Check out that discharge pipe lower down on the wh. Corroded big time. I figer it's from a steel clamp nearby doing the electrolysis thing. Thanks Erby for the reply.

Thank you for the replies, all.

Thanks Erby. Just looked funky. Not a big deal for the vent ending there?

DW is in center island by itself. Drain line not sloped to drain. Vent exits into crawl space. No air gap viewed. This can't be good? Click to Enlarge 40.67 KB Click to Enlarge 48.03 KB Click to Enlarge 53.68 KB

So there I was getting ready to put the deadfront back in. I jammed it this way and then that way. Couldn't remember if it went in behind the exterior lid. Thought it was not behind the lid, which I was right about. Click to Enlarge 41.22 KB It was dark up in there. Hmmm, think I'll put my light on it after about 5 minutes of fiddling around. Click to Enlarge 50.48 KB Those fat copper bars wanted me bad, but I refused their beckoning. Had that feeling when I pulled the deadfront out to be sure to not let it set back in the panel anymore than necessary. Yup, after looking over my photos I realized there are more than 6 breakers to shut off the power. That would have been a nice miss.[:-paperba Click to Enlarge 43.5 KB

I worked 4 hours at Walmart tonight. It wasn't that bad. Somebody said I looked stupid standing in my swim fins.

Jim, which side of the doorway do you want to work?

Thanks for the late Friday reply Jim!

I fear that there could be some switch somewhere that turns the stuff on. That's a good reason to get rid of abandoned wiring.

I went up this side. Not so difficult. The story wouldn't have been such an attention getter if I said I was on an older roof and slipped on some granules onto my butt. I set it up to look ominous when it really wasn't. Click to Enlarge 58.49 KB And for thinking I'm a risk taker. That's ridiculous. This photo of me on top of Half Dome should prove that I'm not.

Oh, I sat down pretty quickly alright![:-weepn]

I get paid to look at everything, I look at it all. I don't trust most of those other folks that show up to sell something, especially the used car type. John, what you said about doing the roof route is exactly what I did.

It's so dry out here that that moss was like carpeting. Above that chimney was the only place I would walk it after seeing the kid walk on it. In case I slipped it would be down to the chimney. It was solid. Kinda took my mind a bit off the granule deal, yet I made sure I was still above something to stop me should I slip. [:-paperba

Are these cracks in the service entrance in need of new insulation/replacement? If an ignant was touching the mast and this insulation would it arc thru and cook the ignant? Click to Enlarge 12.88 KB

When things get steep you are better off facing the roof while going down just like you did when going up. AND don't lean in.

Call me crazy, but there is more to see and feel when you are on it. Big deal that I slipped onto my butt. That chimney had a long crack up its backside. My first slip out in 8 years, done with a safety net, so to speak. I was a rock climber in a previous life.

Oh it was horrible alright. Look at this thing. What was I thinking? Click to Enlarge 113.41 KB I was walking down the backside when it happened. That horrible feeling of my feet slipping out. Then the whistling of the air as I picked up speed. My life flashed before me. 24 inches later my butt hit the shingles. Out of control I slid another 24 inches. I'm lucky that I'm not quite 62 yet or I would have been finished. Ha. [:-monkeyd So the rest of the story is the used car salesman chimney sweep guy had his teenage gopher go up that mossy side to look over the chimney. I couldn't believe that he didn't slip on that moss at all. When I was up there that moss was like dry carpeting. I walked it down the the chimney from the ridge, but no elsewhere. I crashed on the back side cause of the loose granules on the old roof. But, as we all should know, always keep a catchers mitt below you. I was about 2 feet down the field when I slipped out. I had the ridge just below me to catch me, but I think I only went a few feet. Click to Enlarge 87.23 KB ALWAYS HAVE A CATCHERS MITT BELOW YOU IF YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING SKETCHY. I tweaked my right wrist a bit. Two days later it's 90% recovered.
