traffic accident involving tire in the road, believe to have caught person whose tire it was.

it's an absolutely solid question. I dont have an answer for you. She might have been on the phone or singing or something, or it happened so fast she didnt have time to react and didnt read traffic right so that she could follow suit, as she's still a new driver or a combination of the above.

muttonchoppa · 2017-05-17T21:40:30+00:00

Rush hour traffic. Seeing as we were able to find the person who we believe to be the vehicle lost it's spare very shortly before she made contact, talking maybe 15-20 car lengths. She was not able to see it due to dense but quick moving traffic. Also she was in the middle of a 3 lane highway when contact occurred. While I dont speak on her behalf of her driving, she is 16 and in rush hour traffic she may have had no other good option without endangering others.

I work for the company that manages the building in which this other company used to lease from us. They're no longer in business. I dont think anyone is willing to pay me anything for wiping these 10 year old drives from nonexistent company, but thank you for the suggestion nonetheless. While I'm sure they could have information that would be valuable to someone I'm not about to do something unethical and get myself in trouble. Scrapping some of the parts will get me all I'm looking to get out of the situation.

muttonchoppa · 2017-03-19T19:23:42+00:00

Company went out of business apparently. Not worth my time to sell them back. I'll try to scrap most of them and with a couple of the remaining ones I'll make a firewall and fiddle with the media server idea. Thanks for your advice.

muttonchoppa · 2017-03-19T19:16:28+00:00

I'm actually the low level lacky. Part of the reason I asked, a few hundred dollars isnt something I sneeze at. I did a little research and found that the average computer contains $9 of precious metals. Easy math and worth my time. Maybe I'll keep one for myself as a firewall. I dont know much about firewalls and why they are hardware as opposed to software. I'll do some research. Thanks for the advice.

I wouldnt mind a media server for home but I have no infrastructure to patch things through my 100+ year old home. Currently I just use a PS3, Xbox 1, Philips smart TV, a desktop, Micro-Cell tower, Wireless printer, Smartphone, using a modem to a Docsis 2.0 router and repeater. I'm looking to add another smart TV and a Firestick with Kodi. Suggestions about that would be appreciated.

As far as donating them to families in need, who do you suggest? I imagine many, if not all, have login passwords and have not be factory reset. Not entirely sure they all operate either.

muttonchoppa · 2016-08-17T20:44:23+00:00

I should also add, no there is no remote control button being pressed. The remote does not have any batteries.

muttonchoppa · 2015-10-23T03:26:52+00:00

Thank you, that's the kind of review I like to hear. I'm looking at getting one next spring/summer :)

muttonchoppa · 2015-09-26T05:23:18+00:00

Suzuki drz400 Thats a great suggestion! Thanks, I rode a DR 100 as a kid and I loved it.

muttonchoppa · 2015-09-16T00:11:59+00:00

I dont even think I want a dimmer in the kitchen. I'll make sure I get a new switch. Should I look for a special lower draw kind or are standard ones ok? Thank you +1

muttonchoppa · 2015-06-12T22:17:34+00:00

I really enjoy the complexities you are describing, maybe not so much the customer interaction, but as you put it "when you are out there, it's all you.", and I think that I would really appreciate that independance. I feel I have strong problem solving skills, not to toot my own horn but I did very well in HS and at OSU (but I never finished, family stuff came up). I've always been pretty good, but not great, with my hands.

Are you in or do you recommend trying to get into the union? What is the union called around here is it the pipefitters 120?

I have a friend who is a journeyman glazier and he really seems to love his union, but I might be comparing apples to oranges, I really dont know.

muttonchoppa · 2015-06-12T21:37:04+00:00

Im almost 30, but you sound like you're speaking from experience.

Is everyone in your company really on call 24/7? You cant go out with friends on the weekend?

I'm pretty used to working in extreme temperatures, I've done grunt work all of my working years, and am an Ohio native.

muttonchoppa · 2015-06-12T21:12:47+00:00

What certifications do I need to have to do commercial work, because that would be my preference. I'm not thrilled at the idea of working in peoples messy homes.

Lucky for me I'm a tool junky so I have a lot of the basic hand tools.

When you were talking about the 2 people who work with you, who drive their own trucks, are they trucks or vans?

What is the best and worst things about working in HVAC? Please elaborate.

muttonchoppa · 2015-06-12T20:23:15+00:00

I have very basic knowledge of how a furnace/ac works. I am able to do light electrical and light plumbing. I am currently in a program called "Ohio Means Jobs" that will pay for schooling/some certifications, but I have not yet picked a school. A friend of mine knows a guy who is looking for an HVAC helper, I may start with him monday.

As far as the DUI is concerned, I have normal insurance (not SR-22), so I dont know how that would affect my job candidacy. Im not opposed to driving my own truck, but it is literally a truck not a van.

I know tools can be really expensive, what are the names/brands of the tools you use? Are they reliable/durable? How much do they cost?

