Some of it.

I didn't get started until later.  Why?  Because.  The first thing I hit, as planned, was the sink.  A bit of tinkering fixed one of the problems.  A very little tinkering, and finding a gasket to allow the nut to seal/tighten on the pipe allowed for a rather quick fix.  The guy who installed the reverse osmosis system didn't see fit to install, or ask if I had, a gasket.  Idiot.  I only had it installed because I had mistakenly thought an electric outlet had to be run.  I'll keep checking for leaks this next week.  But from a bit of testing it seems to be holding.  It is wonderful to have the kitchen sink back, save that now I'm going to have to use it!  Bleh.  I was also thinking... if I really am going to do the drip irrigation thing... I might as well look more seriously into a house wide water prefilter.  I just need it to be easy to install and maintain.  If I get that going then I will take the faucet that is giving me trouble apart and see if there is sand in there, or rust, or... just what is blocking the flow.  No use doing it until then though.  But... done, with that part of that part.

Next I hit the plumbing in the bathroom.  I have everything soldered that needs it, assuming it will all hold.  I have to wait for a bit to let it cool before trying it out.  For now I can just do a closed loop, using one of the flexible hoses to bypass the water heater and just send cold water on through.  If the soldering holds, then I can, and might yet tonight, install the new toilet.  Or not, it is getting late.  Still, it would be nice not to have to traipse through the cave to the far side just to empty my bladder in the morning.  I wonder how many times I will do that while still half asleep anyway?  Ha!  Well, and I am watering the garden a bit tonight.  Simply put, even watering yesterday, it needed it again.

As for tomorrow?  Depends on when I wake.  I have to be to town... or really leave here by 11:00, or that's the plan.  If I am up early enough to wake a bit, I might at least attempt to figure out how to check the voltage and or ground status on the various wires coming in through the w.heater wiring.  Maybe, maybe not.  Or if I decided not to install the toilet tonight I might do that.

It wasn't much but it was as much as I could get to.  Oh, one thing, when working with pipe, trying to get fittings to depth so as to solder, gloves, and leather gloves really, sure had a lot of positive grip and seemingly added strength to the process.  I was really having trouble with it barehanded.  Then again the pieces are so tiny in my hands, and copper pipe and fittings aren't always all that exact.  I wonder if there are higher quality fittings, or more sure fittings, or tools that allow for a little correcting, or if it is always pot luck?  I'm amazed what I put together up to this point has soldered solidly. Yeah, this is it for the night as to blogging.  I'll update you on any progress, problems, or such in the morning.

Good night.
