I have done a little reading into this. It is a big deal! From my understanding local treaties like the Douglas Treaty were not just about you live here we live over here land settlements they also in some cases included seasonal land usage agreements. The cowichan band traditionally resided...

But there’s other dangers with elevators! DO NOT let any cable, power cord, dog leash, catheter drape across the threshold where the doors can close and the elevator can leave and travel to other floors stretching whatever is caught in the door till it breaks because the elevator is stronger.

No joke! you jump in there it will trap you until I wake up to all the buzzing of my phone, put on my clothes and drive into town from my house in the middle of the night.. Here’s why jumping will trap you in all traction elevators long story. Basics: All traction elevators have a...

We use a spring applied hydraulic lift off emergency brake system on elevators to grab the hoist ropes. A guy I work with got his finger in there and exploded the tip, bone and everything. The smoke and noise of that on a full load full speed application is impressive!

Speaking of government blowing money Hah! I find it just a bit ironic about this BCGEU strike is that a large portion of those people are die hard ndp voters. The very government that ran up the deficit, blew the budget and now can’t afford to pay them any more.

Tip of the iceberg

Just like this. Between the two of us we could jimmy rig anything!

Or also apparently this part number. Exactly why I have one in the truck.

Had the same happen to me 100 years ago. Rupture in the oil pressure line to the vacuum pump on the back of the alternator. oil inlet hose 90923-02072 Only other possibility is an oil feed to a turbo.
