Good morning!!!!

Drew, glad to hear your generator/electrical work went well. Your landlord is gonna love you.

Have you looked at craigslist for an installer? I think most of the pros want you to buy door etc from them to make more. But any decent handiman should be able to hang your opener. Shoot, I even did it.

Not quite 16 hours and mowing is basically done. Small area where I first started and then rained and wife wants me to do the garden area, so maybe half an hour.
Due to her expert handling of the Craftsman rider, I didn’t have to mow the house lawn (5+ acres), saving some time. She always does excellent job too.

Ted, nice job on the lights.

Well, I was really waiting until you got some measurable snow.... then our cold weather only wouldn't seem so bad...

LOL, are you waiting until we get some -40F temps? Then anything above zero would look good to you. :laughing:

Good morning, the temperature is 24ï½°F and going to 28. Wind N 21 gusting to 39 mph. Snow! We could see up to a foot.

I am as ready for the snow as I ever am. I will be out plowing this morning.

I cleaned out the group mail boxes for 25 years, up until someone bellyached about the job I was doing for free. Now they are tendered and I don't bid. The way I look at it, if you are getting a service for free, then don't ***** if the job isn't up to your standards.

After plowing, a town run, then conserve energy.


Have a safe day all

It was the same temp here this AM. 24F What gives???

45-49 today, ended up with just over an inch of rain and high winds never developed here. Gusts to about 30-35 a couple of times.

Cardiologist says I知 doing fine and that I致e lost a lot of weight, go back in six months.

We bought Roku for the old 55 TV, and the kitchen TV, and ordered two new sets with Roku built in. I知 turning in cable boxes today.
With Roku and a couple of cheap subscriptions I can replace everything we watch, and Locast gives me local channels. I知 getting more choices for $50 less.

Have a good day.

This is good news from your doctor, my friend.

I unplugged the cable at least 2 years ago. We have a channel broadcast out of Austin, called Decades?? I get it with my antenna. This morning I woke up, and they were playing old Ed Sullivan highlights. I watched the Rolling Stones do "19th Nervous Breakdown". Pretty cool. I believe they were actually performing live.

RNG, you must be running low on work, jacking up a van to create an oil leak.

Got water heater draining right now, going to swap in the one I used before this fancy geo unit that failed way too early. Hope it still works.
Had lukewarm shower this morning, rest of them had a cold shower. Breaker wasn’t tripped, but wife said it was tripped later. Reset breaker tonight and didn’t warm up. Hope not just a bad breaker. Will catch up on tbn later.

BEF, $68 seems a lot to pay for shipping, the water circulation pump on your ground source must be a lot larger than mine, or is it the compressor you are having to replace ?

It’s the whole flow center, don’t have time to just replace a pump. About 3 ft tall Very quick swap when it comes.


And it didn’t come today like the call said it would. Tracking shows it’s still sitting in Ohio.

Since I plowed this morning, there is another 6" so far to plow tomorrow.

Buckeye, what brand geo heat pump did you get, and what is it replacing? I’m on my third one. First was a Carrier, lasted over 20 years, followed by a Florida Heat Pump / Bosch, that didn’t make ten years. Now have a Climate Master which seems to be better made than the first two, have to see how long it lasts.
.

Just replacing a flow center. HP is geomax by heat controller, same factory as climate master, and has climate master control board. I have 2 of them, I installed 10 yrs ago. I was IGSHP certified installer then.
I replaced the other flow center 2 yrs ago. I use the non pressurized system.
