Thanks everyone for the moral support. A little over eight weeks later, the construction - development company did come forward to pay us close enough to the actual costs. As far as I know they after 6 weeks got a phone call from one of the assistant city attorneys to resolve if possible...

Sparkey, Recently, we stopped at a local locksmith to have a spare key made for plug style Medeco locks for our bill changer. The locksmith could do it but recommended both new locks, keys, & the housing that the plug fits into. He could tell by examining it the level of wear making the extra...

Earl, Does the duplexing speakerphone work really clear without any choppy cut off words? That would be very important to our 3 line setup. After you checked into VOIP ... did the VOIP phones turn out to be too high risk &/or complicated? mike

As far as people following his suggestions... I think it is wishful thinking to think that the majority of them will keep the meter running while playing with the numerous buckets. During the video, he also said to paraphrase a bit ... that if the vehicle is extra dirty, muddy, & grease...

JGinther, We actually have had the same potential as you describe & even more so because of the -30° F design of our system & North Dakota winters. I think you will find that by the time the concrete deicing slab lowers to even close to that low of temperature the no heat condition will be...

JGinther, We have similar issues as to the space for the larger tanks vs wall mount plus heat exchangers except in our case the water serves laundromat washing machines instead of your plus 2 automatics. Have you compared the different brands & models of heat exchangers at this point in your...

Anybody use the Lights of America brand flourescents? I have few ... the ballast consists of a small printed circuit board. I was tempted to screw in a 120 VAC into its bulb socket. I am glad I did not because my multimeter is showing a steady 22.6 VAC instead of 120 VAC. The fixture that we...

I wonder if this oiler would be good enough for this purpose: http://www.amazon.com/Automatic-Inline-Air-Tool-Oiler/dp/B004JBF55Q I suppose full strength anti freeze would make sense since water might go by. I suppose Polypropylene RV Antifreeze would be safer for pets in case they would lick...

Ghetto Wash & others, Something to consider ... if an operator's state has a use tax (which is the equivalent of the sales tax amount you would have paid) ... a gotcha audit could come back to haunt the operator whether he was aware of the use tax technicality or not. Myself & others speak...

We have found that KleenRite has improved their extension of the free shipping even on back ordered items which has also been a plus. Maybe it is just me but I find it not pleasant when I order items from whoever & find that some items are back-ordered & shipped later ... nickel & dime-ing us...

LOL ... You guys are a hoot!!! There probably are some elites in Detroit & some other cities who lived in more socially elevated parts of their cities who actually do miss some of the specific agendas & criteria etc. I listened to John McCain on Charlie Rose last night & Senator McCain made a...
