Think, is the operative. It was a ballbusting task. Getting the floor jack down there, I thought, was going to be the heavy lifting. Nope! Not an easy thing, but not terrible. The 2x1 worked. I did have to adjust it, a lot. Between going to far, and not far enough, using the jack, I finally realized I could move the small beem with my hands, pulling it closer to let the pipe down, pushing away to get the side I needed lifted raised.
Even so, getting the strap in was a nightmare. Very little space. I had to switch the 2v battery on the flashlight to the cordless impact drive in order to get the impact driver up to hit the self-tapping bolts I was using. Oh, but that was half of it. Getting the rubber piece to fit, and stay one, while jiggling the pipe between way to high and back to base, which was way too low. Ugh.
It... was problem solving with solid physical exertion thrown in to make the test real. Real it was. But, after tinkering, sorting, wrestling, lifting, lowering, moving, the various components involved, I... think I got it. But, so worn. We'll see how it goes. I'll let it sit for while. Can test when the laundry runs.
To this point, all good. But I am taking a break. Oh, I checked the trash bin. It was emptied at some point. So I moved that back to it's place. After the rest, I will get to a shower. Then start the laundry, for swimming. If the pipes hold well, no dripping, I'll get the tools and parts up. Though I'll leave the tub down there, in place under the pipes, just... to make sure. I'll empty and remove that in a week or so if it keeps proving to be a dry patch.
I also obtained a few new "watch faces" for my digital watch. Just some things I want to try out. Including one with a local map, and possibly with connection to weather radar/etc. That feature costs a few dollars (literally), but might well be worth it? Hmm, don't really get bad weather here, but... maybe anyway? I'll think on it... assuming it works as is. Gotta find out.
No for my break.
