After a 2.5hr work period of cutting measuring, finding tools, soldering, and testing I finally got the water line sorted out that went from the house to the garage.

I replaced the old shut off valve that was here with a new quarter turn ball valve.


Outside I made the connection to the pex line and also raised the spigot to make it more comfortable to work with and put a new spigot.



And look at that! Water coming out of the spigot on the garage!


I had to shut the house water off since I needed to install a toilet shut off valve, so figured I would get this checked off my list of things to do. Just need to get some masonry sealant to seal the hole where I passed the pvc conduit through the cinder block wall for the copper pipe to pass through.

Got some concrete silicone filler and sealant for the cinder block wall to seal the gap where the water pipe went through.


A little finger action to ensure it’s sealed.



Then I got the inside wall too.


I guess I can call that little project complete.

Nothing else was done except clean up the house a little.

Things are coming along nicely. Quality work on the Bud Light bottle jack jingle

I got the rear hubs installed on the oldest’s car and so far it sounds better I think, but I’m waiting for a pair of ears.

Here’s the new hubs in.


I even cleaned to floor, it cleaned up nicely with a little simple green and paper towel.


Could use a sweep and mop.

A buddy of mine rode with me, he has the most sensitive ears I know of. He identified a heat shield being loose and tire rubbing on inner lining. But no more wheel bearing noise or any other concerning noise. So I call that a win!
