I talked with these folks too. Then they left it all f'd up. So when the local service company came to the house 100 times trying to sell me something, I repeatedly tell them the issues I have and they just go down the same road talking about Federal funds paying the cheapest people possible - our crew would never do that, they are the best. The bore crew that messed it all up was from Texas.

Ugh...

Yeah, this was all in- house and local, so no scorched earth practices.
 
So, does putting ant bait out, when you see them in the house, stop Ants, or just attract more of them that you would not have had otherwise?

If we are actually talking ants, then I used to have to at my old house. A liquid went on card board. They would gather around and take it back. All gone in a day or so

Every spring (around this time) I put a line of borax around my house... no ants all summer... insects die from boric acid and it makes a huge difference.

That's the red gel I'm using... they've been at it for a couple of weeks now. I keep reloading the cardboard squares

The stuff I used was clear. The ants we got went for sweets. Apparently different ants are attracted to different bait. Weeks seems like a long time.

They were putting in new service in our area last fall. It was free to run it up to house but don’t have to sign up while they were in the area. I have a ways up driveway, across front of house and around the side. They screwed up the yard doing it and now I’m fling in with black dirt and putting down seed

All the rural areas here are getting Fiber now too. Federal monies paid out of state contractors to tear up everybody's yards while they bury/trench it in. Didn't fix anything on their way. My yard has been messed up for 2 years. Now local companies can use those lines and bug me 3-4 days a week about hooking up. I keep telling them after begging for the service, they destroyed sections of my property and refuse to fix it, now you want me to buy the service from you? F Off..

The chest freezer looks like it became partially unplugged. The lid may have hit the plug as it plugs in above it on the floor joist. Human error here. As for the furnace blower, not sure the issue with it yet. Thanks though Rich

There is something called a freezer alarm. Could save a feller some grief..

So, where to start. Good Morning Everyone I guess. It was down to 63 in the house. Checked, the blower on the furnace is super hot and stuck. I got it turning but it wont light due to it being an issue. Grrrr. I will be just fine for a few weeks likely but will want the AC soon I suspect. And the deep freezer quit sometime while we were gone. Blood all over the floor. So everything that is in there is garbage. Only thing that bothers me in there was all the Alaska salmon. Dammit. Oh well, it will be just fine, just a shitty start to a day.

It's all about value. He may pay $50 for a dinner at a restaurant and get up the next morning and poop it all out. The training to save his life (or others around him) is priceless. He just thinks he knows all he needs to know about the subject. His loss!

Agreed. I grew up around firearms but have no clue whatsoever how to handle a handgun. Frankly, they terrify me. Im my mind its too easy to make a mistake..

Lubricate the bearings on the blower with Break-Free. It dissolves the varnish lubes the bearings
 
Doing sheet metal today, the filler panel for the cowl. Hindsight tells me i should have made multiple panels.

I think that's the propaganda machine making folks uneasy. I've done a LOT of Stupid Human Tricks without any random things occurring :thumbsup:
 
Morning, windy again today. Getting old, can't stand to be outside, will work on the barracuda today.

Not sure when it quit. It was likely when we were gone the last 2 weekends, so unless it is Bluetooth to let me know via my phone, but then nobody was around to do anything about it anyway. I can look into it, Thank you
 
my pinion seal is leaking... on a 742 can i just pull the yoke and put the new seal in and airgun it back together? no crush sleeve or anything? I assume the torque spec is 3 hits of the air gun?

I believe you are correct having no crush sleeve in a 742. 240ftlbs is the spec
 
i hate leaks sooo much.. center section has new gears in it but i don't think he changed the seal... or it might have sat for 20 years.. dunno. Was given to me so i can't complain..
