I think it was 1963 (i said 1967 before the edit - duh) when Larry Morris rolled a little exta distance and took out Y. A. Tittle's left knee (though not because of a percieved blowout) --- End of the NY Giants title chances .... and effectively the end of Tittle's career. It happens.

OK, just because it was Katen, I had to do it... You meant whet vice wet, didn't you? That is, unless you were implying that the useless pictures in reports bring customers to tears.... []

Thank, Jim, for clearing that up for me. My version is a foggy remembrance from basic electricity and elctronics training back in my younger days. My pastor also corrects me in my misstatements and non-systematic thinking. If only I had more mentors (now that I'm old enough to know to listen to them...)

When you measure across a DELTA 240 leg, you're essentially measuring across two 120V secondarys that are 180 degrees out of phase. 120v plus 120v = 240v When you measure across a the phases ofd a WYE secondary, you are measuring across two secondaries that are only 120 (i think)degrees out of phase (vice 180) , hence the nominal 208VAC vice 240. ....We really don't need to know this, do we.....

[:-graduat[:-graduatWhen I got off to university back in the 70's, my freshman composition prof gave me a C on my first, next, and every future essay for the quarter. I didn't change for her (she obviously didn't know what she was talking about) , and I ain't changing fer you ...[:-graduat[:-graduat

The wiki diagram you're looking at is three phase WYE (three phases measuring 208 V RMS phase to phase and 120 V RMS phase to neutral.) Katen is describing three phase DELTA, which measures 240 V phase to phase and 120 phase to neutral IF the windings are cnter tapped. The difference between the WYE and DELTA phase to phase voltages are a result of the different phase angles with the different configurations. Google delta and wye power or something similar, and the concepts should be explained somewhere out there....

How many of us REALLY think we need it?[]

From Rheem's generic Use and Care Manual for residential electric water heaters: "At least once a year, lift and release the lever handle on the temperature pressure relief valve, located near the top of the water heater, to make certain the valve operates freely. Allow several gallons to flush through the discharge line to an open drain." From a typical Rheem gas water heater user's manual: "At least once a year, lift and release the lever handle on the temperature pressure relief valve, located near the top of the water heater, to make certain the valve operates freely. Allow several gallons to flush through the discharge line to an open drain. NOTICE: If the temperature and pressure relief valve on the hot water heater discharges periodically, this may be due to thermal expansion in a closed water system. Contact the water supplier or your plumbing contractor on how to correct this. DO NOT plug the relief valve outlet." I exercise every TPR valve that isn't frozen shut (unless it discharges in a way that can damage something). I've left a few of them dribbling with a note to the homeowners to replace them (it helps to attach the note to the "routine maintenance" section of their water heater manual.) No callbacks from angry or litigious homeowners yet --- over TPR valves, anyway. Most of the "leakers" tend to slowly shut (or the rust/corrosion seals again) after ten or fifteen minutes, though. On these, I recommend replacement in the report. I do not consistently recommend exercising the valve in my report, though I usually talk about those things either during or at the end of the inspection.

I use the openoffice.org suit too. I haven't had any problem accessing anyone else's MS docs, spreadsheets, etc. I bought the cheaper MS OFFICE Suite (educational version for my homeschooler) and tried it for the sixty day free trial on my computer, but, alas, I'm too familiar with OpenOffice.org, and really enjoy the free updates/upgrades. I'v used it for almost four years now, and am quite comfortable with it. I don't think I'll ever go back to MS Office. (Now if anyone would come up with a modern day version of the old PC WRITE, I'd go with that in a flash....)

Yeah, after I posted I thought (ain't that the case - for me anyway) about it, and figured you were talking about face nailing AFTER blind nailing.... Doesn't sound like a good idea to me either.

Looks like Mr. Bush forgot how to run upfield. First game jitters? I turned it off and watched the Middle Tenn/Louisville football and the DC United/Chivas soccer games instead.

http://www.jameshardie.com/homeowner/pd ... nstall.pdf I couldn't get the link in the original post to work, so I added this one to the jameshardie site. Les, according to the instructions, face nailing is OK with the Hardie folks. While my own is blind nailed ('cause I did it), I see all face nailed on new and recent construction around here. The nails are always (always) overdriven, in which case the instructions say to caulk over the original nail head and nail again.

someone who uses exclamation points to excess !!!!

Just for fun, a friend led me to this web site for the latest doggie chew toy: http://www.vickdogchewtoy.com/

I think the league's better off without Mr. V. The owner's spent years trying to build a team (and recently a coaching staff) around Vick. I'm thinking that any free agent who was willing to QB for Atlanta wouldn't be worth the money. Spend it on an O-line who can block for a pocket passer and move through the draft. But --- ya think Mr. Brees might be available? I've always liked his style of play.....

From Falcons country --- At least we'll have a quarterback for the first time in some years....

BONNIE!! BONNIE!!

You're right.

My perspective (such as it is): I read every word of this thread up until the the previous post. I didn't make it through that one. Things have come to a pretty pass, Our romance is growing flat, For you like this and the other While I go for this and that. Goodness knows what the end will be; Oh, I don't know where I'm at... It looks as if we two will never be one, Something must be done. (refrain) You say eether and I say eyether, You say neether and I say nyther; Eether, eyether, neether, nyther, Let's call the whole thing off! You like potato and I like potahto, You like tomato and I like tomahto; Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto! Let's call the whole thing off! But oh! If we call the whole thing off, Then we must part. And oh! If we ever part, Then that might break my heart! So, if you like pajamas and I like pajahmas, I'll wear pajamas and give up pajahmas. For we know we need each other, So we better call the calling off off. Let's call the whole thing off! You say laughter and I say lawfter, You say after and I say awfter; Laughter, lawfter, after, awfter, Let's call the whole thing off! You like vanilla and I like vanella, You, sa's'parilla and I sa's'parella; Vanilla, vanella, Choc'late, strawb'ry! Let's call the whole thing off! But oh! If we call the whole thing off, Then we must part. And oh! If we ever part, Then that might break my heart! So, if you go for oysters and I go for ersters I'll order oysters and cancel the ersters. For we know we need each other, So we better call the calling off off! Let's call the whole thing off!

Actually, it's: R311.5.4 Landings for stairways. There shall be a floor or landing at the top and bottom of each stairway. (exceptions omitted) Wy wouldn't a flat yard serve as a landing? I'm with Jim and Scott on this one. As long as the deck steps are on a footing or footings, a level yard meets the requirement for a landing (except for Gwinnett County.)

I too studied Wildlife Biology in my university days. I was unable to complete my studies, though. In my fourth year, at a meeting in the Dean of Men's office, I was strongly encouraged to leave and never come back because of a few of my activities outside the classroom. 33 years later, I've not yet gotten around to completing the coursework for that degree. Don't tell my kids. They think I'm a model of propriety.

I'm gonna dredge this up from the distant past.... Image Insert: 42.72 KB Image Insert: 82.24 KB All the windows at the plywood sided portion of the rear of this home are unflashed (see top photo) while all the rest of the windows installed where there is lap siding have observable head flashing. The windows installed over plywood have only a small bead of caulk and a coat of paint to prevent water intrusion. I'm gonna get a battle from Pulte on this one, because every home in the subd. is built this way. So -- Do they need to flash these windows? Is caulk enough?
