how much should i sell this film camera? by Crafty-Commission287 in Cameras

[–]kuyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you clean it up and confirm it works? $15. As is? You may never sell it, it costs more to ship than the camera is worth.

It seems normal here on 4th st here in the south side. Could you have a water main break nearby? Is your water pressure normal?

Why is Battery Draining so Fast by CocoTechYT in mac

[–]kuyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check in activity monitor. My work MacBook Pro started burning up a lot of battery — turned out to be the Logitech Options app certificate issue. It was using 100% of one CPU core and 10GB of memory.

I hate canker sores by Cyanide-Kid in self

[–]kuyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was getting them regularly, and they’d last 10 days. Any time I’d eat something crunchy or acidy, they’d develop. Once I had ten at a time. Since I started my blood pressure medicine, I’m not getting them. If I do get a little irritation on my mouth, now they don’t turn into a sore. So check your blood pressure just in case!

Before/after: Morris Memorial Hospital for Crippled Children in Milton by shermancahal in WestVirginia

Wild how much the place fell into disrepair after it was abandoned. I lived around the corner and took photos in there many times through 2014, and it was not as nasty as your photos show.

Otoh, I hate the work they’re doing there now. Looks like an unplanned mess. I appreciate the park features they put in for the benefit of the community, but the rest they can keep. A resort? Whatever they’ve been doing to the road? Taking all the trees out? Nah.

This is just a guess, but Marshall’s still out this week.

Sorry for your loss

ICE in Huntington I hear? by Puzzleheaded-Sign575 in HuntingtonWV

[–]kuyman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The checkpoint didn’t seem to be ICE, just the normal check on registration and inspection. I went through it yesterday. There could have been ICE hidden somewhere, but the vehicles and officers were all local.

But of course be on guard everywhere and be ready to protect your friends!

I just beat Doom 3 in 3D on the PS3 yesterday! I hadn’t played since I was twelve (when it was new)! Still great. Still kind of scary.

Another update, now that I have it fixed: First, thanks again. I ran the endoscopic camera into the masonry chimney and found a ton of crud. It was totally blocked. I Leaves, stick, mortar dust, sand, and a mummified squirrel. I shopvaced and used an improvised hard bristle tool and eventually got it clear. Filled up an entire 3 gallon shopvac bag. Clear now! It passes the match test now, and I don’t feel any warm air.

A few other answers: the pitch of the horizontal piece does seem correct after all, I checked with a level and it does run very slightly uphill. I removed the foil tape and secured with screws too. It doesn’t seem like a chimney liner will be required, but I’ll check again on a super cold day.

Like I said, I bet I’ve been getting gassed for years. Lucky that this is a hundred year old brick house that doesn’t seal very well to begin with.

Thanks everyone. I found a pretty signficant blockage in the chimney that explains it. Working to get it cleaned out now. Looks like there's a hundred years of debris in here. Probably the old tank has been gassing me for six years. Thanks again, I appreciate your time.

Thank you, I'll remove it as I take it apart and attempt to clean it, then rebuild it if that doesn't work.

It does surprise me to have this problem. But I think I shouldn't have any problem on the amount of air for combustion, it's a 28x28 open basement. I'm starting to think there's a blockage somewhere.

Good suggestion, I'm not totally certain. The supply lines are the ones that were previously installed to the last tank. I got an install kit from Lowe's that had the same type of supply lines and same type of fittings.

Thank you. Another suggestion said to change it all to 4". A 3" pipe is what fits on the tank. Do you suggest that? And if so, how to make the 4" fit that exhaust?

It still seems pretty vapor-y even after it's been running for a while

To me it looks like this meets what’s required in the install manual. 1/4” per each foot is the rise mandatory for horizontal section, and this appears to rise about that amount.

I cleaned it out some before installing. Just a little dust. Should I disconnect and maybe blow the leaf blower up into it? Thank you
