always willing to help

Truth is I've really come expect this. It's just a complete shame that some are notified within hours of the release of the scores and others have to wait up to a month more. System is broken.

 

[NJmike PE]

I mean, everyone takes it at the same time on the same day. Everyone should get their results the same way.

 

[engineergurl]

oh come on now... we all know that the US is not equal per state... think about population density and all that

 

[NJmike PE]

I get that and in some cases it makes sense but how does it explain the states like PA and wis where they don't get notified until January.

 

[engineergurl]

well maybe they just take more time because they are hard butts

I'm sorry to be so ignorant, but what's the PCS?

 

[NJmike PE]

A company which essentially handles all of the paper pushing (applications, exam validations, etc.) for some the states. They have been notoriously slower in releasing the scores to the candidates.

Oh, I thought you were waiting for the moving vans.

 

[NJmike PE]

Seeing how I am in a holding pattern for an unknown length of time, gonna do my best to reach 6k before I get my results.

This may be a challenge without the spam thread open.

 

[matt267 PE]

What a day already. Jump in the shower at 0540 and NO hot water. Cold Shower. 0600 in the crawl space and troubleshooting the problem. 0600-0730 replacing hot water supply lines in anticipation of a sediment blockage somewhere. 0735 realized that the "this guy" never winterized the outside hose bib,therefore freezing the hose and ultimately bursting the hose. The tee for the hose bib line is just upstream of the water heater inlet, which caused a drop in pressure to the water heater. So, the lack of water pressure in, caused a drop water pressure out of the water heater. Closed valve to hose bib on supply line, pressure restored through water heater, and thus a restoration of hot water.

0810 first cup of coffee. What a day already.

Being from what I call Northern South, how do you winterize a hose bib? On the same note, we had our yearly "bad" winter storm last weekend. 1" of ice and 4" of snow. There are usually only a couple of times a year it sucks to own a rear wheel drive car. This is one of those times. The main roads are fine but my county road has been abandoned by the road dept. I got stuck 20' past my driveway. I abandoned it for the wifes highlander.

dis connect the hose. close the valve from the inside plumbing.
