The faucets are the easy part.New faucet in the bathroom. The old one was a bitch but finally came out before I got the plasma torch out!I hate plumbing!
It takes a committed, hard working plumber to find a lawn mower in a chimney.
Not my work. Credit to the Master @srh88 .

we actually have a close network of neighbors but these were the new guys and not well attached yet, they never told anybody for 2 days. They think their crew set them up. It's too early in the season to be a random event, the robbers had to know they had just pulled their light deps. The guys that robbed them were not the crew but the crew was out at the time. Come harvest season things hit defcon4 around here. I'm going up tomorrow to re-asses our current security situation and get ready even though were aren't close to harvest. We want to observe and record anyone approaching our property as of today.

If it isn't one thing it is another:

Got a nap in this afternoon and took it kinda easy. Loaded the dishwasher and cleaned the sink and counter. Changed the light temp on the LED light to 4K, I think I like it better than the 5K. Wife wants the other two put up also, so I'll get to that.
I checked the hooks for my light hangars in the grow room and for some reason I put them 15" from the wall, my hoods are supposed to have a 3' footprint so I don't know why I didn't put them at 18" at least. I'll get them moved in the morning, and the raised floor put in. I'm going to pick up 3 under bed storage boxes to catch water in, two pots will fit in them. Less than $10 ea. Buds and suds in progress. Steaks for dinner. Anyone want some zucchini?

In our first house we had a bad rainstorm and the roof got a terrible leak in the rear addition.
When I tore the walls and roof apart there were irregularly spaced lumber studs and screen. The roof was insulated with news paper (now mush).
I tore up the cheapo green apartment shag and underneath was gold shag with mold! My kids crawled on that floor
When I got all of the carpets and padding removed it revealed those old school room linoleum floor tiles . Scrubbed and cleaned and waxed those floors till they sparkled.
I added 2x4s at 16 inch intervals where needed and reroofed and insulated with fiberglass. Replaced the windows with double glazed and added an in-wall air conditioner. That was the nicest room in the house when I was done.
The addition was originally permitted and approved - in the 1950's!

Or, you could go home. Your wife must love this excitement. Sure beats the "cabin". Spend all your time in a trailer with a tiny porta potty surrounded by trap guns that will get you sent back to prison if they hit anyone. Much better than living in your home, living off the alleged $70k/year pension for life you've had since you were 55. Not including her retirement.
Yet no new kitchen for her or Tesla for you. She's a keeper. You've always made good choices. Keep it up.

My wife loves her time on the farm, actually prefers it to Sacramento. The composting toilet works extremely well and i don't mind one bit saving water. We had a bear problem and the 12ga alarms work very well to deter them. Yes I earned a good pension working for the state of Ca for 25 years, and I do much of the cooking now anyways.

She's lucky you've managed the finances that's for sure. Retiring at 55 with a guaranteed $70k for the rest of your life and a paid off home sounds nice. But I'm glad she enjoys the opposite, given her distaste for farm life when she was 40 years younger.My wife loves her time on the farm, actually prefers it to Sacramento.

Yeah I do a pretty good job with the finances and she would be the first to say so. She got tired of dealing with finances a long time ago and prefers not to get involved (as long as I pay off her Amazon account every month)lol. She could care less if the house has a mortgage or not. She's fully committed to what we are doing.

She's a trooper. I'm assuming most financial planners advise folks in their 70's to take out mortgages on their homes and drain their 401k's to grow pot. Why someone would want to do that is lost on me, but I've never been good with numbers.
Especially when you can just sit back, collect $70k every year, never touch your home or 401k and live the good life.
Nah, you did the smart thing and she's reaping the benefits now. Keep it up.

Pablo what's the price of a lb of weed where you are?...right now in NorCal wholesale price is between $1700 to $1600 lb. Conservatively we should harvest 300+lbs this season. My math says that's $400k+. I will split that with the crew, so $200k for me....for doing nothing.
P.S. and i still collect my state retirement pension. Even if i were to go to prison, i still collect my $70k pension...
