Arrow Illinois Chapter April 2020 BS Thread

Welcome to April everyone, I hope you're doing the social distancing that everyone is telling us to do?

Here is a sign of the times.

I imagine work has you on a screwed up schedule right now?

I hope you are staying safe?

We work a rotating shift to begin with. 7 days working 0700-1500, then 2 days off. Then 7 days working 1500-2300 followed by 5 days off.

I know what you mean Rick. The only squad that does not rotate shifts is the midnight shift. But they follow the same 7 on, 2 off, 7 on, 5 off routine.

it has started getting busy at work. And alot of crazy calls too. home not too bad. Just alot of cleaning and straightening of things. Although I do have to figure out the bathroom sink soon. Might have to replace the faucet. Cold water side is a bit more then a trickle while the hot water side comes out pretty good.

If you have galvanized pipes they could have a rust build up inside. If you have copper the fixture is screwed up.

We still have a few pieces of galvanized in the house. Not much though. I figure I can pull the line off the cold side and blast in case the line is plugged. If that is fine then I will just replace the fixture and be done with it.
