"I ain't had a good night's sleep since the Tet Offensive in 68'"
-that one coworker that tops every story you have...

 

That one could actually be true…

Though if your coworker was actually in the Tet offensive in ‘68 he’d be at least 75.

 

@six5crèéd
My buddy has been using those big totes for years for his firewood business like you've been doing recently.

He repurposed one for a more productive way...

 

Well manly men, just so you don't think I sleep in that chair all the time...

I have been doing a spruce up of a tenant house.

Before:



There was some thick wall paper falling off the original 1950's wall paper.
It was entertaining to pull it off.



Now:



The backsplash is place & press tiles that Mrs Green picked out. There is 1/8" hardboard behind them for a smooth surface to stick to.

 

The bathroom had a 70's style metal vanity with lights above, there was a turn switch on the side to turn them on.

Like this but more tired looking.



There was also an outlet on the side - connected to the house lighting circuit.

Behind it was this sizeable hole.



It was also mounted so low that I could only see my shirt collar when standing in front of it

Now:




Proper switch and direct to the panel board GFI outlet.

 

my grandfather still has that same metal vanity in his bathroom!

 

i really would cut the 3/4" copper after it converts down from the galvanized and re-sweat everything after in 3/4". as long as it's holding pressure, copper is easy to clean and sweat. if not, it'll be your main problem later.

 

For now I'm leaving well (heh) enough alone. Eventually I'm gonna have to rent a mini-backhoe and dig up the yard and replace the 1" galvanized from the pitless to inside of the house. NOT looking forward to that job

 

Still, replacing what you can now will save a lot of headache later. Especially if the pressure gauge doesn't work.

 

Looks like you've got some tired leafs there Adam. Mine looked like W's when they got replaced.

 

Good morning Wrenchmen

Welcome to the w-end

...which really is more of an inconvenience for me.

 

Good morning shop crew, have a great and blessed Saturday.

 

Good morning and welcome to the weekend everyone

Some crazy storms came barreling through overnight, the lightning close and as you can guess, vivid. Got to see if anything in the neighborhood was hit.

I hope the weather is more pleasant where you are


Nice job on those rentals @RustyGreen

 

This is the third Saturday in a row that it has rained here. Would like to have a less wet Saturday,

 

Mine aren’t w shaped yet! I’m hoping to trade it before I have to replace them.

 

Good Saturday morning friends! Hope the day is good to you


Cole and I stopped and grabbed some lumber for a VBS project and I got a yard hydrant and some 3/4” pex to run to the chicken coop (sometime, no rush).

I need at least 40’, two 20’ pieces were $30, a 100’ roll was $49.

I ask Cole what I should do

 

That’s a good idea, does he have a skidsteer he can move them around with?




J/K!!! It is a good idea

 

I've been running in a sea of blue PEX as well...
