Alles.
Is the ALDA from a 602.961 the same as the ALDA from a 603.960? 
(1987 190Dt, 1987 300TDt).

I have a spare IP from an 190Dt that can donate paatz.
My newly acquired 300TDt has a few bits missing/wrong.

The EPC does not give any clues.
Anyone have an appropriate ALDA for cash, American money? Beads, Cowry shells?

Re: [MBZ] USPS

[Dieselhead]

Noticing something "quirky" about USPS:  'Few days ago, first class 
letter from Goldsboro, NC, to Glenmont, Ohio, (570 miles) 16 hours; 
small, "priority" mail pkg (oil analysis kit) from Chester, VA, to 
Goldsboro, NC, (153 miles down I-95 and I-795) 3+ days.  (BTW, don't 
be so quick to try to tell me that mail doesn't go straight down the 
interstate highways - I know that - it zig-sags all over here and 
yon from mail center to mail center, etc.)  It's just surprising 
that one item can zip so quickly from one "off-the-beaten-path place 
to another so quickly, while another meanders and languishes here 
and yon.

Re: [MBZ] Totally OT - house painting

[Dieselhead]

How big is the house?
We had to have the north wall of our basement repaired several years 
back. It developed a horizontal crack that we wished to stabilize.
We had it dug out on the outside down to the footings and the inside 
reinforced with steel angle bolted to the concrete and then the 
outside filled mostly with river rock etc.

30 foot wall cost about $6K for the repair.

I think I am getting too old and feeble to attack jobs like that by myself.
The fellow who did it worked like a machine. He hand dug the whole 
thing in no time and kept a second fellow almost running to dump the 
wheelbarrows full of dirt on the street.


We have a crack in the east wall as well but it does not appear to 
be any significant issue yet. I am thinking of having the steel 
installed on it too but not digging it out as it does not leak.


Randy


Around 900 Sq ft, on the original part.  not big.

I had all the "basement fixers" price it and they were between 10 and 
20K  too  much money.  I rents a trackhoe that was the perfect size. 
Any smaller and the reach would not have been long enough.  any 
larger and I could not get it between the house and garage, and under 
the patio roof.  As it was, I had only a couple inches to spare.  I 
think even Dingo Diggers woulda; been proud.  THere still was a lot 
of shovel work.  I had one helper for that, and he was a workin fool.


I like the ibeam brace systems better than the wall anchors, but 
opted for a less expensive methodology.  An old carpenter told me he 
straightened walls by bulding a 2x4 frame wall inside, then after the 
dirt is away from the wall outside, push the wall out.  I was amazed 
at how little force it took to straighten the walls.  I think they 
wanted 4-500 bucks for each i beam or anchor.  THis way I get water 
controlinsode and out, and a finished basement at the end.  putting 
in the walls and insulating them made a HUGE difference last winter! 
Very comfortable now.

Vinyl siding must be installed lose and it's designed to breathe.  You need
to "house wrap" and seal (particularly the bottom plate) to keep draft out.
In a cold weather location you need a vapor barrier under the sheetrock.

Vinyl siding, while low maintenance is not exactly pretty to look at!
Looks don't bother me much :d, but I do have experience with vinyl siding. 
My parents put it on the last two homes they had.  I'm not sure if it was 
the fault of the installers, but both of them were much draftier once the 
vinyl was put on!  When my wife and I had to replace the faulty LP siding on

our last home, we elected to go with Hardi Plank siding instead.  The house 
sold very quickly!  We'll soon be moving back to Oregon once again since 
Colorado didn't work out for us with NO public transportation in our area! 
We'll have better public transit as well as more friends/family to drive my 
next Mercedes Diesel which I'll have a better chance of obtaining in the 
Portland area.  Back to the original topic, the house we're looking at has 
painted cedar siding, and a place for afore mentioned MB Diesel.

I owned a 1958 (?) Wolseley with RHD and semaphore turn signals.  This was
in Fiji, a former British colony.  The car was a 4 speed stick with the
gear shifter knob to the RIGHT side of the driver, between the driver's seat
and the door sill  The shifter was connected to the transmission by some
levers that ran beneath the car.  These levers from time to time got
dislocated, disconnecting the transmission and leaving me with no means of
propulsion.

we found it's great for stucco. S-W has monopolized the market by buying out

Re: [MBZ] Totally OT - house painting

[Scott Ritchey]

I've owned several houses in various states.  

I owned stucco houses in New Mexico and California but they did not require
repaint while I owned them.

