I was watching the show Alaska State Troopers. Things I have learned from this show.
#1, Alaska cities look kinda dumpy.
# 2 A lot of the crimes committed are done with a knife. The cops talk about the amount of guns in the state, but everyone they stop seems to be carrying at least 2 knives.
#3 Everyone is either taking, making, or transporting drugs in Alaska

An 8-minute shower uses about 17 gallons of water, a load of laundry up to 40, and a bathtub can hold 80 to 100 gallons of water.
"She likes to bathe three times a day and she does laundry all day," said Rocka Mitchell from Texas.

Yes, people really have difficulty conceptualizing how much water that actually is.

If only one drain backs up it's not the septic tank of the main drain line. I have a lot of problems with my kitchen sink too and here's the rub. If you are on a septic tank you can not use Draino or other highly caustic stuff to clean it out. I pour a pot full of boiling water down the kitchen sink drains periodically and that seem to keep it clear.
And BTW you should never pour cooking oil down the sink. I pour old cooking oil into old coffee cans and throw them in the trash.

You can routinely have them pumped on a schedule, which I'm sure is recommended by pumping companies and others.
Or, you can go with the "when things go wrong" schedule (drains back up, yard around tank starts getting soft), which has been my method.
Of course mine has to be dug up to be pumped, so I try to avoid it at all costs.

We always had problems with the tank when water levels were very high.
Eventually, the township required above ground drain fields (mounds) and a sump pump in the below ground tank. The sump pump introduced more maintenance, cost, and problems into a relatively simple system.
Septic systems in clay don't work well, or require more extensive drainage systems.
Usually when the township installs a sewer line, hook up is mandated. Everyone has to be on it to spread the expense.
Posted by: Skandia Recluse - Alt-Ctrl at June 03, 2018 07:04 AM (roQNm)
Sometimes slow drains are simply because of distance from vent pipe. Like dumping gas from these new gas cans that don't have a way for the air to get into them, so they drain sssslllloooowwwllllyyy and chug away the whole time.

Try one of those flexible drain cleaner brushes. Sometimes it just some hairs, dirt whatever that are doing it.
Also do the Vic boiling water thingy too. Not sure about if it's septic friendly, but put in a cup of white vinegar firs. Let it sit for a half hour or so, then the boiling water.

You have a garbage disposal unit on your kitchen sink and you are on a septic tank???? I have always heard you should not put one of those on your sink if you are on a septic tank. That may be what your problem is there.

When the addition was put on, they were hooking up the plumbing for the new bathroom and laundry room and discovered that years ago, before we bought, someone had hooked up the kitchen drain to the vent pipe for the floor drain. being much smaller it didn't take more then a few years to plug up and....the floor drain would back up.
Easy fix for the plumbers, and knock on wood, no problems so far

We have a septic tank and garbage disposal. I've had it pumped out once in 17 years, about 8 years ago. At that time I had the septic company put a riser in so next time all they have to do is stick the hose down there without digging up the yard.
The riser also has a port where an RV can hookup to dump. That's very handy if you have an RV or people who come to visit in one, like my parents.

Have been both LLC and S-corp (before LLC was implemented). Obligatory IANAL disclamer: nowadays LLC offers benefits of S-corp with fewer complications. Investors are treated as "owner/partners" and operations are as in partnership, but corporate veil protections and immunity from dissolution on exit of a partner are present in LLC as in S-corp. Tax filing is similar in both but company registration and secy' of state interactions is simplified (no required stockholders meetings, for example). I recommend LLC.
Septics eat poo, not paper. Learn to minimize non-poo solids. Get a bidet toilet seat. Throw non-brown paper waste in the trash, not the bowl. Eschew bleach and lye. Biologic additives are a waste of money (see what I did there?) unless you are correcting for abuse like overuse of garbage disposal/laundry products.

It takes a lot of information to decide if an "S" Corp or LLC is better for your particular circumstance.
What kind of liability are you looking at? Wholesale or retail? Will the customers be paying sales tax to you? Are you dealing in cash or mostly checks and credit cards? How much are you planning to steal? Are your partners going to be around in two or three years? Are you going to be the majority member or stockholder (51% control)?
Lots of things to look at. However, figure out that last point first. You either have control or you don't have shit.

