pete i needed a car better on gas so i bought a 350 dollar special. and had to remove transmission but i didnt bring it to a shop i just did it my self . i never did it before but i learned alot from it. your right were all the same just doing what we need to survive. pete
thats from ur heart pete thats all ive ever done was try to save on what i could by doing shit like what i hve done to my f350 but some people never will see how hard the little guy works at all love ur vids man and am a loyal viewer
Dont you just fucking love it. Its been a situation all fucking week at my work. one right after the other.Im ready to pull my fucking hair out. 70short needs to think people dont have the $ to hire it done. PLUS!! a DAYS WORK?? MOST PEOPLE A DAY IS a short 8 HRS. The body shop small owner is work 8 hrs on cars to get money and then fix it on top of a days work on junk.,what ever it takes. You are lucky to get home and sleep and get the fuck to bed at a decent hr.
Pete , it is a honour to have a insight in to your world........You are a inspiration to us all. Even though the smoke screen of all the funny vlogs we can see the man that you are !!! And that is why we all come back !!!!!
What more can be said, but thank you for being you and thank you for sharing !!!
well pete your world looks as hectic as it is in my world except you got more problems but as my uncle said to me.."if ya think you got it rough,think again because the ones who really had it rough was the pioneers who had nothing that we have today" true words spoken from a man who seen it all,good luck with the issues in your world
Shit just keeps flying through our fan of life but the sonofabitch just keeps running. You show us the reality of life and the fact that just because we are down doesn't mean we are out.
well Pete, it doesn't matter how far you far and how hard you hit rock bottom, as long as you get up and go back in the good fight to get what needs to be done, done. I'm learning that one every day now. best O luck Pete
@70short Not for what these bastards charge, I would have had to get a bank loan out just to pay for "THE MAN" to fix the problem, and then the interest on top of the loan, and then the monthly payments, wow, sounds like another bill to me...
Sorry to hear of yet another kick in the head when ur down Pete. It never ends. Im 63 and know a bit of how the world works. I understand what u mean about ur world and my world. Ive said it too. I hope the good luck starts soon. Loved the music Pete, it is my favorite, and if thats u plaiyng, then u are damn good.
@JOHNDEEBANK No-My Friend Pete isn't a lier--can't say Im playing this particular peice, its a song called Maggot Brain by The Funkadelics.... You can download it off the internet... Great Song. Thanks Pete
so before the pipe broke your system stood at 200 psi?do you have a pump in the system?I have never seen a nonpump system stand at 200 psi you should be at 45 to 100 psi.......the only thing i can think of is when the system was built or at the last inspection the system was put under 200 psi and the pressure was never relieved,and left to stand at 200 psi for years,witch could result in the failure of the system.......200 psi is ment only to test the system.
so if the system was over pressured and then froze up the pipe would be more likely to bust ,at say a victaulic or a valve..not the pipe itself the black steel pipe is rated at 300 psi.
by the way if you want all the air out of the system open the inspectors test valve this will let all the air out,and if you see leaks at the victaulics take a hammer and hit the thing and see if that stops the leak,And you did not have to but a gate valve back at the main drain any valve will work .
@339svq Thanks for all the valuable info.. Do you know anything about the main water valve that comes off the street, it's leaking around the turn on leaver. They tell me all I have to do is replace the packing,, but the water is running, is this a hard job???? They want 750.00 plus parts to do it, they say it only takes 30 minutes, I say fuck it,, I'll figure it out and do it myself.. Pete
@swrnc pete you can replace or add packing to that stem while water is running, packing is just woven material with teflon or wax. you have the valve stem, the stem gland nut for packing gland and the gland materia.. you should try and add some new material to the exisiting worn material tighten the gland nut and see what happens. youtube has vids up simlar to what ya need to do i am sure. packing gland replacment. i forget what you valve looked like to seewhat style you have.
@swrnc Pete,, Is that main water valve just a outside shut-off valve for your building? What I mean is there another valve out by the street in a lil manhole or something? I don't understand how that packing can be changed with incoming pressure against it. There has to be another shut-off somewhere, maybe even off of the property.....
@swrnc Pete, I couldn't find the video of you in the pit with the water shut off valve, but if it is a gate valve, which I would say it is, they have what is called a backseat built in the stem that comes up with the valve seat when opened all the way. You can open the valve all the way hard and it should stop the packing from leaking and let you take the packing nuts and packing ring loose so you can take out some old packing and put in new packing without too much trouble.
We all live in the big world Pete, if i wasnt 5,000 miles away, id drop in and fix your sprinklers for yah..! hard working folks take it every time, and yeah, dont the 'fix-it' guys love to write thier sodding bills up....basturds

Well said Pete.
I too believe that we are the masters of our own fate.
It is what we do with what is dealt us in life that defines us as "Get er done" or "I can't do that" people.
Keep getting it done.
