Hot later.\u00a0 Nice now.\u00a0 Too bad it only lasts until about 10am.\u00a0\u00a0 ‘Course the humidity is there all day.\u00a0\u00a0 The hot part of the day is getting shorter though.\u00a0 By yesterday evening it felt cool again.\u00a0 Still over 80F, but cool compared to 104F in the sun.<\/p>\n
Did a couple of pickups.\u00a0 Lot of driving, but I got a steel cabinet (double door office supplies type cabinet) for less than $20.\u00a0 It’s in good shape, no rust or dents, and hasn’t been painted.\u00a0 I like to think I learn from my mistakes, so I’m going to use cabinets and not open shelves to store food at the BOL, when I can.\u00a0 The plastic tubs have been working great to keep the cans and boxes and pouches clean and un-eaten, but they make it harder to see what I’ve got, and harder to just grab something.\u00a0\u00a0 My storage conditions suck.\u00a0\u00a0 Cool, dry, and dark they ain’t.\u00a0 Hopefully at the BOL, I can get enough cabinets for the garage to keep everything out of sight, and rat pee free.<\/p>\n
Speaking of the BOL, wife and kids took the dog and headed up last night.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ve got a couple of pickups today, so I stayed home until later.\u00a0 I’ll head up as soon as I can.\u00a0\u00a0 I may try to get a couple more plumbing parts before I leave.\u00a0 I’m thinking that I will have to run both my new pex and the old copper at the same time for a while.\u00a0\u00a0 The easiest way to do that is T into the hot water heater, both the cold line, and the hot.\u00a0 They are the newest, are accessible, and are both the same 3\/4″ size.\u00a0 I won’t have to cut and splice anything either to get supply into the pex if I do that.\u00a0 Every time I touch the existing copper, I cringe, just hoping it doesn’t break loose or spring a leak.<\/p>\n
I’m sure I’ll be breaking some more concrete too.\u00a0 Joy.<\/p>\n
But hey, I’m building out our BOL.\u00a0 That counts for a lot.\u00a0 And it gives me a whole new place to stack all the things.<\/p>\n
Stack some of your own.<\/p>\n