One in Ohio had vertical cedar board and batten siding and it needed repaint
while I owned it. It was a JOB!  I built a mobile scaffold from lumber and
pressure washed and scraped the lose paint.  The problem was water intrusion
so I caulked copiously and repainted with roller and brush.  That job took
several weeks (weekends and after work) and I suspect it only lasted a few
years.

When I remodeled my last Florida house (which was mostly brick) I used vinyl
on those few unsupported vertical surfaces that needed new covering.  This
was a decent solution but the vinyl gets porous in a few years requiring a
dilute bleach bath and pressure washing.  The vinyl eventually gets brittle
and can crack, especially in cold climates.  Not ideal but much better than
wood.

My current house in NC (which is 150+ years old) had asbestos shingles
installed in the 1950s.  These last forever unless you break them.  They are
semi porous but you can wash/bleach them as well as paint them.  Of course,
you can't get them now.  When we remodeled we installed Hardie Plank lap
siding on the addition and Hardie Panel on the barn.  The Hardie product is
very much like the asbestos shingles (without the asbestos) but it is
considerably thicker and heavier.  You have to cut it with a diamond saw and
caulk it everywhere it meets a vertical corner mould, doorway, window, etc.
It comes already primed and I expect it too will last forever with only
washing and very rare repaint.  We have been in the house for eight years
and there is no indication that the Hardie product needs repainting.  One
final comment, Sherwin Williams exterior gloss Duration is a great paint.
There are probably comparable products in other brands but I haven't used
them.  I haven't found other Sherwin Williams products to be better than
average.

In order of preference I'd recommend:
1.  Brick
2.  Hardie product
3.  Vinyl
4.  Plywood sheathing (with wood-like surface)
5.  Wood planking

I would think you would still want to dig it out so you could fasten the
steel to the wall by through-bolts that would clamp on both sides of the
wall. Or is that not how you did it with the first wall?


I offered $10k on a 1400 sq ft L shaped ranch that needed a raised mound septic 
system and had a failing basement wall. The wall had been stabilized with box 
section steel beams, placed vertical inside the wall with about 8' spacing. I 
forget how they anchored to the concrete slab, they were tied into the floor 
joists with screw preload brackets.


8 months after the bank turned me down, they sold it to somebody else for $3k. 
When I told my foundation guy he said they overpaid. I forget what his estimate 
was for digging up that 48' wall, jacking up the house, ripping out the wall and 
building a new wall, but it was only 4 digits. The septic estimate was $15-20k.

Hmmm.  I interpreted "emergency OS" to mean just what GRML and
SystemRescueCD do - an OS I can use to deal with a problem that I
can't deal with by booting the main OS.  I guess our definition or
response to emergency are different. *smiles*

faction of doofuses over there who think that the 603 runs better if
you excise the ALDA entirely.

[MBZ] USPS

[WILTON]

Noticing something "quirky" about USPS:  'Few days ago, first class letter from 
Goldsboro, NC, to Glenmont, Ohio, (570 miles) 16 hours;  small, "priority" mail 
pkg (oil analysis kit) from Chester, VA, to Goldsboro, NC, (153 miles down I-95 
and I-795) 3+ days.  (BTW, don't be so quick to try to tell me that mail 
doesn't go straight down the interstate highways - I know that - it zig-sags 
all over here and yon from mail center to mail center, etc.)  It's just 
surprising that one item can zip so quickly from one "off-the-beaten-path place 
to another so quickly, while another meanders and languishes here and yon.

The wall that they did is fastened using the anchor bolts that are

I assume they don't want to drill all of the way through as the hole

Is the ALDA from a 602.961 the same as the ALDA from a 603.960?  (1987 190Dt, 
1987 300TDt).
I have a spare IP from an 190Dt that can donate paatz.
My newly acquired 300TDt has a few bits missing/wrong.

The EPC does not give any clues.
Anyone have an appropriate ALDA for cash, American money? Beads, Cowry shells?

I bought a foreclosed house last year. Should have had all those 
little issues taken care of by last July, but here I am,, still 
painting, cleaning, laying tile, pulling wires, and this week I'm 
putting in a central heat pump system.
The 3/4 ton ductless mini split I put in last year can keep the house 
livable, but 1.5 ton central air will keep the whole house comfortable.
I've been running into all sorts of little joys on that project, like 
coming up with a 20 amp HACR double pole circuit breaker for a 35 
year old Bryant load center (ended up buying a used one on eBay for a 
bit more than twice as much as Menards charges for a non-HACR double 
pole).

