I saw that on the news.
I was wondering about you.
Hope your going to be okay.
That’s a lot of water.

We are about 15 miles west of the river and 35 to 40 miles south of the spillway. We will be ok. Thanks for asking.

We had to run the heater off and on all day today, the high was 35.

Smitty plumbing....

Did you see any crack....?🤔

No he’s a real pipe laying gentleman.

All that pvc primer and glue will definitely attack the nostrils though. Careful Smitty doesn’t consider it an alternative to Cosby in a can. Ha!

36 and snowing this morning. Sunny and 46 this after noon.

 

[Caper]

10 degrees but sunny. Cold north winds, feels like 0. It would be cool on a snowmobile today. You’d need a plug in suit today. Going to -10 tonight.
Trying to get my brother to go to the camp, so he can shovel the 4 feet into the camp. You have to shovel down to the deck, then to the door.
12 feet.
It’s been up to the top of the outside door.
Too old for that now.

If a plumber can't solder is it really a plumber at all?

Is the plumbing rough in getting closed to wrapped up?

Well, in the modern day of PVC, Quest, PEX etc.......

I suppose a plumber doesn’t have to know how to solder.

Yes, rough in is complete. Today we wrap up loose ends, and pressure test gas, supply and soil.

 

[Montecresto]

I purchased a portable threader so that we could run gas. Very handy tool.

I ran my entire house in Pex....except the shower fixture. It is pex to it, but then the control body up to the shower head and the down to the tub spout had to be copper. I highly doubt anyone calling themselves a plumber couldn't do some solder.
