Hot and humid, back to Houston style… I’m sure it is hotter here than there.<\/p>\n
Interesting view of the moon last night, horned moon, and against a clear electric blue sky.\u00a0 Really blue, but only for a few moments.<\/p>\n
Pack is all back together.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ve got the kids all day, so I’m probably home most of it.\u00a0\u00a0 Although I might get out to do a quick pickup or two.<\/p>\n
I did get some real work done at the BOL.\u00a0\u00a0 We are currently down to one bathroom we can only use sparingly…\u00a0 but I don’t see any show stoppers for getting the master bath back up and running.\u00a0\u00a0 The missing toilet flange looks like it will be straightforward to replace with a repair kit I already have up there.\u00a0\u00a0 The plumbing all needs to be redone.\u00a0 Par for the course.\u00a0 Even copper pipe needs to be replaced after nearly 50 years, especially if there are issues with the water, or you’ve mixed metals in the system.\u00a0\u00a0 The galvanized nipples are all completely shot where they join brass Ts.\u00a0 And some of the brass Ts have pinholes too.\u00a0 At least replacing it with pex is easy.\u00a0 I don’t trust the longevity, especially of the sharkbite push on connections, but it’s easy.\u00a0 And it will outlive me in all likelihood.<\/p>\n
That is one thing I keep reminding myself, all the corners the old man cut, and all the decisions he made, all the dubious choices, lasted longer than HE<\/em> needed them to.\u00a0 They had a lifetime warranty \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n I hope my choices last for 50 years.<\/p>\n Wednesday’s meetings with the new contractors and the septic guy will set the tone for the next few months.\u00a0\u00a0 I hope we can get going on the big items.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s nice to drink coffee on the dock in the mornings, but not having septic\u00a0 or solid power and water means it’s not ready for use, and that isn’t good.<\/p>\n Stack all the things.\u00a0\u00a0 You’ll need them and more…<\/p>\n nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hot and humid, back to Houston style… I’m sure it is hotter here than there.<\/p>\n Interesting view of the moon last night, horned moon, and against a clear electric blue sky.\u00a0 Really blue, but only for a few moments.<\/p>\n Pack is all back together.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ve got the kids all day, so I’m probably home most of it.\u00a0\u00a0 Although I might get out to do a quick pickup or two.<\/p>\n I did get some real work done at the BOL.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
