Holy Cow! I hadnt realized this thred was soooo far down! So its GAME ON today! Got my new drive shaft yesterday along with a nwew waterbed mattress. Had one since 1974 and when we moved up here we tossed it and went conventional. What a mistake! Cold hard bed makes every bone ache after only 4 hours of sleep per night. Thats means a nap and a ton of toolenalls LOL ! Got this thing together yesterday afternoon late and ran the hot water heater cold 1/4 of the way full. That thing was ice cold last nite even sleeping ON TOP of the electric blanket!
I cant do the math but its 250 gallons with a 300 watt heater and needs to rise about 40 degress. I used to know that stuff from being a power plant engineer but quit caring when I retired. Ill guess two days!
Gotta go get the heat on in the shop... been gone for a full day and it wqas +10F last nite... more cold bones. Updates later. So for now, if you didnt see it on the "buzz coils" thred heres some live action video LOL... ws
