Late start but really nice day.

I got a bit of a late start today, I didn't roll out of bed until double digits, and Subway didn't sit well.  I did get up there early afternoon. 

Unfortunately, on the way up, apparently one of the light bulbs in the back of my car that I was trying to pawn off on someone decided to explode.  It made a mess.


So I got to spend the first half hour vacuuming everything out, thankfully the shop-vac was up there.


I decided try out the grill cleaner I picked up.  It cleaned up pretty well.  I unfortunately didn't bring my paper towels, so this was all I cleaned with napkins in my car.


The new heat shields are installed as well.  They will probably last as long as the grill at this point. 


I then got back to doing plumbing.  Getting closer to completion.  I got the cleanout adapter installed.


All the cold lines are now insulated.  I even got the source lines installed for the cold.  The 3/4" PEX doesn't bend worth a damn. 


I also got the insulation around the PVC pipes.  This is mostly to keep it from rubbing and creating cracks.


I didn't count right.  I ran out of red insulation, and had some spare blue.  I didn't have enough 3/4 blue insulation though.  I am guessing I don't have enough 3/4 red either, but haven't run those lines yet.  So I have homework to repaint what I do have.  I will need to pick up more.


I even got a few more hangers installed.  The new drill is geared a little different than the old one, it runs a slightly higher RPM, but doesn't have the torque, it is easier to bog down.  Shouldn't be an issue, but still worth noting.


I also brought up a spare 2x4 I had from the AC project last fall.  I screwed it in on both sides of the siding that wasn't "cooperating" and had warped so badly that it I couldn't nail it.  We are supposed to get some storms this weekend, so I am hoping when the water softens the siding a little bit that the pressure applied from this will help warp the siding back closer to straight.  I will have to fill the holes, but still better than having siding curled out.


I do have to work tomorrow (and should have been in bed an hour ago...) but do have Friday off.  I am almost at the point of ticking off the plumbing, though I don't expect that to happen until Sunday, since I haven't even started the gas lines yet. 

Even though there hasn't been any change in a disappointingly long time, the checklist:

1. Fix ruts in driveway.
2. Put lights on the plow.
3. Get the oil changed in the tractor.
4. Get the tire chains installed and a weight installed on the back.
5. Get the plastic installed
6. Get the truck oil undercoated.
7. Fix leaky underbelly.
8. Get skirting installed.
9. Find a way to run power that won't be damaged by snow/plow/snowblower.
10. Find a way to prevent the snow pushing on the shed.
11. Finish clearing off the slab.
12. Run the rough plumbing. (includes gas line for stove)