My spare time for the last 18 months:  saw concrete to make french 
drains.  saw floors to install pipes to connect french drains to sump 
pump.  Dig up around basement, install new drain tile, jack out walls 
to plumb, install frame inner walls to support masonry walls (now 
straight).  refill excavation with river rock, and top with dirt. Haul 
off excess dirt, grade lawn. Rewire basement. Drywall basement, paint 
basement, sand hoak floors in 2 BRs, varnish 2 BR floors, varnish LR 
floor. Repair/paint walls in large BR.  Repair and paint LR.  Paint 
stairwell walls.  Saw concrete patio into squares, saw sidewalk into 
squares.  grade between house and garage this supper. cover graded 
area with concrete squares and 4 raised beds.  Pull up and load 
sidewalk squares. Haul sidewalk debris and unload for ditch fill.  
shovel sand for fill and grading sidewalk.


Now I am up to forming for sidewalks.   Have not had much time for 
fixin MBs.


Next up is residing carport. then floor for basement, then build new 
bathroom/shower in basement.  Then roofs, etc...  It never ends!

How big is the house?
We had to have the north wall of our basement repaired several years 
back. It developed a horizontal crack that we wished to stabilize.
We had it dug out on the outside down to the footings and the inside 
reinforced with steel angle bolted to the concrete and then the outside 
filled mostly with river rock etc.

30 foot wall cost about $6K for the repair.

I think I am getting too old and feeble to attack jobs like that by myself.

Re: [MBZ] Who wins in U.S. vs Europe contest?

[Rich Thomas]

Europe is different from the US in a lot of ways, similar in some ways.  
Like anywhere you go there are things you might like and things you 
might not like.  People there seem to like where they are, or they move, 
kinda like in the US.  I get annoyed by the nannyism and small cars and 
congested urban areas, but a lot of that is just artifact of history.  
(But if I want all of that I only have to drive north on I-95).  That 
said, I have really enjoyed driving around Greece and Spain, through the 
countryside and small towns, and just trying to blend in a bit (not too 
successfully probably) and experience life as it goes on there.  At the 
base levels most people are pretty much the same, so you can always have 
some commonality on food, drink, family, gardens, scenery, cars, futbol, 
etc. and let it go at that (kinda like family gatherings!).


They have had longer to screw things up and sort them out a few times, 
they seem to be in a screw-up phase now with the politics and economies, 
but I'm not sure that is any different from the US.


I find Europe interesting in that for a relatively small place (compared 
to the US, or Texas for that matter) there are so many different 
indigenous languages, cultures, tribes, etc. and still a fair amount of 
animosity about a lot of things based on that.  I guess that is an 
historical artifact related to geography and distance and transportation 
and such impeding assimilation going back hundreds/thousands of years.  
Overlay the new immigration situation and that just adds to all that.


In the US our ancestors (the white ones) started with a clean slate of 
sorts (except for the pesky indigenos but they were soon dealt with) and 
established a more unified culture based on some common themes (which 
mostly were rejecting the prevailing Euro themes and focusing more on 
individuality yet with the Constitutional rights). That sorta forced all 
the differences to be subsumed by the common themes.  But that is 
changing now too, becoming more fragmented even as we develop the 
capabilities to be more unified (transportation and technologies).  
Perhaps that is just human nature?


Of course I am probably FOS but those are some observations.

Re: [MBZ] Who wins in U.S. vs Europe contest?

[G Mann]

At last information, Hispanics are predominately Catholic, a religion that
teaches peace and love of your fellow man and gives absolution for your
sins [with the applied correct number of hail marys and acts of contrition]

On the other hand, Adherents to Islam are taught from birth to memorize
quran, which demands the death of all Christians and Jews, anyone who does
not "revert to islam" and says nothing about peace and love to your fellow
man. If you should sin by failing to follow the laws of islam, the penalty
is death by unsavory means, like having your head cut off.. no absolution
there.

Remember the recent beheading/murder in public of the UK soldier? Europe is
not rife with such acts. Denmark, Sweden, both have had some of the same..
Let me know how it all works out.. I'm staying in USA, where the right to
self defense is at least in written form of law.

parties that oppose Muslims have sprung up in several EU nations and seem to 
be slowly gaining recognition.


Gerrywho reads as much "world news" as American news

P.S.  When the EU was first proposed as the "United States of Europe" I 
suggested that the only way the states of Europe would ever be united was by 
conquest.  That opinion was not popular among the left wingers in my group. 
Europe has had many "trade agreements" throughout it's history, (Hanseatic 
League and others), but this is the first I recall that created it's own 
monetary system.  Maybe the Europeans are progressing.
