Re: Lost yout knife?

Not a likely match, but I lost a red handled Swiss Army knife last fall in the wetland near the WDFW boat launch at Pearrygin. If I could get hold of a metal detector I could probably find it.

Re: Pipe bender (trying to make a hoop house)

I do have what you are calling for ( 1", I believe ) but would not be able to access it for a day or two. Also, I have bent similar hoops by driving stout pegs into a stout platform and bending the conduit around those pegs. What diameter or radius are you trying to achieve?

Re: No water on Englar Street

Hope it goes faster for you than it has for us. We are now into week five in which no water has flowed from the Winthrop mains. Luckily, generous neighbors have allowed us to tap into their frost free faucets the last two weeks, so we have water for all but drinking. Still carrying that in gallon ju...

Re: Winthrop water interruption

Thanks for the offer, Brad. I was able to borrow a metal detector from a neighbor and the contractor who put in the water lines, Andy Oosterhoff, was able to come up to the site and give me clear directions for the search. The valves were nowhere near where the town of Winthrop thought they were. Un...

Re: Winthrop water interruption

Thanks for the input, Chris. I haven't personally had access to any of this information - or perhaps I haven't pushed hard enough to gain that access. We were just informed that some information has been found and that a backhoe should show up this afternoon to scrape away the snow from the presumed...

RAK. EDIT. They do have a locator, but, for some reason, have concluded that it cannot locate a cast iron meter cover under the snow pack.

Re: Winthrop water interruption

Thanks, RAK. I agree that Winthrop should have the maps and the trace wire and the finder, but if they do, they don't know where they are. Various employees and the supervisor have been onsite several times in the more than two weeks this has been going on, but without any positive results. Frozen m...

Winthrop water interruption

We are now in our third week without water to our two year old house in the Housing Trust development in the Cascade Condos area above the PO in Winthrop. It seems that there are no reliable maps that the Winthrop water service can access to enable them to locate the valves that would turn off the h...
