I’m just amazed anyone would take this on in retirement. Not letting anything slow you down RYou. That’s just great. Are you going to put in a shower or are you putting in a tub word?

Ha ha, funny AC word!!

RYou – I thought you were in a newer house. Seems like you are doing a lot of work there. Gutting the bathroom is right if you are removing flooring plywood. I can’t even imagine doing something like that. Good luck, don’t hurt yourself carrying awkward and heavy junk word.

RYou – Why are you gutting a bathroom? Seems like a lot of work for a retired person word!

Had to change the rear brake caliper on my wife’s van. I did this a few months ago and she lost fluid. Turns out it was leaking pretty heavily. So I ordered a new part and replaced it yesterday. Dry and fairly sunny, temps were 50’s and high 40’s so not too bad. The ebrake connection is the most ridiculous thing in the world. That was…[Read more]

Cold mornings on the weekend. I will be changing rear brake caliper because the new one I installed is leaking all over the place. We’ll see how that goes word.

Got to 31F last night. My son has salt laying contracts for when temps get to 32. I’m guessing he was out last night making some cash word.

Belay On! Belay Off! word

Gonna freeze this week word.

Bouldering yesterday. I’m waiting for a call from my oldest saying his body hurts. I didn’t climb but I think I might try it next time word.

Had the grandkids over the weekend. Overall a good visit. My youngest son’s B-day is today, we are going bouldering for that. I think I’ll hang on the ground, my shoulder and arthritic finger will rebel if I do that word.

You almost had me at color TVs. Reminds me of motels that used that as an enticement. You and RYou have a great weekend!

AC – That thought had never crossed my mind. Yes I could do that. We lived in MN for 7 years and don’t think we can take those kind of mild winters anymore.

Well, trenchless will be very expensive I think. I’ll find out on Friday. But to dig it out myself is pretty much a non starter. I either need to remove sections of deck or do it under the deck where there is about 1ft vertical space. So I would be on my gut trying to dig down a couple of feet. Trenchless is the way to go from a logistical…[Read more]

Thanks AC. I have been thinking of Tigon tubing, but wire might do well. #6 gage? That’s pretty thick stuff.

I asked a co-worker about this whole thing and we found an outfit that can do trenchless septic lines. They are coming over on Friday to see if this is something they can do and if so, how much it will cost.

I have a sump pump for the kitchen area. This was done because the old tile piping broke and caused a flood. Rather than dig out a new route to pipe it to the septic line, the guy put in a sump with a pump. The pump runs off of my outdoor electrical outlet under the deck. The deck is why he didn’t want to dig. So that’s what I have.

That is hilarious!! Hopefully the catcher catches on before he goes pro word.

64 today, 70 tomorrow. Wet out but not raining. Rains again on Sat, then Mon and then Fri. Temps dipping out of the 70s after tomorrow. That is if those lying weather dudes are correct word.

mspart

Busy little guys word.

Raining here. Supposed to get about an inch in the next 24 hours. Will rain for a few days and then stop for a few days and then it constant from then on as we move into the wet wintery season word.
