yea not complaining at all.

 

It's 20 above this morning.
That's 30 degrees "warmer" than yesterday.
That's a good thing..I think.

 

Morning all. It's 20+ degrees warmer than yesterday and it's still damn cold (15F today)!

Hooray! I get to go to work...

 

You and I were thinking the same thing, I see.

 

Oh Son of a bitch. This is a 5 day week. I haven't experienced one of those since early October...

 

Y’all Have A Great Morning!

 

Only 5 days ???

 

forgot year '63

 

I feel like I was beat up with a bat.
Every muscle sore. Joint ache.
Sugars are high.
WTH.

Hopefully this won’t turn into pluricy or bronkitis.

 

Buna dimineata

 

5 a week is enough...

 

Always loved the split windows!

 

Not the weather for that

 

Tell that to my boss

 

32 deg here today. Another 8” of snow last night and still snowing.

 

@Kolunatic
Curious if this is true this comes from the Garage Forum guy asked about running pipe for his compressor .. first mistake was mentioning pvc or copper lol but someone mentioned pex and another put this up

" My opinion is that I wouldn't have a problem using pex if I could run the pex inside the wall cavity, and then stub out with copper or black iron. This would be to protect the pex from light which degrades it over time, as well as physical protection, but mostly because it looks terrible and is nearly imposible to run straight and nice and neat".

Specifically the statement that pex can be degraded by light I presume he means sunlight. I am aware it is damaged by UV but in a shop environment ie just sunlight from windows Is enough to damage it ?

Morning all

 

Supposed to rain here soon, that means another storm will be heading east

 

I'll chime it what little I know....short answer: yes.
We've been installing pex a lot at work. We roll it out then shield it with a black corruated drain type pipe 1) so the black pipe warms it up better so we can get it to lay flat and 2) just to keep it from soaking up the rays, even though it's only out for 1/2 day or so. The exposed pex we have is in dark alleyways in the maintenance chases where there is little to no traffic and only artificial light. When we bury it, the shielding stays on for more protection against rocks.
