NWI INGO General Thread #27 - Fresh Pink Air On US-30 smells like...

Bishop Noll Institute
Catholic High School on Chicago Ave

My boss was a teacher and coach there back in the day. See they are working on a new football field.

I assume that means the school building is still without A/C. Probably would cost a ton if money to run central air into a building that old. I worked there a number of years ago. August school days were brutal.

No windows units?

Didn't have AC in grade or high school growing up. Can't remember a single time we didn't have school when it was 90+ degrees outside. Sure it sucked but we got thru it, but doesn't mean a whole lot got done that/those days.

Hoping this week goes better than the last two or so. Next week is a vacation

They have some. But the current generation of both teachers administrators and students is lacking the willpower to be discomfort.

@jedi did you ever find a plumber or anything to replace your water heater? Came home last night and the pilot light was out and it looks like a small leak has developed on the bottom, likely from rust. Would like to get it replaced before the whole bottom goes. Would do it myself but not a guy that messes with copper plumbing. Water heater is probably 20ish years old, doubt its ever been flushed or the rod replaced.

I've used "the plumber" in CP on indiana ave a couple times with good results. would recommend.

Hessville Plumbing, they cover Lake County

which is why school should not start until "After" Labor Day!

They have to start early so they can get all the off time and still have so many school days in to qualify.

I used them for a sump/ejector emergency and they were reasonable I think. They are on my list to call.

Yea, thought of Tony after I posted yesterday. They were closed by the time I picked up the phone. On the call list today.

Hessville and Fikema are both very reputable.

When it's 103 degrees outside. It's time to get busy in the kitchen.

 

[d.kaufman]

Warm one today in the shop and this was at noon. Sure it's a bit warmer now, but I'm not leaving the air conditioned office now to see.
