up too early
I guess I just couldn't wait for the day...
have no plans other than watering plants and veggies and picking radishes.
Figured I might trade a nice bunch of radishes for Popgadget's plumbing skills.
Want to replace the rv kitchen faucet with one that has a sprayer in it and replace the water inlet
with a new inlet but not black like oem. I went with white to differentiate it from septic flush four inches away.
Both are inlets but wish they were further apart. Current one is abused and wobbly and leaks a little.
with plumbing you need the right goop and the right tools. I usually have neither and I sure don't have PEX.
on my old Bertram I personally replaced most of the plumbing hose on the boat and there was a fair amount.
Easy to do, just double clamp everything with good stainless screw clamps. So that is my experience to date.
I'm guessing PEX holds up better to vibration than clamps.
Part of my regular maintenance, though infrequent, was to put a 1/4" drive and extension
with the tiny socket that fit the nut on the clamps, and snugged up
the clamps. Nothing to do with PEX. I'm guessing that's an issue too.
And of course when you are done tightening you try to leave the nut accessible for next time.
Simple process, just outdated by something better.
However, with clamps, not so hard to take things apart. Good news bad news.
Pretty sure PEX doesn't come apart.
Lastly I want to add new LED turn lights in rear, supplemental, surface mount much higher on rv, very concerned over doing lane changes when I'm not sure they
can see my lights. That's a project for another day, will take some wiring. Ken would enjoy that too, those two guys work well together.
Electrical connectors have become pretty sophisticated, particularly if it needs to be weatherproof.
Now those I'd like to get installed before my Michigan trip.
I get by with the help of my talented friends.
I pay with radishes and fruit muffins.
everyone goes home happy.
cold front coming through, 38 degrees tonight. Just might cover the one raised garden.
Those eggplants almost died at 36 degrees.
Radishes love the cold but I'm sure grow best with lots of water and sun.
it really is fun coming back with a fist full of little red radishes.
I have to give them away because only so many I can eat.
could anyone suggest a lower salt vinegary recipe for pickling them?
