Oso planning to go pro
Hopefully I'm not the only one to have these questions, but:- What's a "Husky"?- What's an "HFT special"?- Are these short life resources? If not, why does $70 matter?- "MMMMMM pancakes"- I've only heard of 'sandblasting' in excavation or etching......8 gallon seems either woefully inadequate or excessive for either of those.Basically....what the hell are you talking about?

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

When you say "Sunday paper" do you mean your local paper that is physically delivered to your house?
I can address these two:1. $70 = 17.54 Beef 'N Cheddars
I'm going to guess you've never changed the oil in your car.
I'm going to guess the 20% off coupon excluded compressors - as they usually do!
What compressor you looking for?
Oh, I only borrow compressors. Every single one of my idiot* buddies has one, and barely uses it (mostly to blow out their irrigation systems). Saves me $98 every few years apparently!* (you don't need to tell them I called them idiots)
I knew Scoop was my type of people. Off the top of your head, who can name three other things also typically excluded from the 20% coupons.
pizza for lunch makes me tired
Furnace went out. Pulled the flame sensor, hit it with some 100 grit. Back in business. Saved a $200 house call with a 5 min fix.
Don't forget "turned off the pilot"...
You might need to translate for naginiF. Well, and for me.Would it help if I reiterate that ND sucks?
You'll find it sticking in the fire box from the bottom.
Read, out of context, to my wife...this sentence was not received with the amusement i thought it would.I do appreciate the detailed explanation though. From a behavioral perspective i'm not going to try to 'hit my flame sensor with 100 grit' (unless the Mrs finds her sense of humor), but out of curiosity what factors contribute to a flame sensor getting dirty and not firing? obviously age - but how many years, maintenance cycle - we are on a 6 mo system check, and environment - we've not cleaned the furnace room in years.ND sucks
Furnaces have a device called a flame sensor. You'll find it sticking in the fire box from the bottom. It's a thin metal rod about four inches long. Its connected with a screw to the bottom of the fire box and has a red wire attached to it.The flame sensor serves a similar purpose to a thermocouple. When your furnace is about to cycle, a pilot flame first heats the flame sensor. After a certain amount of time, usually about 30 seconds, the furnace computer will call for gas to ignite in full burn mode. If the flame sensor does not detect flame, it shuts the furnace off. You will know if your flame sensor is bad when the furnace keeps trying to start, but shuts off before the flame box ignites. Flame sensors get dirty over time, and lose their ability to work because of buildup. All you need to do is to clean it with a piece of sand paper. A dollar bill will work to, as it has just enough abrasiveness. Eventually, you will need to replace the flame sensor.Chances are, if your furnace won't start, it's the flame sensor. It's really as simple as changing a spark plug on a car. A flame sensor costs $24 retail. It's about half that cost if you know someone in the trades who has an account with a wholesaler. I guarantee if I called an HVAC tech, they would have spent 30 minutes checking this, cleaning that. Bill would have been at least $200.Your gas powered water heater works the same way. If it stops firing, it's 98% likely to be the flame sensor too.Tomorrow's lesson, electric dryers.I've learned this stuff from a neighbor who has an appliance installation business for 20 years. He's saved me a ton of money with his tips.
