I made the round loops that hold the glass funnels using standard 1/4-inch soft copper that you might use to pipe water to a refrigerator ice maker or a furnace humidifier.
The center brass fitting with the thumbscrew is a lamp part as is the tall brass rod and the round brass flange on top of the marble.
Kelly
gave me my own personal single-cup coffee brewer machine and I LOVE IT!
Kathy got Kelly a coffee bean roaster, so now we have the absolute freshest coffee in the house. The aroma of the roasted beans is intoxicating.
I want to THANK YOU for helping with this project. I was stunned by the offers of help. One of my subscribers owns a machine shop and offered to make a part or two if I got into a bind.
How blessed am I to have you as a subscriber! Your generosity is one way to help make the world a better place, that's for
sure.
Today we finally got real winter weather for the first time here in central New Hampshire where I live. As I type this, I'm looking out my man-cave window down at five inches of new pure-white snow.
But I want you to see what I was doing the day after Christmas. Had
you been here with me, we could have had a picnic lunch!!!!
One More Favor - Are You a Chemist?
I need another favor and this is pretty important.
Are you a PhD physical chemist? Or do you have a
darn good grasp of physical chemistry and whether or not other ions can take the place of oxygen in an oxidation reaction?
Sounds complicated doesn't it? This is all about my upcoming Defective Shingles book project that's MUCH BIGGER than I ever thought it would be.
Wait until you see what I've
discovered in the past three weeks. Here's the best part about the book. It appears I've stumbled across a solution for you to help you EXTEND the life of your FAILING asphalt singles.
The solution is SIMPLE and not too expensive.
Also, if you're thinking of replacing your roof soon,
STOP.
Do NOT do the job until you read my book. I've discovered the silver bullet when it comes to roofing material and the GOOD NEWS is you can afford it.
If all goes well, the book should be available within 30 days, so hang tight.
Anyway, if you're a chemist and can help me, I'd LOVE to call you ASAP. Please reply to this email and let me know if I can call you today / tonight or anytime soon.
Epic Flooding in the UK
I received a comment on one of my columns overnight from Linda who lives in the Yorkshire region of the UK. She got flooded out of a basement apartment.
I feel it's VERY
IMPORTANT for you to read the column and then read my response to her frustrated comment. She was looking for someone to blame about her misfortune.
If you're a seasoned subscriber, you know where this is going, don't you?

Repair Concrete Slab Expansion
Joints
Jeff, from Simi Valley, CA reached out to me the day after Christmas. He needs to repair an unsightly crack between his patio and his house.
My guess is you might have a similar situation at your home where you want to disguise a crack in concrete.
Here's the crack at Jeff's house:
