Sept 27th - Getting Closer
Yesterday it rained on and off most of the day. Last night it was quite foggy, through this morning. Today was beautiful.
Yesterday I turned on the water inside our building and filled the hot water heater. I found out that just test fitting CPVC joints is not enough, you actually have to glue them. I forgot to glue one of the hot water joints for the lavatory. It held until I turned the hot water on and off, in the tub, a couple of times. Then WHAM and I had a 1/2" line spewing water into the future kitchen area. A lot of water can come out a line that size while a person gets the supply shut off.
Today I turned it back on and so far everything looks good. I actually ran some hot water into the tub.
We put two coats of primer on the drywall today. The plan is to finish paint it tomorrow. After painting I can set the toilet and install the lavatory.
Late this afternoon we drove into town, picked up our library cards (the library is awesome for a town this size), took some jpg files to Walgreens and had some "passport" photos printed (for camp applications), and went to the hardware store for a few more "parts."
By the time we leave the bathroom should be fully functional.
We have kept postponing going in and getting the rest of Tom's wood. I think tomorrow may finally be the day.
I think we will finally head for Deer Creek Retreat, south of Nashville, on Friday.
Good night to all and may God bless you and yours.
