Too much hassle, higher fees, slow pay.

Some pressure vessels require pressure testing with a liquid on a regular basis. Examples are portable fire extinguishers, welding tanks, 5 gallon and larger propane tanks, trucks and trailers hauling pressurized gasses. I have never been able to figure how compressors are not on the list...

As a licensed contractor, I am allowed to run natural gas, but not propane. Propane is a special license in Oregon.

The purpose of the 18" clearance from the floor is because of gas fumes and other flammable gases. When I put a wood stove in my garage, I had a stand built for the stove. I had the stand frame built of 1" square tubing, with expanded metal for the bottom, and sides. Flat stock made the feet...

Lovely picture of a lovely ********!

if you are in an area where contractor licenses and permits are required, turn him in. Although, if your building officials are like some I have to work with, nothing will be done.

When I put a wood stove in my shop, code called for the fire box to be 18" above the floor. I had a base welded up from expanded metal. Now I have wood storage under the stove.

Not me. I thought of the anvil my girlfriend brought home from her storage unit. It was her dad's anvil, used in his logging, ranching business. It now is her son's anvil. And it should have gone to him, he will use it on his farm.

We drill through S/S sheet metal. So we go through the bits. Does the Drill Doctor actually work? Or is it cheaper to toss the dull bits?

Was a permit obtained, and an inspection? But he was cheap!

My tools are an eclectic mix. The quality depends on when I got them. The quality was medium if purchased while in High School, lowest after I was first married and there was no extra money. After I was divorced, and my business started to make good money, the quality went up. I still have...

NAPA has cardboard parts boxes for a reasonable price. Those get used in the shop and my garage at home

Why are putting an insulating barrier on a cooling tube?

I am done

I would be concerned about the crud on the valve also. If the valve is the least bit sticky, I would look for a name and model on the valve. Then do a search for a new valve. You might also remove the valve and take it to a propane supplier who might be able to supply a new valve. There...

I don't because I have been unable to find a decent holster. I have several gerber and leatherman tools, but the holsters are only large enough for the multi-tools. I want to carry a multi-tool, mini-Maglite, a marking pen and a small note pad. I want the holster to hold all that and to be...

Now that tool has been discussed, how about the Yankee Screwdriver? I used to have one that I used to drill into the face of fire extinguisher gauges. Now, we don't even test the extinguisher gauges.

I prefer to buy American, such as Ward. The cheap chinaman or thai **** is expensive when you figure the cost of comebacks. I cannot afford to return the job site to replace a fitting. For pipe dope, I like Perma Bond Anaroebic, not cheap at $50.00 a liter. But it does not leak. And it...

A big Eastern Oregon welcome to you. Dry side or soggy side?

We keep a zip tool in the sprinkler tool box. Sometimse we need to remove siding to get at drain pipes. I have learned to let the customer know that in the cold season, the vinyl can crack when we remove it. And not always is the original vinyl available.
