And, when the heat is on, the pipes are cool to the touch?

 

I am waiting for stat to try and kick on in auto versus man just to see
When that happens I will go and check to see outcome
Or should I just set temp higher to see outcome?
But yes only the pipes beyond that valve are cool
Real appreciate input from everyone

 

Turn both stats up at the same time check

 

Just so you know, I didn’t look really hard before, but the car valve in the photo you posted is leaking. You can tell by the efflorescence on the valve body, looks like a really slow seep.

The pipes that the valves are soldered into should not be cool if the heat is on, they pipes will be hot to the touch otherwise, they aren’t pushing heat.

 

Congrats man!

 

Posted this in the NE BST thread also. Willing to be pretty flexible for ya'll on price or take trades...things of that nature.

Finally got the SOS IFS skid on this morning and don't feel like trying to mount the TRD skid so she's outta here.

 

House is coming along, started rough in for electric, plumbing will be done by the end of the month if not week and insulation is set up for first week of december, followed by drywall. Going to finish the roof and build out the back deck in the next two weeks as well (as long as it stays somewhat dry).

 

@Bridge4 Just a heads up, you might want to take down the second picture. OSHA would have a field day with your siding contractor... I tried PMing you but your settings don't allow it. Looks like good progress though!

 

Were those not approved supports? Took the pic down now it didn't happen

 

Haha! I just finally checked back in to TW and saw this......been in the woods without service all weekend....after plowing for 12 hours the day before.

 

Supports were fine, just about everything else was ‘questionable’. I wasn’t trying to be an ass, you just never know who’s watching and their fines are very hefty!

 

No you are right, better safe than sorry with that stuff! I appreciate the heads up

 

They did buy them. But as mentioned above, they're pricier and people were used to using a straight blade. Plus, a standard straight blade has less to go wrong with it than a V. And people like sticking with what's proven when they invest big $$ in a plow; I know several people who bought the original Fisher EZ-Vee when they first came out, and wish they could still buy one (because they're used to it) even though the new V's are technically superior.

 

@Bridge4 How much snow up in your neck of the woods?

 

Careful or maybe I'll hire you this spring haha

 

Not much new tonight yet, maybe 1/4 inch. But we didn't have a huge melt off yet, dogs were walking on top of the snow today. I'd say we still have 4-5 inches from the storm the other night.

 

The base is there. Anything new is gravy.
Now just gotta get the same results in the "lowlands".

 

I've been told buy a guy that services them, that a V plow can save you 20% of time on a driveway.

 

Are the V plows any heavier? That could make a difference to the guys trying to plow with a half ton

You can’t afford me

Working in a crawl space with that crap was absolutely miserable. Crawling in the dirt, dragging lines for the spray, sweating my balls off in the damn tyvek suit. It was a pretty terrible experience.

 

The pool will be open, bring the kiddos!