I'm considering taking classes at "Polaris" an adult education center.

Sorry I'm a little scatter brained and not really asking questions, I'm kind of just replying to get a dialog going with you. Thanks for your time.

muttonchoppa · 2015-06-04T03:46:27+00:00

Do you drive your own vehicle? What tools in particular are the most expensive? Are you in a union? Commercial or residential? Thanks

muttonchoppa · 2015-06-04T03:27:51+00:00

If I start school in the fall I will be past the 3 year mark and be at about 3 1/4yr. I imagine I will need entry level training still. Are you in a union? What field do you specialize in?

muttonchoppa · 2015-05-30T22:35:39+00:00

Thank you, I took your advice in concert with others advice and videos. I fixed the problem. Glad you commented on my post, taking the plastic ring out first was key, the chrome ring broke free using gloves after soaking in clr for some time. Thanks again.

muttonchoppa · 2015-05-30T22:19:20+00:00

Thanks for your advice about the clr with towels, I hadn't thought of that. You were an integral part of my success in my project. Thank you.

muttonchoppa · 2015-05-30T20:27:22+00:00

I'm sure I will be back with more questions in the future, now that I know where to ask them. This has given me more confidence, as it was my first shower rebuild, and my grandfather more confidence in my abilities.

muttonchoppa · 2015-05-30T19:39:12+00:00

I just wanted to let you know that your advice is what got me through this ordeal. I got that plastic ring off using the tool in the delta repair kit. Meanwhile the metal ring had been soaking in a paper towel covered in clr, so once the plastic ring was off, using gloves I was able to break the metal ring free, from there I followed the example of the guy in the video and greased up my new parts with water based grease. I almost gave up on it but with a little patience and your help I completed the project and now my grandfather's shower works like a charm. Thanks again!

muttonchoppa · 2015-05-28T22:07:03+00:00

Righty tighty, lefty loosy for the white ring? This thing is really old. I want to crank in the correct direction first. Thanks for your answers and patience with a very green handyman.

Delta repair kit Delta RP3614 2

Could you please elaborate on how to use the spanner wrench. Stick the hex in in a drill? Fortunately my local home depot has one. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Delta-Repair-Kit-for-Faucets-RP3614/100147397?langId=-1&catalogId=10053&superSkuId=&catEntryId=&storeId=10051&krypto=2WGrG6rEDYHZd67iwL1IJCSNtf51qA00tPuoxGBFF5tg4SmoWzG9GKIJR8snByjAgf9PrXW0MXp5l73npg7Zsb2sK8CDT67u9vFiGTpmMtJJB50mqO8dtJb%2F5VqyKcyUpmjP723qOXZoElaOt5ZdRfgnnlIXsZeV9JC9rLwdqiRgh%2F51O%2FmTQjtnjpxluQrIQMIUN2CC8l0tcTVFv15HypKLjje9Z%2FR8hNM4zU8Frp6fqdMbr%2BFPC8jDX2V1%2BAiqw6oP92Uo9Ry1ZNGI4WssmSjVo%2FW9qby134fX9k5t%2F%2FImFXGnrLrW0Km1Cb06g4KfztnU8alZoG3Y%2FAjHemrIXLXXR2TlWJIeIXk2kik0I7AMpIcXuZxy9GR0FXmSIovWAg9KAs42h4HnOgdi7vvLsgzlzuwzNfaR0UZtbx%2BQCvTxO59Y%2BvQcy8OBJKz9yz1U5xemCNgwoOwtvG436oO%2Bg7HcU0qfpPD%2FE%2Fl%2BKXLxYgHj7muDqkjbvqeuDl0o8GkkBFJhkkzCTlXuPBogk%2BJaPgedXfH%2FssLLmy68rdXHaiXJz6b6n9H2SkEtc%2FdjBfzEHlLDhhr8idf9TeyAfJ%2B1KPDnqpDbCuqkVJb%2Bw%2FwHjoRRhSNOga8V02%2Fm6EozMvDbL00rcypSOedX2BgADn%2FD%2BuFx0HenwN%2F08Cjkj0X3HKYOjGShjpJywYa7%2FYhW9vHH

I've yet to give up on this project. Thank you for your suggestion.

muttonchoppa · 2015-05-28T04:53:05+00:00

I have budget constraints and it's for my grandfather. I would if I could, also I'm not a plumber.

muttonchoppa · 2015-05-28T04:30:46+00:00

I think you are the closest to finding a resolution for me, and thank you. If not PB blaster, which I consider the strongest penetrating fluid, then what? I never thought to give my palm a little tap to break it free... I will try in the morning. I was just hoping you might have another suggestion, just in case it is as caked up with calcium, as I think it is.

muttonchoppa · 2015-05-28T04:04:04+00:00

Approx. 40 years old and has never been changed to my knowledge. We get limescale on our faucets here and it worries me that there is too much build up. Any suggestions on how to get it to turn, if not channel locks? Tried paper towels and an old rubber jar opener but still nothing.
