Alabama thread!

No, even if I did, I wouldn't buy that! Id build the 4Runner to my liking! Lol

 

I wish! But the only t-birds are in a different squadron.... Not mine.

 

Sounds pretty sweet. I'm interested to see what you've got. We'll work something up.

 

Anybody here ever replaced the pressure balance valve in a shower/tub? What were the symptoms?

 

same as a clogged drain. luckily mine turned out to be a clogged drain. chunk of dried drywall mud from when they redid some walls right before i bought the house.

 

same as a clogged drain? clogged drains typically don't have anything to do with temperature or pressure...

 

Hell I thought you were talking about the burp valve in the drain! you are talking about the fixture part, i just changed ours out around august or september... PAIN IN THE ASS!!!

btw, Im not an engineer so i dont know technical names of stuff, just know when something is broken how to go about fixing it. guys at the hardware store dont seem to mind.

 

Yeah, I think it's going to be a pain in the ass. Especially since I don't have shut off valves and will have to cut off water to the house.

In the last 2-3 months my water pressure in the master shower has dropped to almost nothing and I have to keep it as hot as it will go just to stay warm. I figure theres nothing else there but the balancer that could be issue.

weird thing though is that my tub is on the same valve and it gets plenty of hot water.

 

Anyone in the Alabama thread have any 15" wheels for sale?

 

I never knew those things ever existed. Apparently I've never had one. I can tell when I'm in the shower and Tanya starts brushing her teeth.

 

every house has had some type of balancer since the mid 80's. Some are volume based, some are pressure based. Most new ones are pressure based. It's mandated by state law. When she brushes her teeth you probably notice a loss in pressure. Unless maybe you don't and it burns you every time she brushes her teeth haha.

 

Actually, it is the opposite. She uses hot water and I end up freezing. Maybe I need to check my balancer!

 

yep. if you take off the handle to turn the water on, you should be able to see in there

 

Some of us from Pensacola are heading to Daphne Trail at the end of the month. Who's in?

Gah, just got back trying to buy a Ridgid TS3650 table saw from a guy. Bottom dollar was damn $300, which I'd maybe pay if the thing was in flawless shape, so I went to check it out.

Rusty top, lost the miter gauge, blade guard, riving knife entirely, throat plate's all scratched, blade is worn, button fell off the on/off switch when he hit it. "If you want to spend even $290 on it you can go on down the road."

 

just go harbor freight

but seriously.

 

HF table saw? I'm good.

 

what, are you making cabinets or something?

 

Eh... I am a fan of HF for some things, but not a table saw. I also want to buy one saw once and have it for years. And yeah, I'm starting to play with woodworking a bit, I'm already over dealing with the small size and small fence of the dewalt jobsite saw I have, although it's very nice otherwise.

Got a big older dewalt contractor's saw, belt-driven with a cast iron top, in great condition, finally! So now I'm all set like, literally forever.
