You're welcome. Glad she enjoyed it. Hope she got to see the bison and tour the SB Chocolate Co.
They really did a nice job with that museum.

Yes, we also did the chocolate factory tour and went on the short hike to see the bison. It was a great time. You’re right - they did an excellent job with the museum. We really were not expecting much but once we actually got inside we were pleasantly surprised. I think the chocolate tour is a little pricey for what it is, but all in all a great place to take kids that isn’t very far.

I thought that was the best part of being a mechanic!

The best part is when another friend stopped by and asked to check his Power steering fluid. GM decided to put the power steering cap very low by the firewall. Next to the exhaust manifold and between the heater hoses.

BTW not a mechanic, just been working on vehicles for a long time. Everyone says I don't charge enough for my time.

Woke up last week to no water(thankfully I can shower at work and the gym. Thankfully I have only had to pee at home so far. I'm thinking it's the damn pump even though it sounds like it's running or maybe a sediment clog. I can't imagine it being an aquifer problem this close to the river. It's full to the priming plug. The only valve is where it connects to the house. I'm not loosening any fittings because a side effect of getting your damn finger half amputated is childlike grip strength so I effectively have one useful hand.

 

[tv1217]

Oh also it's in the damn crawl space and the original tank attached to the pump must have gone bad at some point because they basically jerry rigged it to a new tank. I remember the home inspector when I bought the house mentioning it but he didn't seem concerned or mention it looking like crap.

Sorry tv1217 for your mess.

Sounds like a shallow well or maybe a jet pump, deep well. If it is full of water, sounds like a call to the man. Too complex for internet help. Sorry tried.

Parents always used sheehy well abc like them, j gave well, but thankfully haven’t had issues. Yet

I knew I was in for some crap in this damn house when I removed the dryer they left and the hole in the floor for the vent tube looked like it was carved out with a butter knife.

Awesome looking building, though I bet those clear span mainframes were not cheap.

If my memory serves, $50 Million for that building. It is an awesome space. Full size football field inside for Northwestern to practice indoors.

For fencing they put down a plastic floor over about 1/3rd of the astroturf and then lay down metal grounded strips on top of the plastic floor.

Just had my pressure tank and pump switch replaced by Action Plumbing, Cedar Lake. They treated me right and got it done quick.

I used to use ECONOMY WELL

But when I had an urgent issue they didn't respond. Sheehy Well on US 41 between Cedar Tucky and Lowellabama dispatched a truck, fixed my problem, at a very very fair price, in a very short time. Super friendly. Highly recommended.

I don't mind the cold once it really gets here. This 40's stuff feels so cold when you're not used to it, or (duh) when you slip shoes on with no socks and your feet freeze.
