You know you're in trouble when....(add to the list!)
Comments (123)A friend on a non-hippi list sends a photo of her cool CAKE and there is a hippi in the background. She replies that she knows nothing of this Apple Blossom (not an AB) and you say that it looks like Pink Diamond and suggest she looks it up on the internet. She replies that she did a GOOGLE search for Pink Diamond and lo and behold her search reveals a photo that you took posted on this photo. She then refers to you as a wealth of knowledge and starts bombarding you with questions...and of course you encourage her to join the FORUM!!

Comments (31)On a 6006, the wire from the electrical panel or some other control box goes to screw R and is either directed to screws B or W depending upon the temperature of the boiler and the dial setting. On a temperature drop below the setting, the power is applied from Screw R to screw B, which is usually hooked to the burner and the burner turns on. At the same time, power to screw W is dropped, shutting off the circulator. If I only wanted to use the circulator when the temperature was above the dial setting, I would only use the W screw with a wire to the circulator....See Moreadding a water tank to well system
Comments (10)I was once employed as a private water treatment specialist and solved a very similar, even worse problem. Flow was just under 2gals/min, and well pumped down in 11-12 minutes. Installed 2000gallon holding tank, influent (supply to holding tank) treated with chlorine injection - to allow required contact time for sanitation. Pumped from holding tank with Grundfos QD(?)35 110volt, inline aeration venturi, then through a 20" carbon block filter to remove the chlorine. As far as the well pumping down in 11 minutes, it then would take 3-4 minutes for the well volume to return.. I solved with an electric timer (like ones used for electric water heaters, but found one with a pin for each minute. Set it to feed power to the pressure switch for 10 minutes, then cut power to the pressure switch for 4 minutes. A float switch inside the tank killed the pressure switch as well. Surface contamination has already occurred down the well, this is why we sanitize wells and plumbing systems, through to all the points of use, with chlorine from time to time. Also, holding tanks are not "open tanks", they are very closed - in fact, they even have a screw on 18" cap. An open tank would have just vented off the chlorine, nixing any sanitization; requiring chlorine injection AFTER the holding tank. Has worked great for 7 years now with minimal maintenance, Also should note that it supplies water to a 4 bedroom, 5 bath, fully occupied home for family of 7....See MoreHow to add curb appeal to this boring, ugly, side entry lake home.
Comments (20)If the windows with the view are a bedroom and bathroom, does that bathroom have another exterior wall in which you might add a window so any escaping sounds and smells from the bathroom do not open onto the deck? Have you considered sliding glass doors in the bedroom and/or (if the floor plan enables it) changing around the purposes of the rooms so the bedroom by the deck becomes a more used room .... such as could a dining room become a bedroom and the bedroom become a dining room? and/or build another bedroom and bath upstairs above the bedroom and bath on the main floor so the deck side bedroom might become a bonus room/den? Adding a downstairs entry facing the "front" (photographer) could be a good idea, depending upon the layout of the home. However, if the current main entry is beneath the deck, you might consider turning the garage into a sun room or screened porch that wraps around to become the entry unless you actually need/want another opening facing "front" (photographer). Do at least first consider what that would do to the interior of the room in which you're adding the entry. Does the room lend itself to that change? What side of the house is north/south/east/west -- will that impact your decision?...See Morejrb451
