Tuesday, June 01, 2004 Long Weekend? Where?!? Okay, there was no long bloody weekend... First, there was a trip to Home Depot for supplies. Then it was preping the wall. Then priming the wall and trim. Wait to dry. Prime the wall and trim again. Wait to dry. Paint the wall. Dry. Picked up the AC for the new room at Sears. Retape trim area, and paint. Dry. The toilet also broke or had been in the process of breaking. The water was running, but Saturday night it started running badly. So I had to kill the water to the house because the freakin' plumbers we had in here a few months ago did not install the shut off valves the way I wanted. @(#)*$ So, back to Home Depot for plumbing supplies and some trim paint (yes this is out of sequence - I think we went to HD like 90 times this weekend - sue me). This is the same toilet that four or five years ago I tried to repair (the same problem actually) but the mechanism was so corroded that it was fused to the inside base. So it went from a running water problem to a cracked tank problem and we ended up without an upstairs toliet for about a year. It went a little bit better this time. Because it was only a few years old the whole thing came apart easily. The only problem I had was that I cannot completely shut off the water, there's a steady trickle. The secondary shut-off doesn't close completely and the upstairs shutoff is corroded. Man, we have sucky water. So putting the new valve in was a little tricky at the end. But it works now and hopefully I haven't fucked it up and right now my downstairs is filling with water with nowhere to go. Plus, I mowed the entire lawn. That include the little garden area. I can still smell cut grass and exhaust. Did I mention that someone came and took the old car away? We are getting everything done this year. Oh, I lied about having more pics up, you can sue me over that while you're at it. posted by Evil Wayne | 12:42 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
