My reading shows that florescent lighting only saves energy when left on. Most of the energy is consumed when they are turned on. I have nothing on the compact florescents. Has anyone else?

"Does being married really make a man live longer? Yes, it's one of nature's cruel jokes. God is actually a woman, who is more than willing to extend the suffering of any man." Could it be that life only seems longer when married?

Welll,now I have read about it. Persionally I like to keep my concrete cold. Darn near 80 a day ago. Don't get me wrong but is it safe to assume it could (why would ya want to) to use it for potable water? QUOTE from the site: "The PEX that you see at the Home Center is used for domestic water supply lines only, not for heating systems. This tubing does not have an oxygen barrier, which is not needed for domestic water applications. If you don’t see “DIN 4726â€

I haven't seen anyor read anything about black PEX. What I have read states it's not UV stable.

I started out using an IPAQ with 3D and loved it. Now, I only use the laptop and am much quicker on reporting. The time on site has not changed but the editing time is much less. I began to take note of the amount of time I spent "punching in and scrolling" the boilerplate. The time to return to the laptop, check boilerplate and type edits is no longer of a process. I work a hub around the pooter and simply return as the ole organic RAM becomes full. MHO for what it is worth

I'm not John but I'd venture to say they knew their worth and charged it!

Woah, It ain't dead. It just sleeps through the winter. Come spring the racing season starts back up. Nutin like gittin hit in the face with a little dirt while you choke down a burger and a pickle! For all you less educated folk, it's a quater mile banked oval. After the hot laps to dry the track and the hot laps the 4 bangers come out. Sounds like a bunch of bees. The stock car race is followed by the super stock and the late models. Feels like a tornado as the late models drift by. The roar is deafening. Most of the locals just leave with their ears ringing. In high school I too ascribed to the tradition. When I take the kids we all wear ear protection. To late to stop the perpetual ringing in my ears but I still want to get some use out of them. It's a nice clean environment. There is a track much closer to town but the beer flows freely. Not quite what I want my kids to see as acceptable. But my thoughts drift a bit.

If it is simply a conduit, why extend it through the roof. Or terminate it with 2 90s?

You hit my concerns exactly. I could no direction to go bu thave the builder explain the set up to the AHJ. Orientation: The shot is looking horizontal as I assended the stairs. The vent is directly infront of the stairs.

Sorry guys, I went to a conference that was jamb packed with info. It is acting as a conduit for the csst. My concern is it may be acting as a plumbing vent also. This is the view as I assended the pulldown stairs. Could you be more specific as to what you whant to know.

Scott, how many generations before other families moved into D'Lo? Does anyone know why MS is full of pine trees? Pines are like many family trees’ (geneology). Tall and straight!

We see some weird stuff out there. This was a first. The best I could come up with was the reduction in the vent and the breach of the vent system. Also added a concern for how the CSST enters the vent. I believe the line serves an island cook top. The vent terminates above the roof and is capped with 2 90's. There are no high efficiency appliances in the home. Download Attachment: a125.JPG 28.66 KB Comments please

Jim, I've seen units specifically made for mobile use. The one I remember was for a Nextel system. Try your provider's website.

