Recently a drunk driver crashed into a fire hydrant one house down from mine. For a few days the hydrant just laid on the ground and then it eventually disappeared. I would assume the policemen who arrested the driver would have reported it, but its been a few weeks now and there's no hydrant. Who can I report this to or find out if there is even anything in progres for fixing the hydrant?
maybe ur key is worn? try with the spare key. also spray some lock-ease into the cylinder
The sharp point on the end of the conducting rod enhances the electric field in the air around it when the air becomes charged. This causes the air there to be more likely to break down electrically. That, and the fact that it is higher up, greatly increases the chances that a lighting strike in the vicinity will pass through the rod and, therefore, safely to ground. Being a good conductor with a high melting point means that the rod itself is unlikely to be damaged.
Apparently, the existing ceiling paints were not properly prepared before repainting. Not by you necessarily, but also by the previous painters. Preparation is 90% of the paint job. If the ceiling is as old as you claim, it wouldn't hurt to have it checked out for lead. What probably happened is that the original paint was an oil base,put on over an oil based primer. The person who repainted it did not use the correct primer,the correct paint or didn't bother to wash it first.(or sand it down) Maybe they started to..but never finished. I'm sure back then, who ever lived in the house smoked cigarettes and the nicotine collected on the ceiling as well as everywhere else.That is hard to remove and must be before painting. So you are trying to paint over something that wasn't painted right in the first place and even though you are now using the correct product, it's the original re-paint job that is going to continue to peel and taking yours off with it. You need to get it down to the bare plaster,drywall,or what ever it is and start from there. Sorry, what a pain in the butt! I would use an oil based primer, then a water based paint after it has cured. That is after all previous paint is gone.
the lock and key part of it is worn out ,you have to remove the steering wheel to replace it though and unless you have done that before your better off letting a shop do it that has the right tools for the job,that's all it needs,good luck.
replace the key and cylinder, they are worn
