Default Wilfy,,,speaking of pressure relief.....

Building a compressed air storage tank out of hot water heater tank. Got the compressor running and stood around the side of the house (peeking at it every once in awhile) to see if the air pressure relief valve would work.

,,,,,it didn't. When the tank blew it blew a hole in the foundation of house (cement and 2X6 like a tooth pick) and ripped the siding off all the way to the ceiling.

Hey, at least I didn't catch anything on fire, which is WAY more typical of my "average" bone head mistake.
