a much warmer 28 degrees going up to 57 today in bright sunshine. Now that's a fine Saturday. And very surprisingly considering I still have a few pools of standing water, there is a fire warning out for eastern NC due to very low humidity and drying winds, and to be careful with outside burning.
Eric, I went furniture shopping too this week, bought an Edgecomb sofa and loveseat, built right here in Pinetops NC. I picked out the fabric and in a month it should be here.
They sadly did not offer a Burberry plaid....perhaps you could get your coat of arms sewn in the back!
Might want to check with the wife first...
I took a nice hot shower this morning, confident knowing that the main shower drain was now connected, which apparently it had never been due to wires getting crossed/lack of GC oversight frankly, so for the last week I have sent hundreds of gallons of hot water down into the full conditioned crawl space, creating a lake a foot deep in one corner of my newly remodeled home.
You can imagine my reaction to the hvac guy, who was there to enlarge the heat ducting into the new bathroom (tile floors way too cold) and add a return in the bedroom area, and I got the
Mr Drew, you have a small problem. The Anglicized version of
Mister Drew, we have leetle problem.
So emergency call to the plumber, who showed up in an hour, somewhat embarrassed because they were the folks who should have hooked up the drain, but they didn't know the tile guy had cut the pipe. The GC sure did know...and this one day after the two week old cheap Chinese wax seal put down by the carpet guys laying vinyl in the small upstairs bathroom, failed, due to a cockeyed install and a wax seal that unlike the two dollar more one, medium brown vs white/clear btw, was junk compared to what the plumbers brought. So water leaking down through the hallway ceiling, luckily never dripping actually, necessitating a trip to Lowes for Kilz ,but thankfully I caught it early on. Hopefully the ceiling will dry out without issue and I can then paint over after it's totally dry.
So your lesson of the day is don't skimp with wax seals. The alternatives are not how you want to spend part of your Saturday. But the best part is I'll forget about all of it when I head out to the woods this afternoon with my loppers and chain saw. Hundred feet a day. All is good.
