Oh oh's Tim, you started something here. If you get too many questions, we might have to create a separate forum for you so all the questions don't end up in one thread! LOL. We'll watch it for awhile first.

BarbP,

Do you see a 'new friends' link or something like that at the top? If so, click on it and add me as a friend. Then you should see the 'my profile space' button. If not, holler back.

Hi Bill, The spell-checking mod is in the works. I see by your profile you are a programmer. How familiar are you with PHPBB?

If your snake has a small head on it, it might be going right around or thru the blockage without disengaging it. Although that's more common for grease clogs from the kitc...

I have a small brake, but it's really too small to be much good for doing facias or siding.

For those who don't know, a brake is a tool that bends metal.

Do you think running a diesel generator is cheaper than just using electricity to charge the batteries? Anyway to compare costs?

You're always thinking -- I like that.

JD,

What a great description and illustration. I hope you don' t mind, but I'm going to change the title of the topic for easier searching by others. Good info like this needs to be found!

If you see it, click on the red exclamation point in the upper right corner of the post. This will report it and any moderator can deal with it. Note to moderators: If ...
