Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Morning all,

Big big boss in the shop today, vaccination mandate looming near. Who blinks first

 

Good luck.

 

Ya' let the magic smoke out?

 

Hope it works out!

 

I'm going to be setting up 2 raised beds to grow a vegetable garden next year. Will be using 2 of these 8'x4' galvanized frames.

My biggest concern will be pests, as I'm already dealing with a recurring mealy bug issue. For that reason I'll be ditching all the potted plants I currently have and growing all new plants from seeds in January. Yall wish me luck!

 

That looks like it will save on the bending a bit.
I have seen it written "to garden a man needs an iron back with a hinge".

 

Judging by the smell of it, could be possible.
I hope it's something simple. I didn't see much on a Google search for this particular SOV, but would think that somewhere there is something compatible.

 

Yeah, it's 12" tall which is certainly better than the 6 or 8" I originally planned on. I've read much about gardeners back discomfort, so I'll be getting something to sit or kneel on when I have to work in the beds.

 

ours gave a dec 8 deadly for it. If you don't have it by then they are ready to fire you. Union rolled over on this one too.

 

Union rolled here too, Gov Ron Desantis has not. He's swinging big on this one, even if it's futile.
My employer has hired a 3rd party to handle(deny) religious exemption requests to lay blame elsewhere and limit their own personal liability. They've got us pretty well handcuffed.

Meanwhile it looks like taxpayer dollars funded the gain of function research that caused this outbreak.

 

Go figure. Better leave it at that though. Don't want us getting any hammers in here.

 

I'd scrub that metal real good before adding soil. Galvanizing will leach into the soil.

 

Did it trip the breaker or does it have a fused disconnect at the Lathe ??

I guess in any case you need to wait for the Sparkies Tuesday

 

Yeh I don't like being forced to get the jab but at the end of the day I'm not going to lose my job over it.

 

Good old McMaster-Carr can probably fix you up with something. If it is just a regular solenoid valve matching the port size, configuration and voltage is usually all that is needed. If it is part of a block assembly that usually calls for the direct fit part.

 

Yes them sparkies have helped me out a few times with diagnostic work, keep me out of trouble too. Plus letting them get a hand in it, they'll be able to manipulate the main breaker if needed.

No, these aren't on like a manifold or anything and have plenty of room in between them, so yeah basically figuring out what I need. Another thing I can check is the possibility of having spare parts in our warehouse. One of the original guys (even before my predecessors) ordered a bunch of spare parts. One example is circuit boards for our old series 2 mill. He was a smart fella to have the foresight to order this stuff before it became obsolete.

 

Thanks for the advice, I will. The whole reason I'm going with metal over lumber is because I was concerned the chemicals from the pressure treatment would contaminate the soil.

 

Just put black plastic down against the metal

 

Evening Shane and Company. I have not been in here in awhile I hope everyone is well.

 

I kinda seen that while getting caught up
