3Pooches version 3.5

He's on a well in the country. Very little in the way of code requirements in 1950's, or from some of what he's seen, a plan... It looks like they pulled the line from the well to the house, then did a "T" to send water off to a cow trough from that line instead of from the well. Nothing he has found shuts off the water to the leak unless you shut off the well. He found a leak on the same line last year and capped it about 48" under ground. The supply side of the driveway is a good foot higher. We stopped digging and as we were cleaning up, I thought that maybe there was a junction box with with a T or a gate, but no visible signs. He's going to try and probe the area for a gate box. If we (he) can find it, we'll just cut the T out and solve the problem. If we can find it....

 

Gotcha. Good luck, and hope you all find it.

 

I talked to Matt & Dan yesterday, my neighbors who were on the Sleepy Creek ride, and they are interested in helping with the trail build. Both can only do Saturdays as their kids have soccer commitments on Sunday.

 

Tell them it's the rule that you have to ditch your kids.

 

Sounds good. Everyone okay with the 23rd?

 

I can do this.

 

Looks good from here.

 

I'm impressed. 92k miles. LS nation.

 

Are you installing chrome valve covers?

 

Are you hiding in the trees?

 

Replacing just one. This thing eats oil like crazy. I had zero desire to rebuild it and I've tried every single can of snake oil at the parts store. I stumbled across a TSB for excessive oil consumption. Requires a new cover that changes the PCV system.

 

Well hopefully it’s that easy and takes care of it.

 

Hope so. Easiest valve cover I've ever done.

 

Yes sir, hopefully I'll have the smoothies on by then. I only had a couple hours today to work on it, prepped the driver side for the upper mount so that it's ready to tack into place first thing Saturday.

 

Could always take off work and get it done. That's what I'm doing.

 

It wouldn't be unheard of.

 

I am still good to come out!

 

I have a big report due on the 23rd, so we'll see. maybe it will be a reward for me to come out
