Hot eventually, but much cooler up here than in Houston.\u00a0 \u00a0Only 77F when I went to bed, and everything covered with dew.\u00a0 Still gonna get hot later, I’m pretty sure.<\/p>\n
Funny old weather liars, said no rain yesterday and yet I got soaked near Hobby Airport in the afternoon yesterday.\u00a0 \u00a0Nothing at home though.\u00a0 \u00a0P!ssing down in South Houston.\u00a0 \u00a0I made my pickup anyway, mostly building supplies.\u00a0 Plumbing and electrical odds and ends with some romex and spools of wire.\u00a0 And three spools of pex.\u00a0 Now if I could just find some buckets of Sharkbite(tm) fittings and some liquidtight conduit….<\/p>\n
I should have bid more for the sharkbite fittings in an auction last month.<\/p>\n
Of course last month they were a “would be nice to have” and this month they are a “jeez those things are expensive but I have to fix this leak” thing.\u00a0 \u00a0If you think you might need it, buy it when you see it.<\/p>\n
And I think that I’ve put off pulling the toilets about as long as I can, so that is on the list for today.\u00a0 Find out what’s wrong with the flanges, solve it if possible, and see what’s needed to get a sink back in the hall bath.\u00a0 \u00a0I might have to venture into town later.<\/p>\n
I don’t like doing plumbing.\u00a0 \u00a0I much prefer carpentry and electrical.\u00a0 But ‘needs must’ and all that…<\/p>\n
Stacking up the skillz…\u00a0 hot skillz.<\/p>\n
