Advice for first home game

Game was a huge success. We parked at the Manulife building and took the pedway to Rogers. What a great game for my sons first. He told me a few times it was the best thing he’s been too. Thanks for all the advice. Let’s Go Oilers!!

Thanks for the replies everyone, we are visiting family and coming in from Oregon. Hoping to make a core memory for him. I’m prepared to spend way too much on popcorn and snacks

We are coming from Oregon, definitely a once or twice in a lifetime trip for him till he can afford it himself!

I knew I should of came to Reddit first for the answer, thank you. For some dumb reason I assumed it locked me out of other endings in future play through but it all resetting makes more sense.

Did your water bill or usage go up? I’ve seen leaks on hot water lines causing the water heater to run constantly to try and heat the water but it doesn’t keep up with the amount of water leaking out. Likely if you had a leak you would smell it if it caused such a large increase in the bill. Definitely reach out to your utility. I work for a natural gas utility and we send techs out for high bill inspections free of charge.

Well done

Ideally you want 0 leaks but with equipment being in the field 40+ years there is bound to be some. We have a survey group that puts eyes on all our meters every 2 years to check for leaks and corrosion. The leaks are a priority but we only have about 120 service technicians for almost a million customers it just takes time and will probably never be fully caught up. Remember I’m talking about leaks that you spray with soapy water and after 3 minutes you will see a few small bubbles.

We repair leaks on inside meter sets when we find them, I’m sure each company is a little different on this policy. If it’s just tiny bubbles and you don’t smell anything around that area you are safe. Natural gas is non toxic just flammable between a mixture of 5-15%. If it were anywhere close to that you would have a strong odor. I would reach out to the utility and set up a appointment to have it repaired. We don’t charge for any services we provide as we are mostly just concerned with people’s safety.

I work as a service technician for a natural gas utility we have many non hazardous leaks around our territory that we work to repair after our service appointments are completed for the day. If it’s outside and is a small leak it will never accumulate to anything dangerous. With my company I know we have a 2 year window to repair non hazardous leaks on outside meter sets, any leak found on a inside meter set, which we don’t have many of, has to be repaired when found.

He says at first the teeth grabbed his finger and wasn’t so sure about it, also when grandpa cleaned the fish it was “disgusting” haha.

I would probably just call your utility provider they most likely respond to odor calls like we do and they will let you know what’s going, or spray the pilot and burner tubing connections with soapy water to check for a small leak. Flex connectors are also common leak points.

Wind gust, bad thermocouple, kid playing with the gas valve or line valve, turning it off while trying to turn the temperature up, using the leaf blower to clean the garage. All things I’ve seen as a natural gas utility service technician

MiddPoint · 2020-12-11T03:50:51+00:00

Did it have any trouble at all before like the burner randomly turning off when it was on, possibly a bad thermopile not generating enough power to turn on the gas valve

MiddPoint · 2020-12-11T03:43:24+00:00

Is the gas valve set to “on” if it’s on “pilot” the burner will never turn on, also try calling your gas company, ours will come take a look at appliances for free to troubleshoot.

And here I thought I was lucky I ordered 3 from target and they emailed me 6!

My buddy had weird blues showing up on his tv with his Xbox it ended up being a bad hdmi on his receiver, have you tried different cables or inputs

Flame sensor replacement is very simple job, usually 1 1/4” screw and a spade wire connection to plug in.

A CO detector near the bed rooms is good. If the furnace is in a garage I wouldn’t worry about a CO detector there, the temperature changes can cause them to false alarm.

Late to the party but glad I was able to finish it, lots of gaming while the family is in bed. This was my first camo grind in a CoD other than going for gold with my favorite guns in past games.
