HARDLY OF MASSIVE INTEREST... BUT.. IT WAS HISTORICALLY OF HUGE INTEREST TO SDP........ HB 439 - an act relative to updating the plumbing code in order to accommodate agricultural uses =For example, it is extremely common for farms in Massachusetts to be required to use cast iron pipes where other states allow for PVC.
ALLOW ME TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORY-- BUILDING THE ICU DOG KENNEL---4 KENNELS AND AN OFFICE SORT OF THING...-- ALL WAS GOING ALONG. AND I HD TO BE SOMEWHERE ELSE ONE DAY--- I GOT HOME TO A DRAINING SYSTEM OF IRON PIPES AND COPPER INPUT-- AND A BILL FOR $19,000 WHEBN I EXPECTED MAYBE $20 OF PVC PIPE..--FLOOR WAS TIPPED -- WATER AVAIA BLE== HOSE IT DOWN TEH DRAIN AND OUT INTO THT DRY WELL-- I WAS LIVID AND FOUGHT WITHT HE BUILDING DEPARTMENT WHO SIMPLY SAID IF I DID NOT DO IT HIS WAY HE COUDL SHUT ME DOWN...-( AN EXPRESSION I HAVE BECOME VERY ACCUSTOMED TO HEARING OVER TEH YEARS...). THAT $19,OOO TO TEH PLUMBER WAS HUGELY PAINFUL-- AND SLOWED TEH FINISH OF THE BUILDING.. I DO NOT HAVE A CLUE HOW ALL THOSE PIPES ARE SUPPOSED TO WORK. BUT IT DOES NOT-- WE CAPPED OFF THE WHOLE THING-- AND THERE IT SITS... ALL 19,000$$ OF IT.
THEY ARE ASKING FOR"SPEAKERS" OR SOMETHING AT 5PM TODAY.... I HOPE I REMEMBER. I WILL SEND PHOTO... BELOW-- ALL THAT INSTEAD OF ONE PIECE OF PVC.
I COULD GIVE THEM A PIECE OF MY MIND--- BUT I AM LOATHE TO SPARE IT.--------MY MIND IS FRAGMENTED AT BEST RIGHT NOW.
SOOOOOOO------I KNOW... THERE IS NOTHING QUITE SO SATISFYING AS SCRATCHING WHERE IT ITCHES.,. I HAVE GIVEN GREAT THOUGHT TO THE STREET SWEEPING BRUSH FOR TEH DONKS TO USE TO SCRATCH THERI BACKS... TURNS OUT... THERE ARE RECYCLED ONES... BUT THERE ARE ALSO ONES... IN YELLOW.. MADE MOSTLY FOR CATTLE.... AGROMATIC,,, IN WISCONSON???? AND DARN IT....I THINK WE NEED ONE.-- I WATCH THE GOATS TRY AND SCRATCH THEIR HORNS ON THE TIGHT ROPES HOLDING UP THE FEEDER... - AND DONKEYS TRY AND ROLL TO ITCH THEIR BACKS-- I HAVE EVEN PUT BUCKETS OF SAND IN THEIR AREA FOR THAT PURPOSE...
SINCE YOU ALL WERE SO KIND TO SELL OUT CHICKEN BRICKS, I AM GOING TO GIVE THE DONKEYS A PRESENT FROM ME..... OF A SCRATCHER...
THERE ARE 2 KINDS. STRAIGHT ONES ON A FIRM POLE-- AND ONES THAT TEH COW CAN RUB UNDER AND IT FLIPS AROUND OVERHEAD.-- I SPENT ALOT OF TIME THINKING ABOUT SCRATCHING... AND I THINK THE PERMANENT ONE WOUOLD BE A MORE EFFICIENT SCRATCHER. WHICH WOULD STILL ALLOW FOR TEH DONK/WHOEVER... TO TIP THEMSELVES SIDEWAYS TO GET TEH TOP ITCH-- IN WHICH CASE THEY COULD BACK AGAINST IT AND REALLY SCRATCH... I AM AFRAID TEH FLIPPING ONE WOULD MOVE AWAY FROM JUST THE RIGHT SPOT.... SO I AM GOING FOR THE ONE ON A POLE..-- AND THAT POLE IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE AN IRON PIPE LIKE TEH FIRE HYDRNTS ARE PLANTED WITH... THINK. 1800 POUND CLYDE SCRATCHING. HIS REAR.....
THERE IS ONLY ONE PLACE IT CAN GO AND NOT UPSET OUT LATEST ANTI PUDDLE BULLDOSING... AND THAT IS AT THEBOTTOM OF THE HILL WHERE THEY ALL COME TO GET TO THE DONKEY CAFE... IT WOULD BE ON CAMERA VERY NICELY...
WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT SIZE POLE THE THING IS ON.
THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE... INSTEAD OF A PVC PIPE.. AND IT IS USELESS. ALL $19000 OF IT.
