I don't have any sump to pump though.

Then don't buy one, Rick.

Will do.

That's my favorite thing to do, nothing.

By the way, I meant to ask, about a year ago, they put in a new heater and air conditioner. He told me I needed to buy a service plan for it where they come in the spring and the fall to "service it". Is that real?

I don't really care about it lasting 20 years. I won't be here even close to that long.

I have one. It covers time &labor for the furnace plus one cleaning for 160 bucks.

i think it's worth it.

I wouldn't trust myself doing that.

Do you also get a discount on repairs with that plan?
My company charges the same price but you get 15% off plumbing electrical heating and ac repairs.

no plumbing & AC is extra for a plan (80 bucks,I think)

I'm in the Arlington Heights/Mt. Prospect area. We get our pipes rodded out once a year wheter we need it or not. Forgot how much we pay for that.

Fuck,I should live in a station wagon.

Thank You,DS. I find your contributions to this board immeasurable.














I'm sure as you read this,you are putting your gimp back in the box.

Interesting. Well, we do service that area. If you ever want to give us a shot let me know. We do an awful lot more on Clean and Checks that everyone else... combustion analysis, airflow analysis, safety checks, CO checks... we don't just run a vacuum over your furnace.

Gents,

Just go buy a sump pump tomorrow or tonight. Just do it. Go for the cast Iron casing, oil filled. You'll spend more but it will last longer. It's probably a 1 1/2" discharge or 2" depending on the model, so get the male adapter while you're at it. Get a check valve too.
We're talking less than $150 investment here.

Basically your sump pump is going to go out. And probably at 2am. So it's better to have one ready now. If it sits on your shelf til next spring that's cool. At least you're ready.

Will do.

If you've got a 5/16 nut driver you can pop off the top and pull spray your hose along the coils from the inside out.

You ever cum out to the Lockport area?

I have one locked and loaded. The PVC and male adapter are already glued and connected. In case of pump failure, all I have to do is:

1) Unplug the old pump
2) Disconnect the old pvc from the check valve, by loosening two screws.
3) Remove the old pump from the well
4) Place the new pump in the well
5) Connect the check valve to the pvc on the new pump
6) Tighten two screws on the check valve
7) Plug in the new pump

These seven steps shouldn't take more than 90 seconds.

I wouldn't recommend that just any homeowner attempt that.

Yeah. But trouble calls are a little pricey-er given the travel time. Course there's always the side works.

I would be "Johnny-Callafriend" except for the friend part.

Plenty of side works if you cum out to Lockport.

I do agree after a time,that there is a "brotherhood" on here. I'm still waiting for my hooded robe.
