    fyi it isn’t “just” houses. I am waiting for the annual calls from local governments about what got trashed this year.

    Water-proofing stuff makes it run hotter and often makes it, counterintuitive I know, more likely to have fire/explosion issues. Hotter stuff doesn’t last as long or work as well. Organic matter releases methane both in the ground and above it. Add this to total fucking inability of civil engineers to do a site visit and acknowledge that the former non-flood zone is a flood zone now and you get yearly problems.

    Not doing it this time but I almost got sent across the US to deal with a single pumping system that is browning out and dying this week. Local person is handling for me and I will be on the phone. So there is my Monday.
