waking up

Waiting for the temps to warm up a bit more before going to the park for a walk.

I decided to volunteer at my new church home this year, so next week I will be helping out with 2nd grade Sunday School

Thinking about the next thing to do with the house. Since it got colder it takes longer to get hot water out of the kitchen tap. I traced the pipes and they are perhaps best described as "interesting". I have a roll of red PEX so have a feeling I'm going to be cutting pipework away before long. Initially at least I'm going to accept the areas I'm working will have no hot water at all. I can live with that, and connect them up again later. It's probably about time I fix it, part of the hot water plumbing is literally supported by a piece of string looped around the knob-and-tube wiring that was live until I started ripping that out, and many of the valves are elderly and don't work very well. One is decayed, presumably because of decades worth of a very slow drip. Another sometimes has a very small patch of water on the floor below it. Nothing is bad enough to warrant urgent attention but if I'm having to deal with one problem I might as well pick up a load of valves from the hardware store and replace the whole lot.

Curiously we have an outside tap on one side of the house and another outside tap on the other side of the house. The second side also has an outside tap inside the breezeway. The curious part is that the breezeway also has a hot tap in it. I'm not sure why you'd want a hot tap in an area like that. I'm debating whether to just leave it there but with an internal valve to turn it off, or look to take it out completely.

Waking up, getting ready for church.

Back from church, looking at prices for the mountain of pipe connectors I'm likely to need to get this plumbing updated.

Two years ago I never even imagined that I'd end up gutting this house and rebuilding just about all of it.

Online via my phone and listening to what Jordans watching.

Starbucks and music that's questionable for a 50-year-old to be listening to

Thwarted by my plumbing. I cut the pipes I need to redirect only to find they were 1" diameter pipes. Everything else is 3/4", so of course I bought attachments that fit 3/4" pipes. So now I have to wait until I can get an adapter to convert 1" pipe to 3/4".

For good measure when I put the pipe supports in place I forgot to put a lining in them. Steel pressing against copper isn't something I want for an extended period, so tomorrow I'm going to have to take them off and line them with something. Maybe tomorrow I'll get into town and find some adapters. The local hardware store doesn't stock much to work with 1" pipe.

Sitting here. Posting and drinking coffee.

Been tinkering with my code again. Finally got some feedback from the customer, and it's almost exactly how they need it. A couple of minor tweaks and we should be good to go. Now I can focus on the enhancement to the specification they asked about, which will hopefully mean I can sell more licenses.

I wanna see when your done.

Just woke up from a nap. Now I'm sitting on the couch.
