Good Morning eveybody.Going to lowes today to shop for a new bathroom we are putting in the basement.The bad part is we have to cut the floor 
for the new pluming,and have a grinder pump installed,since we have a old house were the there was no pluming for a bathroom in the basement.
Never done this so I am letting the pros.do it I am doing the finish work after there done with the pluming.I can handle that part anyway.

I woke up to a gust front coming through -- 30-40 MPH gusts!! Now it's pouring out there, and after the front comes through, the temp is going to drop like 20 degrees.
I've been enjoying the 70-80 degree weather, dammit. Maybe I'll put the ATS on today.

Well, did another furnace repair yesterday, another easy, so I thought I would share.. this one was the presure switch for the exhaust fan. Not a big deal, but thsi time instead of it not tripping, it wouldnt un trip. SO the circuit board thought that to be a fault.. I guess they wont let you jump them anymore in case of emergency..All I had to do was to blow into the switch, then inhale. Causeing the switch to trip several times. Appears to be working, but will go after the switch later to be safe..
I am only posting these because it is my hope that it may help someone in the future, if no one wants to hear about it, please let me know..
By the way, I am not a furnace repairman, but my friends still call when they are in a bind..

No one wants to hear about it Pat!
J/K LOL Always good to hear this kind of info in my opinion. Maybe this all would have been solved the first time around if you had stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. haha
Hope you had a good Christmas.

My doc sent me to get my chief complaint taken care of (pee'n) they installed a catheter then called my doc. After yacking back and forth they came in and told me the catheter was coming out and I was getting a pill to take 1 every 8 hours. Don't know if it's working yet but the inside of my Richard sure hurts from the in and out so close together.
Yes Pop, that just may the most expensive ride in the country, but worth every penny. Coming back down the way those brakes were smoking I was for sure the only place we could possibly end up would be the bay.

Morning everyone!
Left to take my oldest to a bday party around 8:45a, I needed a silly ice scraper for my windshield. My youngest didn't know what was all over the truck, I had to explain to her it was ice. lol. She thought it was cool to be able to see her breath inside the truck, the oldest and I just thought it was cold and couldn't wait for the heater to warm up.
Mark- sorry about the quick cathether, that really sucks (hurts). I hope the pills work for ya!

Called in my wife's best friend's husband who happens to be a furnace repair man and the diaphram was torn in the pressure switch. The gas valve was clicking on and off real fast and then it would just shut off the flame and refuse to come on again.
One pressure switch later and it was back up.

FLAVOXATE HCL, but these are only supposed to get me through the weekend. The regular doctor will come up with something permanent Monday. They are not supposed to regulate number of trips, just make the trip worthwhile by allowing you to be able to get rid of more than an ounce or two when it feels like ya gotta **** a qt.

You have been saying you wish you got some cold weather. Looks like you got it!! Congrats!! LMAO!!!
I'm watching the weather closely out that way. Got a three-day trip to Vegas (for work!) shortly, so I'm hoping for some nice weather!!
