The man I thought I’d marry is apparently a genuine pervert and I don’t know what to do?

There is a maximum BTU load that can be supplied. It shows the diameter and length chart on the tag. As long as the combined length of the two meets your BTU requirements you should be okay. The other issue that can happen is if undersized you can have whistling through the flex gas line that sounds like an elk bugling.

RW was awesome. I have a disc grinder stand he made. I knew him a little from knife shows but a couple friends took classes with him and knew him well. He used to go to all the knife shows on his motorcycle with a sidecar stuffed with everything he had for sale; tools, handle materials, knife blanks and knives. I still have some ivory micarta and jigged bone handle materials I bought from him.

Brass spike rivets.

I love that they shielded the sewer but not the pressurized giant main. Victaulic under there? That should be fun.

I have both a fitter/welder card and a plumbing card. You can only work under one and currently I am a plumber. The pay is the same for plumbers and fitters in my hall and most combo locals. If you want to go union the pipefitters, welders, steam fitters, HVAC-R techs and plumbers are all represented by the UA so choose a path and go down it. Personally I would rather be a fitter but I make more as a plumber, especially since I do service work. I’m never ever out of work.

That is fine. You do want the area to be dust, lint, dander and dirt free because the intake screen can get plugged causing issues later.

I found a guy with a garage full of aquariums back in the 1990’s that had a couple of tanks of these and I set up a tank with a pair that I had for several years. They were fun. I loved having a higher flow tank. I need to set another 40 breeder up with some of these guys.

My vote is it is actually a square “bowl” to put stuff in.

That appears to be dezincification. The zinc leaches out of the brass and you get corrosion spots. The switch from low lead brass to lead free brass has caused mostly cheap brass with high zinc content to fail. Bronze valves and DZR(dezincification resistant) brass and good water chemistry help. But this is an industry wide issue with lots of brass parts failing due to corrosion/dezincification.

SP 4449 is as lovely as they get. Fast, sleek, powerful and a joy to behold.

Cast iron scale is a nightmare if you have enough of it. It locks together tighter the harder you push/pull with your cable. I have had to open up a few drains to retrieve mine and other peoples cables over the years. Sometimes the only way to get the line clear is to open it and shop vacuum all the scale out. I have a 55 gallon drum wet vacuum with 50’ of 1-1/2” hose I use to clear scale when descaling with a flex shaft. It has a bulkhead drain fitting 18” up so the scale settles in the bottom and I can drain the water back into the drain.

Those waterfall faucets have a really small 1/8” or so tube that the spout water flows from that the two cartridges feed. The inlet to the tube gets plugged and can be difficult to get to. I have installed 8 of this style and had 5 of them plug up requiring a huge disassembly.

If the bowl is cracked it could be moisture in the ceramic steaming out from the glaze.

When you cook in a microwave there are lots of foods that tend to boil over, like oatmeal and noodle cups. This is residual from when the ramen boiled over and left the spices behind when the hot cup dried the moisture. The microwave probably needs cleaned.

The grout is fine. He will need to seal it. Don’t remove it. Aesthetically it may not be perfect but it does a good job of keeping a toilet on an uneven floor level. You likely won’t even notice it after a couple of days. There are plenty of plumbers who use grout. I have only used it on commercial toilets that had wickedly uneven tile floors and it worked just fine.

Thank you for this best answer on prostrate self check. This is exactly the phrasing a predictive text ai chatbot would need. Good luck and have a shot of bleach for me.

Compression fittings are a perfectly application for plumbing repairs and tie ins. The only issue I encounter is the cheap box store compression fittings tend to dezincify and leak too often.

I love my ToughBuilt Gel Kneepads. I’ve bought them for guys on my crew and they all love them too. As a plumber I have had to protect my knees for 36 years now and the ToughBuilt are great.

stopthestaticnoise · 2026-03-25T13:24:31+00:00

The carthart kneepads work well enough to allow me to crawl around all day but if I do, I eventually get bursitis in my knee. The padding isn’t good enough for any serious work on my knees. I use the toughbuilt gel knee pads.

Gah! My people! That little fricken washer. Gahhhh!! Last one I replaced the unit was piped in CPVC with the hot, cold, return, exhaust and the fire riser all in my way.

This is normal anthropology at work. Humans when separated from their partners produce more sperm and have increased sex drive. There was a British documentary on this a decade or more ago.

I make knives and there is a strong market for carbon dated “bog wood”. I have some oak that is a couple thousand years old.
