What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Glad you got it taken care of. Why did it freeze? Around here, the septic system area is always an off limits area during the winter.

 

Temps rise a little.....site participation drops.

 

I had my sewer pipe freeze once caused by a dripping faucet. There was bare ground, wind, and sub zero temps which aggravated the issue according to a plumber friend. I never leave faucets dripping to prevent frozen pipes.

 

Everything here is coated with ice. The sun is now out and the temp is 34 so I think most of that ice will go away.

 

You are a brave man to fix a sewer line. I know your options are few when those things happen.

 

Looks like fun!
How do you freeze up a line in 49* weather?

 

Been froze since the cold spell we had.

 

Whadja do, hafta rent a portapooper?

 

I always say the only thing worse than plumbing repair is plumbing underground.

 

My cousin's house has concrete floors with buried plumbing. Back in the day I helped with many a leak and repair. Hammering out concrete under a sink is awesome said nobody ever.

 

Yeah I had to go to Presque Isle today. Fun ride until about 7:3o this morning when I hit Smyrna.

 

Of all repairs to make around a home……I absolutely, positively hate plumbing ! I’ve done it but still hate it!!
Electrical, structural, finish carpentry no problems.

 

Thank you, building inspector.....

 

I despise drywalling.

 

But..........you'll have too admit. It's a great place for septics!

 

I despise hanging wall paper even more. Thankfully haven’t had to do any in over 25-30 years, even then I was the grunt and my wife did the actual hanging

 

Plumbing and drywalling overhead are not my favorite things but I try to make the best of it while I cuss a bit doing it.

 

Yes! That’s why I always made my wife and kids leave the house during a plumbing repair/project!

 

Wow. Three youngest kids Birthdays done.
Thankful my wife took care of most of the cooking while I worked and took care of snow, freezing rain, at two places, (Mom’s and ours), and firewood and other chores.

All done in one night/party. Last night’s dinner was homemade lasagna , tossed salad, garlic bread, and a French Baguette, and then dessert. Each kid got their choice. So we had Eclair cake, carrot cake, and cannoli pie. I Yi Yi !

Twins are now 20! And the youngest is now 17!
W.T.H.?

 

Anyone here part of (or previously a part of) the Home Depot SEEDs Program? Just got an invite to join which is interesting since I haven't provided reviews for many products bought there (i do more reviews on Amazon). I mean what does one say about a light switch cover? I do answer questions when I am able. There are caveats if you join, the biggest being a review has to be at least 350 words and 3 pictures. Once again, how much can you write/show about a light switch cover?

Wish they had invited me back when I was buying tools left and right to work on my house.
