Disqus Disappointment

... and then... no comments display!

Disqus, my super-simple, direct advice to you: Fix real-time updating so that it works 97% of the time. If you cannot  do that, stop trying, AND ditch nested replies.

Hundreds of commenting systems have worked well without either. None have worked with only nested replies.

Free advice. Now Tweeted, too.

Have a good Tuesday, you!

More Workday Pix

... of the renovation and prep for same.

Ivy takes a "before" shot of filter #8 to compare to the "after" of filter #5 (results of which are the last photo in this post).

Here's my boss, way down inside filter #5, near the beginning of the cleaning process. He's spraying that magic stuff we used to clean the clarifiers on the walls in this shot. That magic stuff is like $2500/barrel.

That's an 8' stepladder that we lowered over the top with a rope. These puppies are quite deep (and I can't deal with heights!).

Those backwash troughs look brand new, now!  Good job, boss!

It's Been A While Since We Went To Waterworld

Here we see the collectors inside clarifier #4 (the big white PVC pipes running horizontally) ~36" above the tube settlers, which are too fragile to walk on without something to distribute one's weight across more of them. Hence the plywood under the ladder. I'm spraying a very acidic, envirofriendly mixture to clean the crud off everythang.Yes, I am wearing my PPE.

The filters (#5, 6, 7, 8) which you can't really see. The big pipe running into the distance is attached to a truck outside with a huge vacuum rig. The old filter media -- sand, gravel, carbon -- is getting sucked out and is being replaced with new media. This is something that only needs to be done every 20-30 years.

The tops of the tube settlers, with another shot of a bit of plywood used for walking atop them.
