Most of the time would leave them white but would use the colors for a week around Valentines, Easter, 4th of July, Halloween, Christmas, etc. Maybe go crimosonon IU game days? There are other manufacturers. I like the concept of a permanent color changing accent light. https://us.govee.com/collections/outdoor-lights/products/govee-rgbicww-led-permanent-outdoor-lights If they’re out of the elements, yeah, probably worth a shot.

Not sure about the glue joints but he has figured out that you need something (rock) to resist the blowout force. Remember they were putting in a new 30” line at the water plant they poured tens of yards of concrete at the 90deg turn. The old physics law force equals mass times acceleration. It takes a lot to make a moving 30” column of water turn 90deg! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I’d say that plumber knows a thing or two about joints. Looks like he indulged in a few of them while working this job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to try to turn that “30” column” line into a double entendre about my tallywhacker, but I’m on my third bourbon of the night and creativity is failing me at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are trying to describe "Peyronies Disease" Pipe fitters. When ya gotta screw around with corners, Peyronies is your first call !

Bottle jacks have far more leverage than (any kind) of jack supported by a crowbar with the end down on the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just working on a mower and had to use the stock bottle jack from my truck. It seems weird that you can lift an entire vehicle from a 1” X 1” pad.

Sometimes it might be fixable, unless you've already gotten a diagnosis from a pro on it. I thought I needed to replace mine, but it just needed a new mother board.

It's 24 years old, and replacement seems a better investment than repair. Still works, but motors are failing, some pieces are corroded to hell, including the outdoor unit which rattles and keeps us up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With it being so old, you're probably losing some efficiency as well. I moved from Indy in 2008, so my contacts are long gone. Sorry.
