Well... I got invited/asked to take The Eight Nine to a show in Layton on Saturday. Not too sure on this one... roughly 120 miles round trip, no A/C on I-80 in this heat.



There's a good possibility of a YT collab if I go though, so.... I dunno.

 

Take it from someone who lives those temps all summer, Drive during the 68F with the windows down.
If you must do the 96F with no AC, keep moving.

 

I don't know squat about the iPhone. Android is my thing, but here I am transferring data from an old iPhone to a new one. It belongs to the owner of the company..... so I hope it works!

 

Might need to go hit this one... without my car though. BTW, this is quite a drive for Matt. I am waaaay closer than he is.

 

Digging up a camper clean-out today. Pipe plugged cleaning out the tanks. Sure am glad no one uses the shi-tter in that thing. Still, that old kitchen sink water has sower smell to it...not pleasant.

I'll take some picks once exposed. I did a PVC/CAST iron tap 4 years back. From the looks of it (inside the pipe), the PVC T dropped a little inside the Fernco connection (settling) leaving sort of a lip at the top. The Fernco is holding but the lip is collecting foreign matter from the house pipe. This is the same pipe the washer, kitchen sink drain into from the house. So...dig dig dig...re-align the pipe....back-fill....4 hours tops! I better get a move on lol.

 

First time failed. Joy!

Oh boy, that sounds lovely. I hope you get done quick!

 

Success on the iPhone!

This makes me smile when my car gets noticed....



When you pull in to the cars and coffee she is talking about, there are hundreds of spectators watching all of the cars come in and go. I heard a lot of comments on mine. Yep... does my heart a lot of good.

 

The heat took the fun out of it.

Exposed, -



Pipe dropped at Fernco, -



Fernco's slid back, pipes not aligned, -



Fixed, blocked and shimmed under the pipe, -



That was just a small part of the problem. The 4" cast pipe is 50 + years old. There's so much stuff stuck to the insides of pipe it breaks off in chunks plugs the pipe.

The gross pic, -

 

Noobs is it humid where you're at? BTW, don't know if I told you my Buddy that owns the trans shop... his sister lives in Virginia.

Brew, what the heck is in the pipe? Leaves? Nice to see a fellow DeWalt user

 

White, it is always humid in Virginia. Spring and Summer is just more so than fall and winter.
People here wouldn't think of owning a car without AC. First two questions you ask about a used car is " it have a state inspection?" and " Air conditioner work?". Then you look at the car.
Back when I had work trucks without AC we would try to travel at night during the summer. I guess that is a southern thing, you wouldn't understand.

JBrew, Been there done that. Most places I've lived in all the life I remember has had septic tanks and drainfields. Gotta dig up the top for the pump truck every few years. Evey so often I gotta dig up the pipe from the tank to the mixing box to do exactly what you are doing. Great fun (not)! During hurricanes you really gotta be light on the water use and you may still end up with a yard full of ****.
