Oh yea? Not sure I've connected with @splat since I was a fresh faced college kid 15 years ago and my parents were worried after I told then I would be meeting strangers from the internet to go for a bike ride at night.
I'd take inspected DYI jobs over
Also - dumb DIY motherfuckers.
jobs any day of the week.Fuck plumbers.
Last night, I delivered my Turner RFX to its new owner. It should have felt sad, but I went full-on putting the best components of what I had on the frame for her, and the bike looked and rode fantastically. Literally got the warm fuzzies knowing she's going to be using it to ride her best rides and that it won't be sitting in storage somewhere with me taking up space. I'll get some on-trail pics when the murder spree here dies down (GET IT?) and we can ride again.
(Actually the spree is over, but the parks are gonna stay closed for a bit, booooo...luckily going to hike with the fam for the next week, first a live volcano in Guatemala and then the highest point in Salvador. At least I'm not missing any good rides while I'm away now?)
@jackalope, that Fox Vanilla went with the Turner, FYI. It shall ride on.

Fun fact, it is illegal for anyone to work on plumbing in the great state of MA except for a licensed plumber. There isn't even the exception of having a DIY job inspected post-completion by a building inspector.
Good stuff.
Is the answer Freedumb?
I'd like to know if electrical work or gas work has the same restriction. Given that those are the actual dangerous utlities.
I suspect the answer is "yes"...
Found the air spring for Haley's bike. Only a warranty part from SRAM. Shop had to call SRAM sales, who called SRAM service to get the part. $95 later... It's inbound. Fucking child and her bike. But the geometry will be right again. When it's time to sell this bike, I think I might be able to make a profit, given how many hard to get and high demand parts are attached to it.
you know how most laws like this exist because someone fucked something up bad enough they needed a law to stop it from happening again? this one is a story i'd like to hear.

At $20/5 week program through the rec center, I just say 'okay'.
Water heater bomb is my guess. Or someone majorly fucked up fresh/waste lines. Or someone blew up their house with faulty gas plumbing.
Shit, there are enough ors that the law, at least on the surface, isn't that outlandish.
Like the one you wanted to make?
Plumbing is all hidden behind walls, so prospective home buyers never really know if the work is sound or sketch-tacular. It's not like electrical that'll kill you, but a poorly fixed slab leak can be a massive problem 10 years on. Same law is probably on the books in all 50 States, and enforced just about never.
I would bet that the insurance carriers lobbied for that law, and probably are in most states. Subrogation and settlement is a lot easier when you have a clear party to point the finger at. Ie: licensed plumber. The number of home claims dealing with water from internal plumbing is very high and the repairs are equally high.
Boss sent me on a two hour one way trip to calibrate a co2 analyzer. It would work better if he included the correct flow meter for the cal gas.
Not in Vermont.
Solar company I was hemming and hawing with just shifted their proposal to drop their loan rate by 1.5% to sub-inflation level. Even with their new term it (interest)costs me 50% less. WOW! They want this deal done.
No idea what the laws are in the states I have lived in as I would do my own plumbing anyway. Well except for sewer lines. I'll hire people to deal with shit.
Oh, shit! I didn't realize you were near Warsaw. Maybe lunch tomorrow?
Today was an absolute cluster and I knew it going in. Things appeared to be sorted when I left the customer site today.
Face time me, you wont be disappointed
Hell ya, I’ll show you the best shit hole Warsaw has to offer
In town for orthopedic things? That’s about the only reason anyone comes here. We do actually have a mtb trail in town too.
Sunrun. Tesla ended up being slightly cheaper, but less flexibility regarding known forward build out. They would only build to 100% usage, so no sell back built-in. Sunrun is building at 120%, so allowing for sell back and if be add an electric vehicle in the future - we will - we have capacity already.
Yeah, but there is a lot of pressure on the job.
I am pretty sure you don’t. The last thing the world needs is yet another display of shortsighted petty nationalism. Or if you do you should only fly the UN flag.
took kiddo to lift at the y; now back into work to give a short talk. woohoo.
Unfortunately, I haven't had a day off in a few weeks and it's not likely to happen until Easter? Damn kids and their gymnastics and extra curriculars and I'm also music directing The Addams Family Musical so I pretty much am at school 6-7 days a week and at gymnastics when I am not there.I mean... if you only work until Wednesday... then yes, it is Friday.
