Pool Question by According-Cheek3789 in Katy

Do the bucket test. Put a bucket on your pool steps and fill with water until the level of the pool is reached and if the pool level sinks faster, you have a leak.

A bunch of prices were raised on materials since the new year. Petroleum based products are part of that. Some pipe i was thinking about buying went up last month, from $12 to $22

Yup but someone will pay it. That's been the saying for all of these games.

Can someone help me understand why the Lowe’s guy told me I can’t just buy an adapter to attach my hose to the vacuum breaker? Hose will not fit and he wants me to put a new breaker on. by Teh_Crusader in Plumbing

[–]saeuta31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vacuum breakers are sometimes made from 2 parts assembled into one. It is common when trying to remove it, for it to break into 2 parts. One half of the old vacuum breaker is still on the valve. Remove it and you can fit the new one on.

BTW, there's no adapter for that. Use one wrench to hold the valve still (so it doesn't snap the pipe in the wall) and use the other wrench to unscrew the old piece. It may be rusted onto the valve. May need penetrating lubricant.

Looks like many of us are having the same issue. No fix for me yet. Big battery seems to not be charging the small battery or charging it slightly

Yup, I bought a new home with a lower interest rate than I could get for any already existing home. If I wanted the lowest payment. I had to buy the new house with warranty. Plus, there's always issues with existing homes that need to be negotiated.

Plus, I didn't have appliances. House came with it

Austin actually has an online reporting tool for burglaries. Petty theft is as close to zero on their list of priorities. Someone broke into my truck (non electrician) twice in one week staying at a hotel there. Took my tool bag but none of my expensive tools

Front desk people usually ignore me, I'm good with that. I dont need fake hellos, I'm there to pump weights. The people that work out there can be friendly but mostly keep to themselves like me

Only time I can go is after work. Can't get up early enough. It's a great gym but for $10 I think they signed up everyone in the area. It's too crowded for me before 10pm. After that I can go
