No luck on getting the Ranco today so I ordered one. I will use the shop vac for sure.
Should I have an air bleeder somewhere? I was told to turn valve off and on a number of times and this gets any air out. My father says I should have one at the highest level. The air handler is in the attic and I guess it would need to be on the return side??
Great metaphor by the way. I was treading water while holding a 5lb brick overhead.
Here is a story that actually happen to me years ago. I learned a valuable lesson from this in which I instill in my children.
I was 19 years old living alone and putting myself through college. I worked 3 jobs, 2 of were on weekends. In the AM I worked in road maintenance which included vehicle maintenance as well. The second job was at a gas station.
A customer came in the gas station and asked if we had diesel fuel, we did not but the truck stop 3 miles up the road did. He looked tired and asked me; which direction? I saw him leave and started to walk. I asked my manager if I could take my break and give the guy a ride. I had an old pontiac grand am but worked well enough to get by. I caught up with the man and he accepted the ride.
We got his fuel and gave him a ride 13 miles back to his "new to him" truck on the interstate! He was from Indiana and we were in the Poconos (PA). His truck was full of kids and one worried wife/mother. I stayed there to see if his truck would start and it did not. Now, because I ran out of fuel in my first jobs backhoe before I knew he had to bleed the lines. I found his bleeder, and low in behold, his truck started right up. WE shook hands and back to work I went.
My twin lived with me at the time and he has to take insulin. I got home, woke up and found out he broke the bottle. Without insurance It was just over $100 for a new bottle.
We scrambled looking for money. I eventually thought to see if I had any money in my glove box and that's when I found the $100 sitting on my passenger car seat. I felt like it was a miracle but the note said THANK YOU for the "miracle"! This changed my life.
My point is this... if a fellow needs to be here to help put food on the table for his family just say what it is and maybe WE Shaver owners can throw him some leads.
Yes, it's that obvious now
Peace to all
I am still in Aw with the amount of warmth my "new" Shaver is producing.
THANKS AGAIN
