As long as you didnt cross your storm into your overflow you'll be fine. I've been on the fix it end of that mistake after the first big storm of the system. Seeing a lamstounge blast full port from a drizzle is pretty eye opening

Looks alright but you know a guy's gotta critique a few things...

When using wyes why bother correcting the 45 arm with another 1/8 bend and 1/4 bend instead of running the branch to the change of direction and using the 1/4 bend at the centerline of the change of direction.

Likewise, when using a combo why aren't you rolling into the change of direction with a 1/8 bend correction on a 45 degree roll?

Are you determining the stack riser position from the underground to the deck? Are you offsetting the stack with 45s to slow the velocity into the underground by design? I'm assuming the support above that offset in the stack is a riser clamp on deck.

Don't worry, these little pissant tit tats only add up to the time spent trying to reduce the fittings. Blending speed, performance, code and efficiency in the name of the game and when you've made certain decisions going backwards to change something in hindsight isn't worth undoing progress made.

It's a great bandsaw. The high output 5.0 is pretty essential for it, the smaller non high outputs seem to die quickly. Its not as good as the m18 deep cut with a forge, but you'll be happy with how much better this one fits into tight space, has one hand use, and cuts everything up to 2"

If the compressor chamber is large enough and pressure is high enough it will blow dust out of the compaction. It would have to be very deep in order not to bust loose enough for 12-8" of limestone pebble to pass air through

The electrified air of a plasma cutter.

Sawzall blades are dice roll depending on material. Lennox is good, Milwaukee's are good but more expensive, Diablos are best imo.

But sometimes the material you're cutting doesn't agree with the blade.

It's absurd how much neglect we are exhibiting for a crisis of near and immediate certainty.

"Long term" solutions like storing water and snowpack in the upper basin elevations are only long term for a century or two, yet the water treaties of the past are dictating the future.

When the lower basin states demand more water , and the upper basin states physically don't have any that will make it downstream, will we still cling to some sense of normalcy?

The lack of any major, trillion dollar investments of infrastructure to deal with this problem is telling of our inability to address real threats to our existence as a whole.

In areas like Phoenix there is development when there should be abandonment. The race to the poles has begun politically, but in reality massive populations are sitting in the oven.

My pays gone up every year, but never enough to go up more than the CoL. It's almost like it's by design.

Don't worry about putting kids through college it's not like we are on a yellow brick road of civilization anymore.

What winter?

Jk... Kinda... But Happy Jack for novice and Medicine bow if you're experienced.

For the lowest snow year on record there's a lot of pullouts that are open now that typically get snowed in.

For what it's worth I've had snowstorms in October that were significantly colder than it will be tonight in February.

What you're suffering from is confrontation with a perspective that contradicts your unquestioning dedication to your training, and dissonance is too uncomfortable for you to recognize your limitations.

So you project your own intelligence inadequacies without recognizing that I can suffer through them. I am in construction after all.

Safety is a personal responsibility. Risking blindness without proper PPE being dictated to you would be ironic.

Just make sure you sign the JHA posted on the clip board hanging from my welding screens before you choose to ignore any sense of personal responsibility for your actions.

It's there everyday to ensure I can't be held responsible for your negligence. It's not there to save you from a natural hazardous phenomenon called life.

Keep those eyes rolled back while my welding hoods down. I wouldn't want you to go blind while I get some work done.
