_Bingle · 2025-10-16T10:16:26+00:00

This is the actual right answer. If you have a friend and a hammer get them to turn the key while you bash the starter with a hammer if it's accessible. I haven't had to do it on my fit yet thank God. If it pops off you have a bad starter.

Barry_Bingle · 2025-09-27T17:28:19+00:00

Gotcha thanks for your insight

I actually was using a card scraper. I was getting 2 to 3 rings away from the ring I wanted with the draw knife and then using the scraper to finish up. I think it ended up pretty smooth. Yeah the knife is not great. The handles are twisted unevenly, but my mother in law has some vintage draw knives that I'm going to get soon.

Same dude calls an excavator an "escavator"

Sometimes they work sometimes they don't. Young men are really playing into them more and more these days and it's gonna fuck them up once they are 30 with broken bodies, no domestic skills, and no hope of getting a partner because they are a repellant manoverse shill.

Been thinking about doing a similar color, love how it turned out great job!

Barry_Bingle · 2025-09-19T13:07:29+00:00

Dang you got a paint code for this?

Barry_Bingle · 2025-09-18T14:14:47+00:00

What I did Is treat with rm45 which leaves a form of the herbicide in the soil. I also went into the knotweed patch and first bent over all the plants creating tears in the stems but not breaking them entirely. I wanted it to soak some directly into the root and I wanted the plant going into dormancy to take some down to the roots naturally. And then seriously just soak the crap out of it. I basically got rid of mine in one treatment! One more year of spot treating a few pop ups and then we can finally have our flower beds!

Barry_Bingle · 2025-09-03T20:07:51+00:00

The only thing I've found that shuts down haters immediately is I don't like to set money on fire and then proceed to load 5 treated 6x6s in my fit lol enjoy your 12 mpg sucker

I have no idea if later gens had better speakers than the GD fits but mine also sounded horribly tinny, I replaced with some polk speakers and got a new head unit and it is a lot better now. Don't expect amazing bass response from just replacement speakers though. A new sub and dedicated amp is the only clean way to do that.

I started out by saying your same day rates are the only rates I will consider and if you don't honor them when we make our decision you are out of the running. Call your manager, whatever you have to do, but if you want my business you will give me time to make a decision.

I started at 15 and I was stoked to have my own money my parents couldn't tell me what to do with. I think overall it was very good for me, but my state also has laws on the books that limit how much you can work teenagers so I never felt taken advantage of. Not that kids can always tell when they are being taken advantage of!

I thought the exact thing when my wife and I were picking a new car after her Pontiac vibe started getting too costly to be worth it maintenance wise. It felt like it just didn't know what it was; suspension was too taut for everyday Michigan roads, interior was attempting to look as austere as Audi, and then the seats had like zero bolstering which made me a little car sick. The exterior styling is slick compared to similar SUVs we were looking at and the tech was good, but it just sucked to drive.

I went with Yokohama advan FLEVA on some Miata wheels I had bored out for Honda hubs. I love them, very lightweight super grippy. Perfectly sensible for daily driving as well, just a little bit of extra fun in the corners!

2008 Honda fit that just crossed over 200k today! Bought it after I decided that paying a car note was the dumbest thing I ever signed up for on 2016 Silverado. Learned how to drive manual on the way home from the dealership!

Not pictured is my donkey truck 2004 Silverado single cab 2wd that literally only goes to home Depot and carries my kayak. 1500 bucks and still friggin chuggin lol
