I've been meaning to buy a basement Jack to put under my deck.
The spot were I set up my telescope needs to be stiffened up.
Anyways, picked up the jack at HD, and stuck it under the A7, front and center.
Seems pretty good so far. Now the weight on the hard rubber feet isn't so much.
If I run into it, I'll just put it back in place. Just want to take the load off the brass nipple.
No leaks so far.. I'll keep watching it for a few weeks.. Maybe install some removable insulation.
I put the u-bolt forks on the grinder, to open them up.
Added some rubber to absorb vibration and protect the brass from abrasion.
That old nipple was loaded with brown gunk.. A reminder not to drink hot water!
The city must have been feeding Martian soil into the water supply this year.
Three times in the last few months, it was running reddish brown..
