It's not technically a caisson; it's just a manhole about 6' deep. The building sewer runs through it. When there's back up, the primary check valve closes to prevent shit from backing into the house. If someone flushes, it goes into an overflow sump in the "caisson" with a pump to pressure inject it into the City side of the primary check valve. The rest of it is like you describe. I got a picture somewhere.....

Botanically, it's a berry.

Exception......or hybrid mutant? [:-?help]

No, you can't teach old HI's new tricks. It's pretty much impossible to convince them there are tricks, let alone new tricks. If one or two allow as to how there might be a trick, they've already determined that what they're doing has served them well so far and there's no need to think. Thinking is unnatural for most HI's. Toured your software site. Nothing new. Lots that's old. Kinda generic, which might actually be a major selling point to new HI wannabe's.

What one discovers is that sometimes the warp or weave gets wrapped up on the screw (plain old friction works) and when you're driving the screw you notice lines opening up in your carpet where the weave is pulling out. Also, the squeaks come back. I'm experimenting with foaming epoxy injection as a method for stopping squeaks in a 100 year old building. So far, the experiments are indicating it works.

Even then, it's a rough shot in the dark. Fixing squeaky floors is often a hit or miss operations.

Found this from Frank the Plumber, a guy in Chicago..... "The principles of fluid dynamics are such that a liquid may act as a solid in a static position. In this static position the fluid may be more prone to act as a solid if there should be added pressure. Said pressure is exerted by the fluid column that is trapped between the pump outlet and weir of the drainage outlet. In a case where the pump base sits in a 36" deep pit and exits to a pipe at 7 feet above floor the water column may be 10 feet. If you took that 10 feet and filled a bucket with it you may have 3 gallons of waterX 8 = 24 ponds of fluid pressure applied, calculate the check flap resistance into the equation and you may fluid lock a pump. Thus by relieving the water column at the base of the pump you allow the pump to discharge unloaded and allow the velocity of this water discharge to lift the check and properly function. Over the course of a pumps life this elimination of load may earn the pump a 5% capacity towards life and 5% power savings as most pumps elevate their power usage per the respected load applied." Seemed like a decent description.

Don't forget to factor in use tax on the beignet and muffuletta.

I think I'd mention this to the buyers.

Writing is concentrated thinking. This guy was writing to see what he was thinking.

Vests are nice for this gig. I started feeling too much like inspector gadget though, and shifted down to Levi's cargo pants.

Foundational.....no. Nothing with the foundation either. Just a lot of cracked tiles most likely.

I saw 300+ year old houses in China...mud brick, parged thick inside and out with lime. Tile roof. No foundation to speak of. As long as the roof doesn't leak into the mud brick, the things could hit 500, easy.

i couldn't finish.... it could have been condensed into about a minute.

Oh, yes. It's a wonderland of graphical capability in that regard. All the stuff you noted, buttons to paste specific text or pics, all my SOP data entry is pull down menus editable within the menu...everything. IT folks get a big grin on their face when they see it.

15, but I don't know what you mean by graphical capability. It will store any type of graphic, I can put any type of graphic in a layout or template.....I can't draw in it like Illustrator though. It's a database with a lot of graphic layout capability.

$664...or something close to it. Battery issue.... like they die, or do they melt? The 3 had major problems. Supposedly, the 4 is ok. Mostly.

This is only about running my application on a touch screen computer. The iPad version of Filemaker won't bulk import pics, otherwise I'd do it all on an iPad. I need a full tilt operating system and a touch screen. So, it sounds like I can take a cheap pad and make it my report tablet and it'll work.

Thnx. I got the cheapest of the cheap, 4 GB Ram, 128 GBHD, and...from what I can gather...the bottom of the heap in processors, something called a Core M. All I want it to do is run my FM Pro application, check email, that's it.

Fiddling with a surface pro 4 and want to know if it will run very basic stuff with 4gb of RAM. I haven't used windows in years and remember the old systems ran SLOW on only 4gb RAM. Would be using one program at a time, basic email, Word, etc. looking for minimal requirements for basic functionality.

Bob Priesing http://www.chimneyscience.com/ Walter called him Chimney Bob.

Thanx....too easy....I was thinking it was something like "vitrified foam", or some highly technical material composition. Chimney Bob calls these things "Room Vented Lung Filtered" appliances. I turned the thing on and about a 1/2 hour later everyone had a headache. I gave them an object lesson in why they should get rid of them.

Told them about the mantle, clearances, etc. I hate these things anyway...I told them to tear it out, it looks like my grandparents finished basement in 1963. What are VF logs?

I didn't know that. There wasn't a rating plate or other mfg. identifying marks, so I couldn't check it. Thanx for the info.

Thanx.