Report on boiling water: Poured a gallon or so down the drain to lighten the pot before climbing on the chair. Alas, Bruce's warning about splashy boiling water came too late but they're just little scalded spots.
It drained okay but without the swirly suckage I was hoping for. Filled both sinks w/hot water, pulled the plugs and ran the disposal for a second or two while they drained. Water goes lazily around and exits at a leisurely pace. But it does drain.
Ans I suspect votermom is right about hair in the tub.

There are only two ways to structure a company, based on what you want to achieve...
A) On the Books. Everything is organized to show the maximum amount of cash flow and profit on the books in order to have the maximum amount of credit and to be able to exit with the maximum sales price.
B) Off the Books. Everything is organized to hide the most money, expense as much as possible, minimize reported profit and taxes and to milk the most cash out of the business for personal use.
Once the decision is made, the technical questions can be answered.

My problem with that kit is that it requires you to put in an after-market air (bleed) valve which means you need to drill a ~1/4" hole at the top of the can. I don't see how you can do this without introducing some (admittedly small) amount of fine plastic shavings into the interior of the can and thus eventually into your fuel tank. I'm thinking a hand drill and a vacuum cleaner nozzle should do the trick, but I haven't done it yet.

I get what you're saying.
But...the damn thins do work.
Put the nozzle into the tank opening.
Fully press the flow button.
When the fuel level rises to the tip of the nozzle, fuel flow stops.
Would probably be a struggle to refill an automobile due to the shortness of the nozzle.
But for applications where you are pouring directly into a tank, such as a mower...it just flat works.

Thought of that as well, but after that it seems like I'd still have contaminated gas, of course a gas rinse might do the trick?
My current thought is to drill the hole so I have the precision diameter for a good fit, then add a small amount of gas to the can, then pour out the gas into another can using a funnel and cheesecloth filter, maybe more than once.

Posted by: Hrothgar at June 03, 2018 08:37 AM (n9EOP)
The secret is to actually trust it to work, and mash the button fully down to the open position.
Flow WILL stop instantly when the tank level rises to the point that it covers the bottom of the spot tip.
Do't peek.
Don't lift it up to look.
Don't feather the button.
Stick it in, and mash the button down.
It works.
Also, if due to lack of use, the button feels frozen in place, the spout is easily removable from the mechanism, and the o-ring free'd up.

You might also want to consider C corp, given the new tax rates for each type of entity.
But these decisions (S, C, LLC) depend upon a lot of factors: How much net income the company will make; how much depreciation there will be (whether or not the type of business is capital-equipment intensive); how much money you personally plan to make from it. S corps have some advantages, if, say, you're going to make a decent amount personally, the company will be smallish with smallish net income, and there's a lot of equipment involved. If your company might make a shit ton of money, you're probably better off with a C corp.

Hey Buddy..
Youtube the tub drain fix. Unscrew the two screwss on the flip switch that controls the mechanical drain plug (if there is one) Carefully pull the whole mechanism out of the overflow tube. May have to pull hard cause it could be stuck with soap scum and hair n shit.
Clean the crap out of it. jab your snake down the whole a few times twist it around. Then pour the hottest water you can stand without burning yourself down the the overflow drain hole. Like a five gallon buckets worth. All at once in a big long hot pour.
Best and easiest quality of life fix you will ever do.

Spill-proof (when filling), I was misunderstanding that requirement. Now that I understand it is an automatic shut off device to prevent overfilling, I see the point. I have a little one for the chainsaw, and the mechanism is awkward to manipulate.
I have two containers that predate that CARB reg and they both have an air inlet nipple with a little plastic cap that makes the container both airtight and spillproof when capped. Each came with a built-in pour spout that retracts into the container. They are much easier to use, but it is difficult to judge when the tank that is being filled is filled to capacity, and overfilling happens regularly.

