Thought so, of all the things we sold in the speed shop, they are public enemy #1. Every one of them is warped right out of the box, hence the O-ring instead of a good reliable gasket. I think the chrome plating process affects the metal in a way that causes it to move a lot, in service. Doesn't matter what brand you buy either...they all do it.:D

Well done! Specialization is for insects!

You say please when your pissedoff??

Well I would MUCH prefer to say "Get the FUCK out of the way ASSHOLE !!! "

But I don't need to talk to my boss , co-workers , or customers .

It's 1k gallon. 5k litres. It's 6 feet tall and about 8 feet in diametre.

water weighs about 8.25 lbs per gallon so that makes that puppy weigh when full 8250lbs plus the weight of the tank so lets round UP and say about 8350+lbs , I hope you placed this tank on a cement slab and I would hope that the slab was level or slopeing AWAY from your house , Or you could have your own personal Sunami !!! :EEK :

It's all good Zippy. I'm not worried about it breaking down the house or anything. lol

It's on a slab which is about 6 inches thick and it's level bar the slope for runoff.

Perfectamundo ,

Thats what I was concerned about !!!

When i was a kid my Dad always encouraged me to be fairly self sufficient because he wouldn't always be around, and there might not always be another man to take care of things for me. Through the course of my life, I've been grateful for his lessons because there have been many long years where i've had to do stuff myself, and now I've married a man who is pretty much a disaster as far as anything to do with tools goes. He's a wonderful husband though, so I'm not complaining, and if I can do most of the stuff that needs doing, then it doesn't matter anyway. :)

Ali , that is a GOOOOD thing , my wife cusses when trying to change a lite bulb( simple shit that doesn't go right buggs the HELL out of her ) , BUT she can change a tire NO PROBLEM and has jumper cables ( extra long and extra heavy duty ) and knows how to use them ( she has weirded out more than a few guys while she was starting a coworkers car for them !!! ) .

Well it's all pretty good as far as I'm concerned. Always nice to be able to rely on yourself. I can relate to how mrs Zippy feels. lol

yeppers , she gets SOOOOOO flrustrated over simple shit , but then again I get flusrtated over ALL the paperwork she keeps in perfect orded ( "Babe do you have the manuel for the mircowave ??? " ZIP and it is in my hands , along with ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the paper work from when we bought it ) .

I guess every body has their talents , I fix shit and she keeps up with the paper work !!!

That's true. In our relationship, my husband earns the money and I use it. ;)

I think a lot of wives pretend they don't know how, or just can't manage, to do things they get their husbands to do. They do this because they're just too damn tired from doing all the other things they're expected to do.:lol:

I don't think that's true Bruce.

What are they expected to do??
