What am I?

Pool pumps are self-priming. When a pool pump starts, it pushes out the air in the system first.
A vacuum is then created, which sucks water into the system.

5) What does your favorite band & a FRONT entry doorbell have in common?
They each use electromagnets

No release mechanism for security bars preventing Egress
Possible hole in downspout a non-issue- many are designed with open fronts for winter locations
No downspout extension- drains to brick patio/walkway
Window screen damaged
Christmas light still up in August!

Congrats Scott !!
