    So do you use the dishwasher? Both drains are on the same line downstream from the dishwasher. The issue is powder dish wash soap. The solid particles settle out and form what will appear as grease. Stop using power soap. Use only liquid dish soap in the dish machine. The powder soap will...

    Online Selling and Shipping Costs

    I am of the opinion that, USED items sold via whatever means should not be taxed. Tax was paid once when it was newly purchased. Why should i pay sales tax on a used item? I know used car and truck are taxed again and again. But they have titles.

    water heater failed .. need a new one ... tankless?

    I do not have a UPS on the power supply. I have not experienced a power outage yet. There is a button available, that you can use to activate the tank. I think it is hard wired and you have to activate it ahead of time. My tank is in the basement on the south wall. The master bath is on the...

    water heater failed .. need a new one ... tankless?

    I like this unit because it vents via regular PVC. B-vent is very expensive. Like $50 for 3 foot. I recommend the timer control MC-195T-US. As I said before the included WiFi unit is terrible and so is the app. Look up RinnaiGuy on utube. Lots of good information from him. Realize that...

    water heater failed .. need a new one ... tankless?

    Hello, Pipefitter here, If your buying a tankless to save money, you won’t be saving money. They cost more to operate in water usage and fuel. Tankless tanks only heat water so hot. They rate them in “rate of rise”. So you have to know the ground water temperature to calculate how much hot...

    Help with Information about Cleveland, Ohio

    I live and worked in Cleveland. I was a pipefitter. I traveled East, West and south. I would suggest the near west side. Brooklyn, Parma and Cleveland. Cleveland is not like most cities.

    E Bikes

    I agree 100% with you. But, after looking at EB company, I chose to convert my own bikes. Better faster and less money. I used a cycle shop call LUNA Cycles. BafangUSA has similar stuff, but i felt there batteries were sub par, whereas LUNAs are TOP of the line. My kit was $650 and the battery...

    I have traveled a lot. Almost always independently. I have used travel agents for certain types of air travel. For instance if you are flying different air partners on a leg. Or open jaw flights. I have also used them when there is a big language barrier. Like China. Sometimes it’s good to have...

    EBAY: Buying Selling

    USPS will pick up Priority Mail and first class mail. If you have a parcel post or media mail and include it with the first two they will pick it all up. In my experience parcel post and priority cost about the same amount, within a few cents. You have to have a commercial address and account...

    Preparing for changes

    The workers will get paid. It’s more of a cash flow problem for them. They should have saved up for a rainy day. It not the first time this happened. Being a retired construction worker I learn this the first week off. You don’t overextended yourself.