This is a HUD doc I picked up somewhere in the past. See if it of any hwlp to you. U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Washington, D.C. 20410-8000 Mortgagee Letter 96-10A NOTICE TO PURCHASERS HUD does not warrant the condition of a property. It is important for you to have a home inspection performed on the property you wish to purchase in order to identify any possible defects. Up to $200 of the cost to perform the inspection may be financed into your mortgage. Names of home inspection companies can be found in the yellow pages of your telephone directory under the heading "Home Inspection Services." Date Signature(s) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Tear here) If the home you intend to purchase was built before 1978, it may contain lead- based paint. About three out of every four pre-1978 buildings have lead-based paint. WHAT IS LEAD POISONING? Lead poisoning means having high concentrations of lead in the body. LEAD CAN: <<>> Cause major health problems, especially in children under 7 years old. <<>> Damage a child's brain, nervous system, kidneys, hearing, or coordination. <<>> Affect learning. <<>> Cause behavior problems, blindness, and even death. <<>> Cause problems in pregnancy and affect a baby's normal development. WHO GETS LEAD POISONING? Anyone can get it, but children under 7 are at the greatest risk, because their bodies are not fully grown and are easily damaged. The risk is worse if the child: <<>> Lives in an older home (built/constructed before 1978, and even more so before 1960). <<>> Does not eat regular meals (an empty stomach accepts lead more easily). <<>> Does not eat enough foods with iron or calcium. <<>> Has parents who work in lead-related jobs. <<>> Has played in the same places as brothers, sisters, and friends who have been lead poisoned. (Lead poison cannot be spread from person to person. It comes from contact with lead.) Women of childbearing age are also at risk, because lead poisoning can cause miscarriages, premature births, and the poison can be passed onto their unborn babies. WHERE DOES IT COME FROM? The lead hazards that children most often touch are lead dust, leaded soil, loose chips and chewable surfaces painted with lead-based paint. A child may be harmed when it puts into its mouth toys, pacifiers, or hands that have leaded soil or lead dust on them. Lead also comes from: <<>> Moving parts of windows and doors that can make lead dust and chips. <<>> Lead-based paint on windows, doors, wood trim, walls and cabinets in kitchens and bathrooms, on porches, stairs, railings, fire escapes and lamp posts. <<>> Soil next to exterior of buildings that have been painted with lead-based paint and leaded gasoline dust in soil near busy streets. <<>> Drinking water. (pipes and solder) <<>> Parents who may bring lead dust home from work on skin, clothes, and hair. <<>> Colored newsprint and car batteries. <<>> Highly glazed pottery and cookware from other countries. <<>> Removing old paint when refinishing furniture. In recent years some uses of lead in products that could cause lead poisoning have been reduced or banned. This is true for lead in gasoline, lead in solder used in water pipes, and lead in paint. Still, a great deal of lead remains in and around older homes, and lead-based paint and accompanying lead dust are seen as the major sources. HOW DO I KNOW IF MY CHILD IS AFFECTED? Is your child: <<>> cranky? <<>> unable to concentrate? <<>> vomiting? <<>> hyperactive? <<>> tired? <<>> playing with children who <<>> unwilling to eat or play? have these symptoms? <<>> complaining of stomach aches or headaches? These can be signs of lead poisoning. However, your children might not show these signs and yet be poisoned; only your clinic or Doctor can test for sure. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT? Your child should first be tested for lead in the blood between six months and one year old. Ask the clinic or your doctor to do it during a regular checkup Your doctor will tell you how often you should have your child tested after that. A small amount of lead in the blood may not make your child seem very sick, but it can affect how well he or she can learn. If your child does have high amounts of lead in the blood, you should seek treatment and have your home tested for lead-based paint and lead dust. HOW DO I KNOW IF MY HOME HAS LEAD-BASED PAINT? The appraisal does not determine whether a home actually has lead-based paint. It only identifies whether there are defective paint surfaces in a home that might have lead-based paint. Therefore, the only way you can know for sure is to have the home tested by a qualified firm or laboratory. Both the interior and exterior should be tested. You should contact your local health or environmental office for help. WHAT DO I DO IF MY HOME DOES HAVE LEAD? Do not try to get rid of lead-based paint yourself, you could make things worse for you and your family. If your home contains lead-based paint, contact a company that specializes in lead-based paint abatement. Have professionals do the job correctly and safely. This may cost thousands of dollars, depending on the amount of lead-based paint and lead dust found in your home, but it will also protect you and your children from the effects of lead poisoning. In the meantime, there are things you can do immediately to protect your child: <<>> Keep your child away from paint chips and dust. <<>> Wet-mop floors and wipe down surfaces often, especially where the floors and walls meet. Be sure to clean the space where the window sash rests on the sill. Keeping the floor clear of paint chips, dust and dirt is easy and very important. Do not sweep or vacuum lead-based paint chips or lead dust with an ordinary vacuum cleaner. Lead dust is so fine it will pass through a vacuum cleaner bag and spread into the air you breathe. <<>> Make sure your children wash their hands frequently and always before eating. <<>> Wash toys, teething rings, and pacifiers frequently. WILL HUD INSURE A MORTGAGE LOAN ON A HOME WITH LEAD-BASED PAINT? HUD may insure a mortgage on a house even with lead-based paint if defective paint surfaces are treated. HUD will not remove it. You will have to pay for the cost of removal yourself. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I acknowledge that I have received and read a copy of this Notice before signing the sales contract to purchase my property.

Been here since Friday night

Years past I was cetified by our state dept of health for backflow work. Have you ever seen blue ice come out of the freezer? Think about it.