Late to the party, and not an accountant, but my two cents' worth on S corp vs LLC:
You might also want to consider C corp, given the new tax rates for each type of entity.
But these decisions (S, C, LLC) depend upon a lot of factors: How
much net income the company will make; how much depreciation there will
be (whether or not the type of business is capital-equipment intensive);
how much money you personally plan to make from it. S corps have some
advantages, if, say, you're going to make a decent amount personally,
the company will be smallish with smallish net income, and there's a lot
of equipment involved. If your company might make a shit ton of money,
you're probably better off with a C corp.

This is correct. Its a big decision and probably not one that should be made on internet advice. Way to many variables to look t on a chat room board. If you are serious about the business, you should consult a attorney or tax accountant.
Or at least a place like legal zoom or something like that. I bet they would ask you all the right questions and lead you to a solid decision making matix.

And what the California idiots don't realize is that by limiting people's in-home water usage, people will just push off some of their water usage to public spaces. Debating whether to go home and shower or shower at the gym after a workout? Well now you'll shower at the gym. Every time you're out in public you'll use the restroom before heading home. And some other changes people will make will be worse for the environment. How many families will start eating off paper plates with plastic forks and knives to save the water from washing dishes?

You can do both. Taxed add an S corporation is a tax election. The legal entity is an LLC or a corporation. A corporation is more costly to establish and maintain. An LLC is much easier and cheaper to set up. Same legal liability benefit in both. Taxed as an S Corp is an election that both a corporation can do or an LLC can do.

Alright who knows why a modern three year old walk behind mower would fail to run.
Gas check
Clean and new spark plug- check
Air filter clean and working - check.
Oil- check
Husky one pull start mower starts badly, on tenth pull, runs weakly and then power drains off and dies.

This is usually a carburetor issue. Try some carburetor cleaner. Also check fuel filter.

88 Skip, how do you know when to pump the septic tank? I suddenly find
myself in possession of one with not a clue how they work.
Posted by: creeper
You will need to maintain it properly, keep the bacteria working
which is what breaks down the solids . So for example don't flush a lot
of anti-bacterials, I assume ammonia and such. There's pills to flush
and such. Doesn't take a lot of effort, just a small amount regularly.
I used to manufacture septic tanks but never had one. The internet
knows what to do.

Your town may have an ordinance that requires regular pumping. My town looks for a certificate from an approved pumper every five years. Gotta keep the solids from overflowing into the leeching field.

How old is the gas that is in the carburetor?

I use the same stuff, with excellent results.
So maybe the corn-gas isn't the culprit.

I lucked out and found a place very close to me. It's actually an HVAC company that also sells diesel, propane, and 98 octane racing gasoline. It's actually colored green, so I can honestly say that I'm using green fuel.
It's expensive, $10/gal, but my little 1.25 gallon gas can will last two months with weekly mowing.

My problem with that kit is that it requires you to put in an after-market air (bleed) valve which means you need to drill a ~1/4" hole at the top of the can. I don't see how you can do this without introducing some (admittedly small) amount of fine plastic shavings into the interior of the can and thus eventually into your fuel tank. I'm thinking a hand drill and a vacuum cleaner nozzle should do the trick, but I haven't done it yet.
Posted by: Hrothgar at June 03, 2018 08:19 AM (n9EOP)
Make sure the fuel can is dry and you use a new or freshly sharpened drill bit (not the one Ace used to drill holes through the drywall when hanging shelves). That way you get long curls of plastic, not little chips.
Shake out the drill residue.
You should have a flame arrestor screen on your fuel can nozzle. That's backup #1.
Replace your equipment's fuel filter after running a couple of can's of fuel. That's backup #2. If your equipment doesn't have a fuel filter, then spend a couple bucks and 30 minutes of time to get an after market in-line filter and add it.
I've added vents over the years to a dozen or so cans (gas, diesel, kero). Either new cans or emptied them and let them air out for a few days. On the Diesel and kero, I rinsed with gas before letting them air out.
Really, if the can is dry and you use a sharp bit, the plastic bits will shake right out. And your equipment rally should have a fuel filter. Some smaller stuff, like push lawn mowers or pressure washers sometimes don't. Pretty cheap and easy to add one.
I also ditch the spring loaded nozzles. I can get old fashioned ones at Tractor Supply.

