What did you accomplish today?

[Grandpapy]

Wish I would have known where the hole in the pipe was. When you see water coming down, you start sawzalling 1st and ask questions later. Fuck. I hate when that happens. Fuck.

I had a 61 Bug, spun a rod bearing, rebuilt, got 10 miles down the road, rap,rap,rap rap
Parts guy at the counter "Oh, you should of changed the rod as well".

It's not really the same just thought guys like us should stick together.

Woke up, went into garage and surprise!

Water dripping down wall, water on floor, right through luwan ceiling I put up last spring.

Drilled some holes, more water. Sawzalled out some holes, lots more water.

Reached up behind pipe and felt trim nail going into 1/2" pipe. What dumb fuck did that?View attachment 4017803
Nail rusty as fuck, look through the pipe and you see a rust stalagtite going right through it. Fuck.

Cut off pipe and sharkbite a piece of leftover pex up there. No leaks. Have to leave open to dry out, I'll keep checking it.

I was installing a laundry room floor for a customer last year. As I started removing the floor trim I heard" the sound" of spraying water! The carpenter punched a nail into a pex line 7 years prior! The customers wife felt it was my fault and tried getting me to pay the plumbing,drywall and paint repair.i kindly told her I would do NO such thing,i only found a previous problem,i didn't cause it..

Not so long ago my wife said what's that smell . We looked all over and found nothing.

Thinking maybe a varmate had died inside the wall we tore the wall open only to find nothing . then the smell was gone.

Doh. the smell was bad but not as bad as the cost of putting back the drywall and painting the whole room again.

We rented a house that was two stories. The hot water heater was in an unfinished part of the upstairs. Some dumbass stacked leftover bricks on the ceiling drywall. Nothing to support them. About a wheelbarrow full.

The hot water heater safety valve failed and water was running down the wall and ceiling. As the drywall got wet it failed and all those bricks fell through and missed my 2 year old daughter by about a foot.

I was mad as hell.

Jeez , sorry ya'll. I'm always like 100 posts behind. And sometimes find it challenging to catch up.
I asked for FMLA today. It was a freaky brainstorm I had walking by the river yesterday afternoon. Thank god for brainstorms!!

The new Vietnam documentary by Ken Burns is addictive. I watched the first four episodes today (8 hrs).

sharkbites a good if they are on a pipe that will never move... ever. but people putting sharkbite valves and shit or just pipes that arent strapped in right. youre gonna get a leak. ive probably been called out to at least 200 leaks.. that were caused by sharkbites. only sharkbites i use now are the caps for when im roughing in shit

It's even better than I anticipated. It is just SO well done, and the incidental music by Reznor and Ma is exhilarating. May be Burns' best work yet...

I'm not a fan of the " bite " fittings , I think they were better when they first came out, but as the store brands became available ( Lowe's) the quality went to shit.

I just use them in the tomato garden for things, just a couple (like 20 or 30). Now I'm paranoid.
