I think that was ordered from the back of a magazine if my memory serves me.
If the guy doing the job is not the owner of that company I would be screaming at the owner to get someone else competent enough to do the job. That sucks.Good morning Passion peeps. Gonna be a day just like yesterday. The gas guy left yesterday frustrated that he had some fittings that he said were faulty and leaked several of them. He hooked up a temporary line so we could have hot water last night. Shortly after he left maybe a couple of hours we passed thru the room to find water leaking from the temporary inlet line to the hot water heater. The room was halfway covered in water on the floor not quite reaching my grow tent. I shut the valve off, turned the hot water heater to pilot only and put something down to catch the leaking water so it wouldn’t cover the whole floor with water. Had to empty it three times before it finally stopped leaking, well down to a slow drip anyway. He’s due back today and said he feels pretty good that he will be finished today and we will have heat tonight.
was unable to get my kidney stent out until I take enough antibiotics to get rid of a UTI that my urine sample showed. I have to say the recovery from this surgery has been miserable. Hopefully the antibiotics we’ll help this some. Normally I have a high resistance to pain but this has been chipping away from that making me more whimpey than normal for me anyway. Looking forward to being on the other side of this hill
hope everyone has a sweet day. Gonna sneak a little water to my girls to tied them over till they are back in their normal environment. My tent this morning was 50F with 60% humidity.
the inside tent had the same readings and my two girlcrush plants had a bit of wilting. I gave them a sip of water first thing to see if they perk up in a couple hours.
but for now, I’m gonna catch me a little buzz to start my day a little better.
I know. He is not the owner. The owners wife just passed and her funeral was Monday. We are trying to be patient. Gas mechanics are hard to come by these days. We called several Heating/AC places that didn’t even have a gas mechanic. Seems like a good trade to get into for a young person…
I wonder if he has ever even installed that type of heater before
Most installers work with units they are very familiar with so they can almost install them in their sleep and not run into a "faulty Fittings Problem" sounds like a song a dance to me.
Good Luck, you do not need the extra stress right now Im sure. Are your Temps cold like the rest of the Country has been?
Make sure the pipes in the basement dont freeze

Thanx big
Yes I just learned about these new fittings. They basically just push together and are suppose to give a good seal. The temporary one that he installed was cocked (not parallel) so I’m pretty sure at least that one was installed incorrectly. I’ve done a lot of pipe fitting in my day just don’t know gas systems except for maybe submarine O2 systems… just got a call they are on their way. Fingers crossed for a better day

You're welcome, Ness! Hope something in there works for you.
Bad news on the plumbing and stent! Good luck on both and commiseration on the stent! Adding the complication of a UTI has to make it miserable.Good morning Passion peeps.

I think those are Shark Bite connections.
You all will look sick *******s
Actually I didn't, but after you said that we all would, I clicked on quote to tell you that, and behold the picture is right there in your quote without having to push your button.
They sure are making training aids more realistic now
Duly noted. Can't be for Lifeguard training, because there is no life left there to guard.
Maybe shock and awe value alone
More of a prop now that I went deeper on research
