    Hi everyone. Longwinded catchup coming.
    We had about 6” snow in Southern Vermont couple days ago. Little bit of flurries today.
    Pushed snow around with the tractor yesterday and this morning cleaned the pumpkins and cornstalks off the porch in preparation for “Her Highness’s” Christmas decorations. I would have rethought building that wraparound porch if I had known it had a seasonal and holiday theme that had to be changed often.
    Today I had a lot of phone stuff so had to stay close. So the ol shop got some cleaning, rearranging, and just generally organizing.
    The Woodchuck furnace is running about 400 degrees on the flue pipe surface 73 degrees in the shop and plenty of dry wood on the rack, the old pickup parked for the winter and room for the tractor made in the 2nd bay.
    So now it’s beer, music, and a comfortable shop seat till supper in the house in a bit.
    Life is good…

    I bet that would be a mess, her school requires phones in lockers during most the day, and I pray they NEVER have an emergency!!

    Now there's an approach I never thought of...water hammer that crack open! :thumbs:
    Since that pipe has some age to it, and is starting to cause trouble, I'd figure on a full replacement in the next year or two...once it starts, it doesn't get any better.
    Good luck on the repair! :handshake:

    Our vacation to South Africa which was to happen mid-January got cancelled today.
    Two years in a row now.
    Third time's a charm ?

    Ha! Sorry for pessimism, no doubt a new bath floor would look great! But I'm sorry about your trip.

    I'd say I'd find a different destination for a few years. Just going off of the chances so far.

    You probably don't want to get stuck there when a sudden ban on travel is announced for sure!

    Students are not supposed to use their phones in classes. Parents phone the office in a panic because they can't get the child on their cell phone. Duh! Give your head a shake.

    Years ago I ran across a facebook conversation my teenaged cousin was having with some school friends, I assumed they had the day off. Nope, they were in class!

    Mystery solved, found a car dealership advertisement in some old mail. There was another key in there to try to win a car.

    That's happened already to some Americans as we speak.
