Those seem like big holes to me. If the holes are clogged, the gravel won't get in the pit. If the holes are clear, you're predicting some very dramatic erosion. Seems like a stretch. If the holes are low, it'll take in more water - that should be good for the floor. I think sump pumps are made to run continously for some time. The cold water is all around it and running through it. That should keep it cool, yes? That said, I'm not sure how the height of the holes, relative to the float, will have a significant effect here. When I see something out of my comfort zone I usually start thinking of sky-is-falling worst-case scenarios. Take a step back. If you're confident what you're seeing is a problem, pursue it or do more research.

I've never played with this light, but I have a lot of experience with other Streamlight products. Unbelievable durability.

It's a very interesting job opportunity. Sure, it might need patching, but with what? And, by whom? If anybody touches this thing that isn't an expert, they'll likely do more harm than good.

Maybe too late by now... I'd be concerned about lateral support and proper load bearing.

Kurt's on track. If I had a paragraph like that for every small problem I found, two things would happen: 1. My reports would be about 60 pages long, 2. My clients wouldn't read the reports and, therefore, wouldn't benefit at all from my service. Brevity good.

Can anyone tell me about the quality of the Watts fusible plug TPR valve? Does it have a good service record?

Did you ever find out why those guys lit your dad's TV on fire?

As a fireman, I've done both. I've even seen a closed window used as an exit once.

Put the #%@ing dog in the basket!

Thanks, everybody. Have a great weekend.

An individual counter space larger wider than 12" in a kitchen requires a receptacle. Does the same apply for a bathroom?

I get requests for proposals from home owners associations looking for various services. My proposal includes, among other things, an expiration date. For those of you that do this kind of work, what time period do you allow for the customer to accept the proposal?

The paper filler is avoiding the soil? I'm still not following.

What is a soils engineer going to do with that?
