Yes, yes, no, and a yes to a no.

.

I got the last valve on.  This time I remembered that I have sealing... go.  Plumber's tape is fine, if you can reach in there.  It's not so good for wrapping around pipes that are already a stretch to reach, and further are right next to a wall.  Goop is your friend.  I even bought high temp, high pressure, for an abundance of caution.  So it's good for hot and cold, and mostly non-toxic!  Whatever.  Turning the water on after exchanging valves is... always a time of concern.  These held, just fine.  The problem is the sink faucet still won't let much water through.  Yeah, I know.  So, tomorrow, I'll be checking the hoses (didn't do that today, just focused on the valves, one of which was definitely faulty... though if memory serves, they both were.  If it isn't the hoses, then I'll have to pull out the faucet and do a tear-down to see if I can't fix it, clear it, whatever.

With the valves holding, I simply didn't want to tinker much more with that.  No need to go causing a problem I'm in no shape to mess with.  I've already had a shower, twice in one day is pushing it..  But I did water the new plants and flowers.  I'll probably soak them again tomorrow, then take that down to twice a week.  Hmm... might put that on my e-calendar.  Wednesday and Saturday?  Tuesday and Friday?  Don't know.

Oh, and the yes to a no?  I'm hungry.  But there is no way I can cook anything with the mess I have going.  So... in to town.  I think the pizza joint is probably closed.  I could call and see if I could order pick up, if they aren't closed.  If not, fast food.  Oh yes, hungry as a bear.

Good night.
