The post whore thread.

That nap was pretty alright. Now if the rest of the weekend can go that way too, that would be great.

For the plumbing issue worked out. Fortunately, the reason the carpet was wet in the living room is because my aquaponic system was leaking. I thought the old cat iron sewer main had collapsed and I was going to have to jack hammer up the concrete slab my house sits on. Phew.

Just kidding guys. Still have water coming up in very specific, small spots on my carpet. This is of great concern because my house is on a slab. ALL the spots are coming from directly above where the sewer main is buried. Well, at least two of the three cars we own are undrivable right now as well. So that's nice. This year can't end soon enough.

Sorry dude.

Well, I've got the carpet pulled back right now. Can't really see anything because of the asbestos tiles over the concrete. Right now it looks like it might just be that the carpet pad soaked up the 40 or so gallons of water, and since I dried the carpet, the water is just leaking back through. I've got some fans going and I'll just check on it over the weekend and see if any new water shows up. I ran the bathtub and flushed the toilet for about 5 minutes and everything seems to be draining just fine and I didn't see any new water.

Exactly what I do.

I used a piece of bailing wire.

Alas, on the heavy cuts, the saw and vacuum on the same breaker trips it.

Easy fix. Just pull your workbench outside and run your saw off the outlet by the porch, then use an extension cord to run the vacuum out of the garage. You're welcome.

what's the amp draw using ext cords? You generate more heat and draw with a light ext cord. We use basic ones for close work. Long distance and it's 10ga, DRAW BABY, DRAW

Damn that sucks Irving. Evening jim HB OBC and brutal.

Well, after a few hours of fans running. My latest conclusion is that the carpet pad has soaked up 20-40 gallons of water over the last few days. Carpet pad really holds in the water, so when I would dry the top of the carpet, an hour later and it'd be wet again because the pad was still FULL of water. I've pulled back as much carpet and pad as I can without moving the fish tank. I'll probably get rid of the fish and move the tank tomorrow and get everything dry. Just as long as the main line and floor are in good shape, then I can deal with fish tank water.

Short cord. Afternoon sun beating down on the panel. This whole house was undersized for load. The window A/C in my office (spare room) can trip the breaker when it's really hot out and if I have the stereo going. I have a lot of computer stuff in here, but most of it is on another circuit with the other BR.

The draw on that garage circuit is already heavy. I should run another line but it's 180* on the opposite side of the house from the panel. PITB