Stabil gets you 30 days the way most folks store fuel. And, has that engine only ever lived on a diet of ethanol-free or properly stabilized fuel?
As suggested above, you may have a partial blockage in the carb. Some varnish has gotten knocked loose and traveled to some small passageway and gotten stuck there.
It could also be something else. You can test if it's fuel delivery pretty easy. Get a clean spray bottle and put gas in it. Remove air cleaner and spray some gas in the air intake. If it starts right up and runs normal for a few seconds before acting up, then it's fuel delivery.
Check the hose going to the carb. Thinking you have a gravity fed setup so you should get a good flow when you pull the hose off the carb. If not, replace the hose. Drain the tank and use a flashlight to eyeball inside to ensure no crud is in the tank. Loose crud can move around and partially block things, then move away and engine will run fine.
If the the tank and fuel line check out, you likely have a dirty carb. You can mess with cleaners and other additives and it might work.
I'd just get a replacement carb and swap it. I'd expect it to be in the neighborhood of $30. I've chased this on several pieces of equipment (mowers, chain saws, garden tractors, leaf blower, pressure washer, etc) and now I just order a carb just to save time. I've tried cleaners and Seafoam. I've tried soaking the carb in carb cleaner. I've tried spray can carb cleaner. Now, I just slap a new carb on.

You've gotten some good advice, Whitbread (and some not so good). "Choice of entity" can be fairly complicated and fact-specific, and is often as much "art" as science. Been doing business law (w/ an undergrad degree in Accounting) for 40 years, mostly with private businesses. Would be happy to spend some time walking you through the options/decision points (no charge for a fellow moron - or, in my case, lurker). Email me at "stevenpeden at hotmail.com".

Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at June 03, 2018 08:57 AM (mpXpK)
Wow! I had no idea. We have university extension offices that demonstrate how hook up and use rain barrels instead of using municipal water for dry spells. We had a local demonstration with discounted barrels and they were snatched up within an hour.
I can see where government officials might worry about barrels as a breeding ground for mosquitos, but that's part of the programs around here. (We have West Nike virus.)

Since you will all be partners, the limited liability inherent in an LLC won't necessarily protect your personal assets. If you, as the member do work for the LLC that is claimed caused harm, damage, or injury, you can still be personally sued. I found that out the hard way when I, my partner, AND my LLC were sued in civil court for work under the LLC (albeit frivolously and maliciously).

I don't remember where, but one argument for making them illegal was the position that the water actually belongs to whatever government entity that was arguing it.
Despite the fact that the rain fell on the homeowners own roof.
And by collecting and retaining the water, the homeowner was depriving the government of it's property.
(I shit you not)

If there is no advantage of one over the other, then I would probably go with a corporation. In my state, the corporation offers better liability protection because of a specific state law (close corporation election). If you want to email me about the state of your operations, I can let you know whether you have a similar advantage. (By the way, several of the comments, above, are wrong.)

C Corp is double taxed, but you can leave the dough in the bank without uncle raiding it.
Posted by: Bigfoot at June 03, 2018 12:55 PM (1yOGV)
There are 2 choices to make.
Form of organization - LLC or corporation. The LLC is usually the best choice for a small business. It has liability protection and more flexibility is choosing which tax return to file.
Tax filing - S-corp is usually the best choice for a small business. You can choose this if you are organized either as an LLC or as a corporation.
Posted by: Mike S at June 03, 2018 01:32 PM (Gyg4r)
"LLC or S-corp"
Check the federal and your state regulations to verify this:
1. It is possible to convert any of the LLC/S-corp/C-corp (like Amazon, Ford, ...) to any of the others ...
... but the transition from LLC to S-corp to C-corp is the easiest, and in fact very easy. All of the other possible permutations are much less easy.
2. In an LLC, tax losses are (or can be) apportioned by investment amount (gains too, I think), and can even be assigned to only specific investors, if desired. In the other two everyone gets something, so if everyone invests equally, there's no issue, but if you are the major investor, the others get to take some of your tax loss (I experienced this).

LLC allows dividends to be paid at any rate with no rules at all.
This may be an advantage, or not. I usually think not.

And NEVER use ethanol gas in a small engine. It is not that hard to find non ethanol gas even here in cornfield hell. And my harley riding friends say the same about their bikes.
