1. Clamp a 220v, 50A circuit to the water main.
2. Probe ground with a volt meter. |

Good thought, though. If Aero electrocutes himself, it will no longer be a problem for him. |

She's about 4'11" and under 100lbs...probably 90-95. Owns her house...no raccoons.
Have to settle for a Halloween picture. (Picture removed) |

Cutie! Thread delivers! Invite her to join the VB, and you should probably take her out to dinner and a show.....to talk about the plumbing issues, ostensibly.

Many years ago, I was firmly planted in the "friendzone" so no investment is being made. Just being helpful if I can be.

Let me tell you, Gods truth here. One of my working buds (he's 66) here and I still keep in touch and do lunch once a month. For several years now he has been taking care of a lady who is now 90. She had a husband and 2 adult kids. Husband died 20 years ago. Daughter died in a car accident and the son shot himself. So, she was alone and slowly asking for help with this and that. About 5 years ago, she moved in with and his wife. Sold her home in the upscale area. She made them the only heirs for which she has a net worth of around 5 mil. So keep doing what you do with her, you never know. |

I had her watch what I did and I explained everything I checked and why. I explained why some things are ruled out and some others could be the cause. I told her what to tell the plumbing companies she calls so they will know she isn't at their mercy. I feel sorry for the elderly and for still feminine women. Anyone else that is helpless...tough titties. Should have gotten your hands dirty a long time ago. |

When I help neighbors and they want to pay, I ask for a bottle of whiskey instead. It makes them feel that they are not taking advantage of me.

Then he looked at the fuse box and found another problem.....grounds had been run to a neutral bar by the builder, and the code enforcement didn't catch it. He fixed that for me, too, and I haven't had any trouble since. Never did get that whole new fuse box. I suspect the guy wanting to sell me that saw the incorrect wiring to neutrals, figured that was the problem and figured I was good for a complete rewiring with a new fuse box. I'll admit to bein |
