May 6, 2007 :: Have I Mentioned That I Hate Plumbing?
Have I ever mentioned that I hate plumbing? I mean, really, really HATE plumbing? I do. I detest it. I'd rather be sodomized by a syphlytic goat than do plumbing, generally.
So why am I writing about plumbing? Because I replaced it. All of it. In two days. I'm exhausted, I ache all over, and the basement has water everywhere and smells like an old dog wearing a soggy Depends®. So, this will be all of the writing for me. Pictures are below, and I'm gonna take a shower and go to bed.
There's 25% of my plumbing. The evil pipe from hell is on the right.
That looks like new plumbing mixed in with the assorted crap, doesn't it? It is. I've discovered that not only do I hate CPVC, but I suck at installing it. I'm fine with PVC, but CPVC kicked my ass.
Here's some more of that crap from the basement...
Some of the new PVC cold water line. Yes, I'm sloppy with the purple primer.
Here's the new hot water stuff. I really, really, really love Pex.]
More Pex, and that's the end of the plumbing.
A few days ago I moved all of the lumber scattered about on the lawn and put it against the garage wall. There are also two old cast iron sinks there. You can have them if'n ya want them.
And just for fun, here's a pic of the house across the street (yes, it's night time at the moment). This one has been visited by the Plastic Faerie, but at least they kept the old window trim, covering it with white aluminum. Too many people install new plastic windows and plastic siding, making no concession for window or door trim. The results are always horrific. Lloyd kept the trim, and it makes his (apartment) house look much better than most Plastified houses.
