Now I understand why this project is taking so long. Looks like a union job.

After more and more beer is drunk the flux is going to look more and more like mustard.
Be careful out there!

A Grey Whale washed up on a beach a bit South of us.
Decided to check it out.
Kinda gross, as the Fish and Game scientists had already started cutting into it.
Mostly though, it’s just a bit sad.

If they tried to blow it up like they did a few years ago with the one in Oregon you and all your neighbors would be picking greasy whale bits off your roofs, cars, yards, and out of your trees for the next six months...

I have succumbed to the dark side.
It’s been about 20 years since I actually plumbed anything. I usually just make a phone call and point.
A couple changes I’m noticing since last time.
The quality of copper fittings has degraded to ****. A lot of the fittings are out of round, and won’t even spin on the pipe. That’s after they’ve been cleaned and prepped. A lot more deburring is required.
At work we use all PVC for waste/vent.
Went to grab some fittings at HD, and the typical fittings available in ABS aren’t even carried in PVC. No long sweep fittings at all.
Guess I’ll go to a real store on Monday

Back a page, I started building a table top out of some old pallets. 4x6s with some interesting coloration.
I left it outside in the rain, and it warped a bit.
Decided to go a different direction with it.
Kinda goes with the croquet, horse shoes, bocce ball, and ******** in the front yard.

I too bought that pex tool and it is great, I love how easy it is to do the installation.
You just reminded me that I have to make a ******** game for our rental cabin.

Great idea, Riv.
Slip it inside a cheap plastic sandwich bag and the chips will be a lot easier to remove from the magnet…just turn the bag inside out and toss it in the trash.

We all know that would be much too small.When you build a space for somebody else, but really want it for yourself
