It was a long day, but we managed. Set the lower cabinet and installed a plywood sub-top to support a stone countertop. Which someone else will manufacture. Then I can install the upper cabinet.

None of these remodel jobs are ever straight forward. Where this cabinet is set ther used to be a chase with an old water heater vent running through it from the basement. I removed the chase reframed and sheet rocked the corner prior to building the cabinets. I will probably be on this job on and off for a few years, great clients with lots of plans.

Very nostalgiac. I've been paranoid about smelling burnt toast everytime I have in the past two decades as a result. Up there with the Great Canadian House Hippo or Astar, the Robot from Planet Danger. As far as Heritage Minutes go, still can't top this one
about the Rocket putting up an eight spot after spending the previous day day helping his family move and unpacking the next. The first time I was in Montreal a buddy of mine offered to take me to the old forum. I was pretty excited to see the old shitty rink, with the chainlink fencing to keep the poor folks away from the fancy sections. Turned out it was a shopping mall, with the only remnant being a questionable looking statue of Richard in the middle. I guess that's what 50 goals in 50 games gets you.

Yeah, that was probably too Canadian, I'll turn er off for a minute here.

Harvested a plant probably a week earlier than I should have because I thought I saw mold in a bud, it wasn’t mold it was the paper side of a price sticker from the bamboo garden stake that the bud grew around :dunce: On the bright side I’ll have a bunch of new dank ass weed to smoke sooner than I planned, but still it could’ve gone another week or two:wall:4BA724F9-DB26-46AE-8DFC-B29029BDEBA4.jpegC5C4CFF1-C5D7-469B-B86B-C262EA4CAC1B.jpeg91E1D297-08FE-419C-AEEE-FB02BB5EC3D4.jpeg

Checked under the sink this morning to see if the valve I put in was still dripping, looks like it fixed itself. I'm OK with that.

Sometimes when the water in a copper pipe is very cold in a warm environment water will condensate on the outside of the cold line. I had a client think his toilet was leaking. He decided to tighten the bolts himself. He tightened them so much it pulled the toilet flange right out of the slab, oops. That's when they called me. While repairing the toilet flange I noticed someone had had their way with the sink's cold water supply too, ugh. I never saw any signs of leaks, and suspected that both attempted repairs were unnecessary.

Unfortunately my water is never that cold. It was leaking around the nut slightly, I guess it is a compression fitting, couldn't really see in it.

I just had a weird one. The guy who bought my motorcycle a few days ago just called, and he was not able to title it, as they couldn't read the document number. It was like that when DMV sent it to me, but you can read the serial number fine so I thought it would be ok....Nope!!

I was able to order a replacement on line for $20, and supposed to be here in 5-7 business days, but I know DMV is backed up from Covid...I hope for his sake it comes quick....AND I hope he doesn't use this to ask for a refund :o He has not even picked up the bike yet....Nothing is ever easy anymore!!

Ran out of coffee this morning. :shock: I'm going to get take and bake pizza for dinner so I might as well swing by Wally world and get some, and dog food, and a new sun shield for the truck windshield. I'm good if I can get out of there for under a C note...

Don't forget BEER :p It's hot enough I'd drink one in a frosty iced mug...sounds pretty damned good!!

I need to go get propane for my grill...I was cooking a burger for lunch and ran out just as the burger went on...Thought I had an extra full one in the garage, but I thought wrong!!
