Wrongful Death Lawsuit

[adsm08 2,022]

So my friend Mickey died recently, and his estate is suing his landlord over it.

 

He recently moved into a new apartment, the place was listed at "Move in ready, with in unit exercise equipment". Mickey thought that was great since he was kind of a fitness buff, but the treadmill the landlord had supplied in the apartment didn't have any safety stuff, no pull cord with a key, no hand rails, not even the things on the side you can put your feet on to stop running. The ME said that he died when the treadmill got going too fast and he just couldn't manage get off safely.

 

 

Services will be held January 18th at 2:00 in Carlisle PA.

Truly sorry to hear about this, I'm sure you'll miss him, at least you'll save on cheese.

I got a chuckle out of this.  Showed it to my wife, and she replied "eeeew gross".

It kinda was gross. That fan got him spinning fast enough that his GI tract exited through the exit.

 

When I got the one piece of duct work off the end of the blower fan it was dripping piss and blood.

You gotta learn to be a bit patient, let it set a day or two.

OMG man, I can't believe I just read your whole post and thought, oh that's too bad, even glanced quickly at the photo and thought, well that's weird, and didn't catch on until I read a couple of replies.  Good grief I'm dense!

You may have solved the problem we're having, the blower was working fine then a few days ago now it sounds like all hell broke lose, set on high speed the fan blade is clearly out of balance.

 

Now I'm thinking one of Mickey's cousins is causing the problem

 

Thanks

That’s so funny it’s wrong!

Probably something of the sort. What's the vehicle?

 

That's what this was doing. Fan worked fine on low speeds, but anything half speed and up the whole dash was vibrating.

Hmm, I'm not familiar with that setup.

 

This came out of a 14 Escape, which have a poorly designed cowl and HVAC duct system. The cowl panel isn't sealed nearly well enough, and there is a large hole for the air inlet (about the size of a pocket New Testament Bible) with no screen or grating of any sort to keep mice out. Then the air inlet duct is placed there on a steep downward angle (about 45*) and so it is easy for mice to get in, but hard for them to get out.

 

At least a couple times a year we pull nests, or dead rodents out of blower motors that are vibrating badly. Worst part is removing the blower pays a little under 4 hours, and because of how screwed up the placement of the retaining hardware is even if you know what you are doing it takes almost every minute of that time.

You got us all.

  Visited a friend of mine yesterday. He did a hand a mischief with a circular saw. Couldn't drive for 6 weeks. When he could he took his Land Rover Discovery for a run.  Found it wasn't pulling very well.

  Now behind his garage/workshop is a big beech tree. When he took the cover off the air filter, he found a nice stock of beech nuts covering half the filter.  

  Fortunately no wiring chewed.

@adsm08 may you can put his cousin opposite as counterweight...😂

 

Was there no possibillity if you removed the Fan out of it‘s case, 

 to put a hare stall grid from inside the fancase onto in- and outlet.

 

maybe a bit before the slope you talked about?

so for first case the vibration problem was solved.

 

But great story, think you catch us all.. 😂👍

Because of where it sits I don't think you could place anything between the inlet duct and the fan case, but if I ever end up owning one of those, which is something I plan to avoid, the first thing I would do is rip the cowl out and secure a piece of screen across the HVAC inlet.

[Tractorhead 9,064]

One thing normally allway‘s work is a ladies tights.

double or 4 times it give a good airflow with catching capabilities of things they should be out of a Fan.

Each duct had somwhere a connection, where you can add it with rubber bands or zip ties a ladies tights can simply keep in place.

 

maybe short after the intake or on the intake self is a good place for a mouseprevention.

@adsm08

Steve's got a great idea there.

You'll have to rip that car back apart.

Your not the only one !!

[Tractorhead 9,064]

  

 

No @ebinmaine i don‘t mean he has to wrack the whole Car against. 😂

 

My idea was maybe use a Ladies Thighs as a Sack that will pushed into the Suction side on the Fanduct on beginning and put on With a Tie Strap or a Cover allready exists.😎

 

Maybe it needs an upgrade with a small additional hidden Cover, what traps the Mice before they can reach the Fan or Heater Assys . So you‘re able to pull it out if any Airblow will be reduced and clean it simple or exchange the whole sack. That‘s cheaper and a will be a much faster doing as disassemble the whole Air System again and again.

Even it can be built on Waterdrain outlets, where some animals uses as entrance.

 

By disassembled the Airsystem once, i will also install a hare stall grid in a way close before the Fan or Heater is reached. As addon the thights, to clean easily the Path of Airflow.

There are mostly clamped or screwed connections in each Car, where the hare stall grid can be easily mounted or bent arround before reconnecting. 

That shall be a kind of Firewall for your Fan against bigger animals, that prevents homing in there.

 

Hope it‘s now more clear how i meant this Setup

4 hours - ouch - i would be closer to 4 days 

 

heck it can take me more than an hour to replace an air filter or cabin filter 

 

miss the days when you could remove one wing nut to replace an air filter element 

 

could see and get to every spark plug easily - now I can't even see or find the plugs on many cars

Right there with you.

 

Trina and I don't even give a second thought to shredding and rebuilding an entire Wheelhorse and we're going to tackle a farm tractor come spring.

 

Late model cars??

No no no no no no no no no.

 

Luckily we have 2 great reliable repair/maintenance shops right in town.

I have a great repair shop in my own back yard. My fix for late model cars is to not own them.
