Yup 60 out Thursday took the 85 out to wash it and snowing hard must be squall , accuweather said some flurries today . Have a couple of inches already oh well snow won’t hurt it

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

That snow joke!

I uncovered this double historic tag from '85. I think it came from my '55 Chevy wagon. Now could be used as a year of manufacture on an '85. Too bad my '85 Jimmy is gone

i have a '85....(hint, hint):lol:

Took this Photo leaving Home Depot a couple of years ago. Can't make this stuff up.

That’s tailgater mitigation right there

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Ha ha. Too bad you couldn't run it, though. The whole time I had that Jimmy that door it's hung on had a work bench in front of it. I did have historic tags on it and could have registered that plate as YOM. I guess I need another '85. I wish I still had that one. Talk about fuel prices. That thing got 22-15 mpg
Yeah. Anyone following close enough to catch the first board to slip out of that haphazardness deserves to be taught to think more

I do really miss the Jimmy. It was an easy rig to buy, fix up, enjoy, and unfortunately sell. If it wasn't raining, the sides were rolled up!

Picture from my deck. Whiskey Flat Days. The rodeo is a stone's throw away from me. It was an endless line of people all day. The place was packed. Standing room only. No parking. I had to put out traffic cones to keep people from parking in my driveway. That's why the Corvette and the Jeep are parked out front. Otherwise I'd have to park a mile away.

But it was fun. We must have had 30 people we know stop by to check out the new place. :alc:

I'm cursed with unwanted duplicate posts. Ever feel like telling your device, "Leave me alone!"? I hate grammar check. "But I wanted to say that wrong. I ain't tryin' to be no stinkin' Ha'va'd English major, fer cry'n out loud!" :lol:

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Oh you, say it so well. :lol:

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

It's going okay. Still no internet and the toilet was backing up. I had the plumbers come out and they confirmed my suspicions. I have 2 big trees in the yard and the roots are wreaking havoc with my pipes. They ran a camera down there and it wasn't pretty.

The trouble is that I don't want to cut down the trees. So they cleared the lines and said if I didn't cut them down that they'd be back. I guess that's the price I have to pay for my beautiful old trees.

I liked this old Forest Service truck that parked in front of my house.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

have you looked into CIPP?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cured-in-place_pipe

I was facing the same dilemma and after consulting with several plumbing companies decided to go for it..

wasn't cheap, something like $75/foot, about $6500 from the house to the street.. estimate to remove trees and excavate was over $10k, and we'd lose the trees.. it was well worth it, haven't had a single drain issue in over 8 years.. and regardless of the costs, sewer issues stink!

the first couple of years we owned the house we had numerous drain issues ranging from $250 snakes - $1000 jetting..

host piping has to be suitable though, no major offsets etc. but once it's done, it's rated for stand alone duty, the host can rot completely away..

100 year design life and we got a 25yr warranty through contractor that installed ours..

good luck!

sewer line runs between driveway and those two big trees, the trunk on the corner tree is huge!

I thought predictive text was based on learning from the words that you tell it... ; )

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I will defiantly look into CIPP. I have heard of it and actually recommended it to a friend several years ago. His problem was in the cement slab of his house and they were going to rip up his floors to repair it. I can't believe that I forgot about that.(Duh) My front yard is really small so hopefully it wont be too bad price wise. This last plumbing bill was $1800 but that was for jetting and a bunch of miscellaneous stuff.

Sewer problems are the worst. Imagine my horror when I knew people were coming over and the toilet in my one and only bathroom took a dump on me. :eek:

It reminds me of an old house where I rented a room from my buddy. We had a party and the toilet backed up with a bunch of people there. I told him that the toilet was overflowing and was flooding the bathroom. He was pretty drunk and told me to drill some holes in the floor. :lol:

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Please no random pictures you took of backed up toilet. Again, please!

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I wont or you would never eat chili again. :lol:

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

uhm, you do know how this works right? :lol:

of course I don't have any gross pictures like that - however I do have this little gem I'm saving for posterity ;)

super trooper from the commode brigade tangled in some root intrusion - left by one of our guests of a kids party :rolleyes:

only positive thing that came of it was finding the root intrusion early and treating it before any slab damage..

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

If my toilet could flush that down I wouldn't need a plumber. That's impressive.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

And he made it without any scuba gear! :lol:

ca homeowners will get it ;)

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Unfortunately I get it. :waah:

I never got the logic behind the low flow toilets that you have to flush 5 times. How does that save water?
