I am hitting the kitchen drain first. Why? I am running out of time, that that is where I get water. I need that drain to work in order to use revers osmosis. Yes, it does make a difference here. As I am taping the threads and putting it together, I found one larger error that was easy enough to fix. I have the metal to abs flange together, and the abs to sink plumbing pvc rigged up to the pvc part. I have the main assembly together, up to the corner into the flanges and a bit of a straight pipe. I need to tape the male threads down from the sink basins, which will be a pain, attach the r.o. out into the drain system, figure out the elbow and length of straight pipe needed, then attach those. Actually, this won't need any glue or cement. Which means, if the tape holds, and it goes together right, I should be good to go as soon as I tighten the last thread pattern.
Which... means I am thinking I might be able to get the washroom drain configured, dry assembled to be sure, then cemented and rebuilt into final form. I would like to give it 24 hours to set, maybe 48 hours. Tomorrow is Christmas, and a day off. I don't think I'll be back to work even the day after so That will do. If I do something, I'll begin leveling the machines. Even if just one a day. I'm running out of steam. No, no, I ran out of steam a week ago. I am running out of whatever has been seeing me through this last week. And yet, in a few days, I'll begin again anyway.
After I level and check everything, a few days to a week off. Then back to cleaning the bedroom, I think I decided... well that and laundry. Not much for regular clothes, having washed everything and then started rotating clothes I wear, only changing unders completely out on a daily basis. The rest is cycled, worn a day to three, if just worn a short time. But I do have all my exotics, from wools to silks to synthetics to wash, and from clothes to socks to blankets. That'll be a heck of a lot of loads... probably ten or more just on that. Maybe more due to the various materials and them not always, exactly, able to be washed together.
Absolutely pleased with how things are going. Exhausted, bruised, sore, limping, lame, slowing, but still going.
Oh, something weird this week? I met somewhere between five and eight women, aged between the mid 30's to the low fifties, at a height between 6' and 6'2", with dancer body builds... slim, and I MEAN slim. Oh, well, they noticed me too. Smiles, nervous smiles sometimes, confident smiles others, each was a bit different in that regard. Strangest thing. They all had shorter hair though. No, it wasn't the same women or few women. Each truly was different. Don't ask me. Too late, but would have been interested three decades ago. I swear, tall women hid or something. I only ever met one, and I did date her. I was... just a bit busy back then. Always moving. No choice. Still, a few years later... but no.
Well, back to the sink. I think the washroom drain will be much faster. I just am not sure, even now, I can finish both. And I would rather have water going than a drain for a washing machine which isn't even leveled yet, and I won't be using for a couple of days in any case to start. Ugh. Later.
