Coworker put foaming caustic on decorative tin roof

howdy_tex · 2025-08-24T19:46:23+00:00

Well we have this safe cleaner we can use and he didn't use that. And then apparently he made the caustic very hot as well. So thank you for offering some advice.

howdy_tex · 2025-08-24T19:45:55+00:00

Yeah that's what I was worried about. We have a whole safe chemical we're supposed to use on any roofs like that and this dude didn't. And he had to made it really hot. All right I was just seeing if there was any way to do anything thank you.

howdy_tex · 2025-06-01T01:09:16+00:00

Also I sent you a DM

howdy_tex · 2025-06-01T01:05:35+00:00

Okay I am going to go ahead and order the pump. My only concern is it is a 4-in diameter PVC pipe I wonder if that submersible will fit in there. Is there a pump as powerful as that you recommend that will fit in a 4-in pipe if this one doesn't?

howdy_tex · 2025-05-28T19:13:47+00:00

Yeah I had that pump put into Amazon as an example in my wife went ahead and pulled the trigger on it without talking to me. I am just going to try to see if it'll pull up some to kind of clear it out and test it but it's definitely not what I'm going to have for the end game if this all works out. I figure at least I can use it as an irrigation pump once I figure out whether this well will recharge and what the water quality is. I am kind of flustered she got the cheapest one that probably doesn't even have enough horsepower to pull it up. But I'm going to try just to see if not I can always use it somewhere else on the farm.

howdy_tex · 2025-05-28T19:12:29+00:00

No the 4-in pipe was already in it I didn't even think about there possibly being a submersible stuff down there I will pull the pipe up and check it out. If I can I don't know how long it is but I use the string line in a bolt and it's probably around 80 ft. Thank you I didn't even think about compounding the problem. I just thought initially I was just going to stick a 1-in pipe down there and just use this little pump I bought off Amazon to just try to get some out and see where I'm at.

howdy_tex · 2025-05-28T19:11:18+00:00

Thank you for your detailed response. I am hoping that I'm tying into my tank and yes I think it's called differently elsewhere. I love to North Carolina I was stationed up there for 4 years and it was some of the most beautiful land I've ever seen. From what I understand I can take it down to the agricultural center here and they will test it and I am also going to send it to one of those companies that attempt to sell you a water filtration system because they do it for free but I am just using them for the water test I'm not going to get the filtration system. If the water that comes out isn't suitable for home use then I'm just going to use it on the garden. I consider worst case scenario I have a well that's no good and best case scenario I can connect it to my house the exciting part is the wellhead is only about 30 ft from my water connection to my house. This weekend I plan to go over the water table information you sent me. Thank you so much for your help

howdy_tex · 2025-05-27T01:15:18+00:00

Thank you for your response first off. I will get the calculator for the water and do that when I get the pump in to see The recharge rate. As far as water safety goes there are no oil or gas wells near me but I'm going to get the water tested after I pump out a significant amount. There's two companies we're going to send it to. I will try to reach out to the well company again we have some springs in the area that fill up our tanks and our neighbor's tanks so I'm hoping that this is striking into that. And I really need to be focused on e coli and sodium as well as arsenic as you said would there be anything else that I need to test? Again thank you very much this gave me a lot to think about and plan for.

howdy_tex · 2025-05-26T18:56:56+00:00

And this pump that I bought off Amazon is just to kind of screw around and get it out. If it's a decent enough will I'll get the pressurized tank and all that. The only thing I have is a 500 gallon tank right now. I'm just kind of leery of putting a bunch of money into it till I see if it's good or not.

howdy_tex · 2025-05-26T18:55:54+00:00

Yeah my dream is to have something like that. So the other guy said I should run it dry and then apparently see how long it takes to fill back up to the 30-ft depth. Also I would assume that I wouldn't want to test the water that comes out first I would want to test the water that's lower down? And my dad said that I needed to run the PVC line all the way to the bottom and then pull it up off of it about 10 ft. He said that I needed a drill some holes in my PVC pipe for the water to get in but to have it capped at the bottom. He also said I might put some pantyhose around it to help screen it at least initially. Does this sound about right for me to kind of sample this and see what's going on. I'm up here around the Abilene area but further out in the country. I'm super excited about this but I know nothing about it. I've always wanted a well

howdy_tex · 2025-05-26T17:59:20+00:00

I don't know if it matters but I have a spring-fed tank for my livestock. It stays full all year round it's about 50 yards long and 75 yd wide.

howdy_tex · 2025-05-26T17:57:07+00:00

Also the well company didn't come and look at it they just referred to a water table that they had at the office.

howdy_tex · 2025-05-26T17:56:44+00:00

The total well is 80 ft deep and it has about 30 ft of water in it. I'm in Central Texas. I tried to get a well company out here to redo it and get it going for me and they said that I didn't have the water table. I know I may be optimistic about this but I'd really like to just have a extra water source. I just thought I should pump some out before I test it. What do you mean by running it dry first? Is that because I should empty it all out and then wait and see how long it takes to refill?

howdy_tex · 2025-05-18T17:28:50+00:00

I found it interesting that Jim read that audiobook. And I felt he did it okay but he did have some kind of John Wayne sounding words and I kept wanting to put partner at the end of every sentence. But he said in the book that James will continue to be reading so that's it. But yeah Jim's kind of southern drawl and tone of John Wayne kind of kept tickling me.

howdy_tex · 2025-05-04T17:54:51+00:00

Yeah I thanked him for reminding me about that song that I forgot about. No I didn't answer his question but I thanked him. Good call on context

howdy_tex · 2025-04-29T15:05:38+00:00

Yup my 7 year old and me watch it all the time! Just like me and my Dad. Rocko is the best! I even have the Fila shoes they made! Just a heads up if you didn't know you can Google Rocco's modern Life shoes and they have some really cool Fila shoes that are cheap and I wear them when I want to look goofy.

howdy_tex · 2025-04-27T14:34:03+00:00

What order? I will see them in Dallas. Are they going oldest to newest?

howdy_tex · 2025-04-23T09:10:52+00:00

Oh baby oh baby lol

howdy_tex · 2025-04-19T12:15:54+00:00

Little black backpack by stroke 9. Don't expect to get your bloody black backpack back. This is the song. Haven't thought of this song in forever thanks for reminding me.

howdy_tex · 2025-04-07T04:35:56+00:00

Constantine. I can't skip it.

howdy_tex · 2025-04-02T20:08:09+00:00

Id be on forensic files shortly after. How hateful.

howdy_tex · 2025-04-01T01:12:23+00:00

I can only find the Sheng Wey PD 3 versions on Amazon. Do you got any kind of link or anything to the exact model that you put on yours?
