Probably because you laid them out in metric instead of imperial.

What's an Erby screwdriver? Vodka, orange, and what else?

Exactly! That's why I think it might be the lesser known, but every bit as dreaded "armadillo cicada", which has 16 year 8 month cycle. Like it's larger cousin from the south, it also has a healthy appetite for Lone Star Beer. This would explain the burnt grass.

Yeah? What about it? Building green.

Maybe, Bill, but the ones I've seen are black and have a long tail. I watched one work a quarter inch round tunnel in my yard before. That insect looks more like one of the gigantic Honey bee (like) critters, I see around here occasionally.

"Deal Killer"!

Here. All you need to do, is get training, follow the rules, keep proper documentation of the entry, hire a trained attendant and have a rescue crew in place before the dive. Piece of cake. I used to have to re-qualify every year at the nuke plants. Can't be too much different on your side of the river.

Lake Shore Rd. Formerly known as Snake Swamp Rd. Still is, if you're giving directions to a local.

Damage? Have you no respect for artistic license?

I'm glad someone else went there. I started writing one of those the first day he posted it. []

Most around here are appointed part time positions. Since they really aren't held accountable for much, unless they have an axe to grind with someone, they don't seem to be aware of half of what we cringe at when we see it. I once did an inspection for a friend on a new modular that had no GFCIs in the garage, no rock on the garage ceiling between the living space above, and a number of other incomplete or incorrect, while the AHJ wrote a C of O for the place at the very same time. One of the towns in this county wants stamped architecture drawings before issuing a permit. Another town requires the equivalent of a charcoal drawing on the back of a cereal box.

I'm not so sure these are as old or rare as you boys are thinking. http://www.avantiproducts.com/products/cat/50 The house Click to Enlarge 46.4 KB The closet Click to Enlarge 29.24 KB Click to Enlarge 30.42 KB

I know where there's one just like that. It was in a walk in bedroom closet. If find the pic, I'll post it.

The shit you can learn here! All this time, I thought whiffle trees were plastic and that's where whiffle ball bats came from.

Seriously, what is the deal with that much water being trapped behind the block? You Chicago guys have mentioned this a number of times before. What's different about this than any other veneer installation?

Why? What's going on there?

That is not a CH series, it is a BR series. Both Cutler Hammer brand, but both completely different.Those are not rated for two conductors. Thank you, sir.

Good timing. Found this one today. Also a CH, and also NFG? Click to Enlarge 49.29 KB

Oh! I will be using that one. []

Looks like the windows aren't flashed, either?

I would seal that up, add a piece of chamfer strip to the entire length at the bottom with enough of angle to pass the "marble test", to divert water away from where it's been settling and causing the damage.

Their boards are junk. Some have been known to magically start in self cleaning mode and run for hours at 500 degrees. There are web pages full of complaints from pissed off, or terrified owners. The Big W does not give a damn about it and will do nothing for those of us who own one. Same goes for the KA dishwasher boards. They are known fire starters. Try cutting the power to it for a few minutes. When you power it back up, it may show a "PF" (power failure) code, it might work, or it might show "F02," which is the code for, "the board is shot." The oven boards cost around $200.00.

Because of where it is and the type of bark, my guess would be a sumac.

"But" Nothing. End of story. WTF? You want to hear both barrels blasting? Goad me into it.
