I would definitely recruit from Home Depot over Walmart any day. Walmart shoppers are by definition lazy and possibly have a statistically significant lower collective IQ than shoppers at other stores.  Every good cult is going to need creative, intelligent people who are good with their hands, who show some initiative (but not too much!), and know more about plumbing than I do.  I think I'd find a few good devotees at Home Depot.  A Walmart shopper would most likely not be able to provide me with a new roof, storm door, in-sink-erator, or skylight, whereas these would be no-brainers for your average Home Depot guy or gal.  I hope this helps!  Let me know if you actually have any luck with devotees from Walmart.  Perhaps I'm limiting my options too much.

There are plumbing fittings down to 1/8" that are fairly common.  I am not aware of things like sanitary tees, but fittings like 90s, tees, 45s, etc. are available.  They might even be in your local hardware store.  If the 1/8" size isn't available they also make 1/4".

My primary focus is in home repair/remodeling. I have 25 plus years experience in various trades and applications, as a self employed, but non licensed contractor. I also have 40 plus years in theatrical involvement, as well as various other skills, knowledge, and experience.\n  House painting, flooring, minor elect. and plumbing, drywall, Decking, etc. etc.\n  Beyond that I'll look for work in the trades also.\n  I'm also seeking decent housing.\n  I have decent references, even local to GR.\n  Consider e mailing me if you have home related needs that need tending to. Any quality answers will be responded to. Thank you.\n\nRev. Steven

Condo Associations have their own rules and regulations, which are usually put together by the condo owners and any state requirements.  For example, in Chicago, the reason the apartments have to be kept at 68 degrees is because the pipes could freeze, then they could burst and the apartment building could flood and people would be without water and without proper drying mold could grow.. therefore, health issues mandate the temperatures.  \n\nFor your case, check your associational guidelines. You should have been given a copy when you purchased the place.  \n\nI recommend you get an HVAC guy in and ask for a furnace certification.  He will determine if the furnace is working within normal guidelines for the size of the building.\n\nIf the furnace is certified, then you have done what can be done. As you stated, the owner of the unit is responsible for the windows, and if the furnace meets code, that's probably where the responsibility of the association ends.\n\nIf the furnace cannot be certified, then you want to know why and if it can be fixed.  A lot of times old furnaces don't pass certification, and if let go, they could cause a fire. So it doesn't hurt to get it checked.

I would suggest you check out the yellow pages for Houston, TX; Tulsa, OK you will find several manufacturers for heat exchangers, pressure vessels, tanks, heaters and pumps.\n\nAssuming you have sufficient definition of each item in terms of size, capacity, surface area, working pressure, materials of construction you should be able to get estimates of just about any piece of equipment you will need.\n\nI do not wish to discourage you but, if you don't have a process flow diagram with a heat and material balance for the plant you are going to have a very hard time developing a cost estimate using major equipment cost.

Go for any technical short period courses like electrical, plumbing, aluminium fabrication and A/C & refrigeration etc which is suitable for you.  Try to get a diploma certificate for any of these, make easy to find out a job.  \nGood luck.

Home Depot offers classes for free. Check with them. \nOnce you get the bassics down find someone that works drywall for a aliving and apprentice with them.

I make $32/hr at my job (i'm an electrician), and coworkers (other trades) get paid similarly.  Outside, depending on if you're licensed by the state to do these repairs, cuz you'd be legally responsible for any follow-up repairs. $20 to $40 an hour is reasonable, depending on the job: carpentry & painting at the lower end, plumbing and electrical is based on job (EXAMPLES: a light fixture or switch $25; whole house $40/hr; fix a leaky tap $20). And, too, if they're elderly, cut them a discount. I hope this was helpful. Good luck!

I take it they won't allow you (for some unGodly reason) to tour your local water utility company, hence the reason for your question?? It's a shame but since that appears to be the case, i'll run it down for ya. All modern systems (unless designed by buffoons) are both, in series , parallel systems with built in redundencies to help isolate sectors with problems but yet still allow adequate & equal water distribution/pressure throughout; Why do you ask??

ASHRAE is the organization that publishes the standards by which heating equipment is sized and vented.  They charge for their publications however.\n\nTalk with a reputable boiler manufacturer like Paterson Kelly or Hydrotherm and they will probably give you some guidelines for no charge.
