Manufacturing Locations

Isn't it interesting that many overseas firms find it more profitable to build their factories in the U.S. while our firms find it more profitable to build in China or South America and ship the stuff back here...why is that? is it that our corporations are taxed at the second highest level in the WORLD! hmmm, makes you think, doesn't it. Maybe the business's should be taxed less and employ more..Just my thoughts as I watch the dollar loss all its value and prices soar..

Clothes Hangars...Arrrr!

Got to love 'em..if you look close at the picture you will see the steam systems dry return pipe starting to sag and get a banana bend in it under the weight of all those clothes being hung off the pipe...some day that bend will be equal to the diameter of the pipe and I'll be getting a no heat call..gotta love 'em...could be worse..could be a gas pipe!

Sump Pumps

Here is something to consider after all the rains we just had, and the supply house ran out of sump pumps to sell. How many good pumps do you think were replaced? Before you call anyone to replace your sump pump, make sure its really dead. If the pump is running but the water isn't going out, the city sewer may be swamped, or your own storm drain may be swamped, and the pump just can't pump any more water into the pipe. The water will rise and mislead you into thinking your pump doesn't work. Hows it seem after the monsoon stops? If it suddenly seems better afterward the pump was fine. The sewer was not!
