Cool and wet, possibly COLD and wet later.\u00a0\u00a0 Wasn’t bad yesterday, but it was wet and gloomy.\u00a0\u00a0 I think we’ll get more of that today.\u00a0\u00a0 We got actual rain last night, not just misty drizzle like we had during the day.<\/p>\n
I slept in, then did plumbing.\u00a0\u00a0 Had to McGyver a piece.\u00a0\u00a0 No one had the reducer I needed, but they had one with threads.\u00a0\u00a0 Threads I could remove with power and hand tools….\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It just took longer than it should, and entailed a trip into town.\u00a0\u00a0 Stock at the hardware store and at Tractor Supply was wide but very shallow.\u00a0\u00a0 And there were big holes where they hadn’t gotten any new stock in a while.<\/p>\n
Walmart looked pretty well stocked, but only with the stuff they have, which does not include plumbing fittings.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They had a lot of stuff on Clearance too.\u00a0\u00a0 I worked slow but got the drain installed.\u00a0\u00a0 Got the supply ready to connect today.\u00a0\u00a0 Turn off the water, cut the pex, insert and crimp new T fittings, turn it back on.\u00a0\u00a0 I love making changes to pex, it is so easy.<\/p>\n
Still need to drop the gas line into the wall, and change out the romex to grounded 2 wire for the outlet in the wall.\u00a0 Then button it all up and pack for home.<\/p>\n
That’s the plan, but we all know about plans…<\/p>\n
Watched “The Producers” with wife and D2 since it was raining and we couldn’t have a fire.\u00a0\u00a0 It was the Mathew Brodderick, Nathan Lane version and it was really good.\u00a0 I love the original movie with Gene Wilder, but the new book and music (written by Mel Brooks) did a great job of freshening up the story while keeping the best parts.\u00a0\u00a0 The movie did a fantastic job of melding the stage action with the “film” segments to tell the story but still capture the feel of a Broadway show.\u00a0\u00a0 D2 is turning into a theatre geek too and laughed out loud throughout.<\/p>\n
Stack up the good times.<\/p>\n
