Re: Tig welding pure aluminum Refrigeration coils.

We haven't lost power so far. I guess living in a forgotten town has its advantages sometimes. We lost water at the shop in town for a day and a half, but thats been it.

Sooooooo, no more WeldingWeb?
It's an HVAC site.

Who knows. It sounds like everything might be lost unless they find a backup somewhere. You'd think after the last outage they would have multiple backups.
