Moderators dtel Posted May 30, 2015 Moderators Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) Working on making the 2nd cup....for me it's going to be a long weekend. Before we left the shop last night me and the wife was looking at the schedule. I said what's up with the red X on Monday? She said it your birthday and I closed the shop.....man I got a good boss:-) Everybody say there on the second cup, I don't even get past the news and look here until I'm well past the second cup. I agree you have a good boss. Just in case it doesn't get noticed Happy Birthday cant count on my memory And yes plumbing still sucks Edited May 30, 2015 by dtel 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 What's on the other side of that wall, is it somewhere you can just cut sheetrock out to access, this could make it much easier You can't rebuild the valves from the back side. Gotta go at them from the front. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Back to the bathroom. I finally have the pipes inside the wall where they belong. Drain pipe is in. I can't put concrete in till my drain comes in so I may start working on the walls while I'm waiting. I'd like to get my hands on the knucklehead that put this in. The copper lines were kinked below the slab and there wasn't a brace anywhere to be found. The copper pipe has a cover to keep the concrete off the pipe when you pour the slab. They had poured concrete in-between the pipe and cover! Pretty much negates having it there to begin with. The section I put in has been wrapped in tape, then covered in plastic so I should be good. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnr Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I'd like to get my hands on the knucklehead that put this in. I think it may have been the same plumber who plumbed my house. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bring the old ones with me, they all start to look the same when your looking even if you do know the brand. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet the guy down the street says the same thing when the LF rides by on her bike, I'll make that bet. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Keeping on subject. I enjoyed my coffee while wiring up trailer lights on my Jeep Cherokee. I know their not audio cables, but they are wires. Never mind the mess, everything will get tidied up. I need a good vacuuming, as I have been hauling a lot of wood and what not. Now that I have this little trailer, hopefully that won't be much of an issue. And my humble 2 channel camping rig.
