Hey wayback. I thought you said you followed the instructions I posted, so I must not have explained it well.
If you just crimp the end straight, it'll reduce the possibility of damage to the condenser.

Actually, I mentioned to the electrician that I have plenty of matching paint so I will paint all his work when the job is done.

He asked that I paint only the pipe, and hardware, but not the transfer box itself.
He says it makes it difficult to open in the future.
I said yeah, sure, ok, no problem, but I'll paint it anyway.
I think it looks really ugly unpainted.

I followed your plans up till the termination point. Then I made improvements.

This gives me 2 streams with a softer wash in the middle. Use the control valve to regulate pressure.



Plus this way no soldering nerded.

Totally random question, but this seemed like a good place to post it.

Do you guys think this car really sold for this price?

We'll average 6 to 7 hours a day, and about 450 miles.

Are you driving alone?



It's beyond me how anyone, men, or women, could possibly find this attractive???

At least she has hair.

Well...it does have black wheels.
For me...it's yellow, black wheels, and 1LT but a '13 GS with 15k miles for $31...but ebay says sold so somebody got a deal.

I don't doubt that the car sold for that price.
However, it sold for approx. $7,000 less than it's fair market value.
I'm certain there had to be one, or more, detrimental factors that severely reduced it's value.
Perhaps a bad CarFax? There has to be a reason.

Yup, that's what I was thinking.

It's a GS, it's yellow, has black wheels is a 1LT, and was probably owned by a Communist.

Come to think of it, these days that would make it worth more to 99% of the people.

Brothers and Sisters, we have a member in financial crisis:
Ham squandered an exorbitant sum on a project for his car. At this point, Ham has lost his grip. Here is a picture of me commiserating with Ham:

His lovely wife has booted from the house to the garage and is very upset as there is no food in the cupboards. To make matters worse, the fish may also go hungry.
So now, I ask you, no I beg you...you got yourself two good hands and when our Brother is troubled you gotta reach out your hand for him. Yes, Brothers and Sisters reach out to Ham, and in your hand, yes brothers and sisters, a small token, just a small token to help our Brother Ham get back on his feet.



Brother Ham needs our help!
Ham is counting on us!

I don't understand it....I voted for Obama twice in the past 7 years, and I'm still poor!
