Saturday?

Yep.  I am up early, too.  The young man who mows arrived.  I am not sure when, but my mind ear heard the mower, and with the notion of what has to be done, jumped as fast as I could to get on the project.  I really can't mow.  Not a large high patch, especially.  My muscles are really tightening, but I still don't have much stamina.  Working on it.  Hmm, I think I was out of bed by, or shortly after noon?  It looks like all will be done.

I need to figure some other things out.  A trip to town is required.  Cinder blocks, silicone calk and gun, galvanized pipe and brass fixtures, thread and joint compound, and maybe pvc glue.  I may look at the plumbing under the sink again.  To be honest, I don't think I glued that in.  Odd that I haven't had a leak.  The luck of the neophyte?  I want to consider adding a auto-vent and a pea trap with a cleanout access.  Yes, yes, a real vent, to the outside, would be fantastic.  Do you have any idea what that would entail?  Actually, I don't.  Not fully I don't.

Well, a vent?  Let me see...  It would take additional piping, enough to go from the drain pipes to the wall, then up through the attic and out onto the roof.  How I would get the pipe in I can't quite say.  Before that I would have to create a hole in the steel roof and the wall, and figure out dimensions, once I found a safe path for the pipe that also connected to the sink plumbing.  Then I would have to figure out how to support the vent pipe, then how to seal it and make it wind and water-proofed, all give or take.  It is, probably, doable.  How much work is involved would depend on if the walls are slat or drywall, how open the spaces behind whatever the wall is for allowing a vent, how much it would take to figure that out with the least amount of damage...  Yes, it... adds up very fast.  For now... an auto vent will do just fine.  It will sure beat having a drain that moves so slow I can't use the sink for an hour, with no vent.  I just have to hope it is merely a venting problem.  I do have a 12 or 20 foot snake though, if needed...  Gah!

Yes, yes, I am actually... getting somewhere, doing some things.  I have lists.  I have plans.  I have tools.  I have most of the hardware, some of the associated stuff, and some knowledge.  It is coming together.  It is getting done.  Even on my lame 'work nickle'.  I don't have much to spend but I am spending it as best as I can.  I'm even loving it.  I'm going broke and then some.  But with food put up, with the home coming into function again, and with some time after Burning Man to catch up...  I'll be fine.  Unless I die.  But then... I'll be better.  I'm just not that lucky.  *grins* 

I still have to wake up.  It looks like the garden will be mowed.  It is a huge area I am opening, but...  It'll be ready for more gardening, if I can get this part going.  Wow, life really hits you sometimes.  Even mostly dead and I can get to a few things.  If you think you can't, look to me.  If I can, you can.  Find that pep, that fire, that desire.  I can only work an hour at a time, max.  That might be it for a day or two sometimes.  Some things have to... be set aside.  Some things don't get done.  But if it's on my list... eventually... it gets hit.  Do it.

Later.
