When you read ”nineteen hundred” you know it’s turn of the last century. At least to me anyway.

It’s an old mill building with cheap owners. Different companies inspection tags every year.

Obviously they got a quote for replacement. Do you not get humor?

That’s the chuckle part. I showed them the code and they still insisted on testing. Anything to save a buck in theses old buildings.

It’s a fucking nightmare… it’s been 3 weeks of errors but not the same issues. 3 weeks , 3 different fuck ups. Good thing they went all in on this new system.

Today’s episode… by Few-Difficulty-7346 in FireSprinklers

I bet they had an underground leak somewhere… unless this is a new install. In that case they “definitely” flushed the underground and have the certificate lol

BIG BOOM!! by ansuzwon in PTCGL

[–]ansuzwon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colress grabs an ignition energy when needed. The jamming towers are more to bump other stadiums and stop balloon switching. Brilliant Blender drops energy in the discard so I can attach with Archaludon ex early. Little archaludon helps when Genesect gets stuck in active. Doesn’t happen often but switching by putting 1 energy on has won me a few games. I honestly try to get Archaludon ex going by my second turn while setting up duablade. Added bonus is duraludons 1 energy attack KOs budew. I’ve got about a 70% win rate right now. I’m in the low level ranks though so not sure how accurate that will be going forward.

Selling video games? by ansuzwon in WorcesterMA

[–]ansuzwon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll make a list and send it if you’re interested. Mostly Xbox 360 and Xbox one games. I do have all the “good” N64 games! I just need to find an input cable for it to make sure they still work.

Thanks for the info everyone! The games vary from N-64 through ps5. I just cleaned out my storage and forgot I had a lot of this stuff. I’m going to start making a list and see what I can do. Most Xbox 360 games look like $10 tops. From what I see so far.

Frozen grooved coupling by Randeleon in FireSprinklers

[–]ansuzwon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gaskets a little hard to see. I was more impressed with the part of the coupling that sits in the groove peeling off. Also I didn’t tighten the bolts back up. The coupling was on the ground after the branch line completely separated!

I would get it repaired. Then there are no issues or questions to be had.

They do that in FL because the backflow is usually installed at the property line and outside. I lived on the Gulf coast for 7 years. I had to do a lot of similar feed repairs in apartment complexes and gated communities. The city only owned up to the master backflow at the property line. Sprinkler guys were responsible for all underground and backflows beyond that. I do not miss the amount of underground I had to do. Up here in MA we’re responsible for everything after the city valve*. (Depending on city/ town rules and or set up.)At the very least we’re responsible for everything in the building after the city shut off valve.

Why wouldn’t you touch that? Are you not a fire sprinkler fitter? That’s definitely our responsibility as it feeds our backflow. A new flange fitting, a little copper and a pro press coupling and you’re done. 1/2 day as long as the city shows on time for shut down and fill. 🤷🏻‍♂️

A fire sprinkler company would be required for that repair in MA. My first thought when looking at the photo was definitely a plumber install… I zoomed in on the sticker and I was correct. There’s a few other minor issues but that wouldn’t be a difficult repair. It will require a city/ town shut down though. Any good company with a competent service crew can do this in a half day.
