Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I do NOT miss the old nasty galvanized pipes that I had in a place years ago. No water pressure. If someone was in the shower and you flushed the toilet then you just made a new enemy.
Whoever thought that galvanized pipes were a good idea? ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Watched the roofers tear into my old roof. Lots of stuff needs replacement. Going to have to tent for termites.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I'm SO happy with my water flow now. Used 3/4 inch almost everywhere. I got the shower going then flushed the toilet, I did not notice any difference in temp or flow. Insulation, house wrap and siding starting tomorrow.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
All galvanized drain I've seen the problem was sized too small. When galvanized came to be they figured it would stand up to decay better than cast iron. It was the between product ahead if PVC. My place had 2" galvanized running almost level into a 3-4" cast iron stand pipe. Might have even had a length of flexible black plastic clamped in there somewhere. Long time ago now, first thing I changed here. Shower didn't like to drain much

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Termites are the worst . I had a small problem with them they sprayed the area and then put in bait stations . I refilled them twice and after about 3 months no bait was taken but the stations are still in the ground .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Due to the current heat I didn't do anything. I was going out there working on the outboard motor and boat but now, well, it's not going anywhere any time soon so no rush.
Speaking of outboard motor, I did myself a favor and converted my motor to electric start and charge. I don't use the rig often but it is getting increasingly difficult for me to pull start it. It's cooler than the other side of the pillow now. ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I'm on a self imposed work slow down today. The heat and my house work has caught up with me. Will get washer/dryer off the porch and back into the laundry room, and some other small things. The siding can wait till tomorrow.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Watched roofers skin off the old roof and repair some dry rot. "Supervised" the delivery and placement of the new underlayment and shingles onto the roof. Boy, were those delivery guys grumpy, bordering on belligerent. After 5 PM on a hot hot Friday would be a good excuse, I guess.

My Fedex guy is usually nice and chatty. This last delivery not so much. It was 107 degrees and he looked miserable.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
It’s hard to do anything in the garage these days. Even at only 97-deg, no thanks.

I go out in the morning and inside by about 1pm. It was 98º yesterday with a heat index of 105º. Nice 88º today with a decent breeze. I can handle that. LockDoc

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
The first 90-deg day in early summer feels pretty hot. But after a few weeks straight of 105-113, 95 feels AMAZING…

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That's about the same for me. The heat and humidity in the ole metal build are getting tough on this old yankee body.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
FEDEX Ground allegedly delivered my new grille from LMC at 10:17 PM yesterday. I say allegedly because I have video cameras up, and there isn't even an indication of a vehicle driving on the street, as they pick up the reflection of the headlights off of things at the very least. Let alone someone in the driveway. Drove around the neighborhood looking to see if it was simply mis-delivered, but didn't see it.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That may well be...but there was a picture taken of the package leaning against a garage wall...but it's not my garage. Our HOA is architecturally different from the rest of the houses on either side. I realized that when I was out trolling for the box. I have a claim in with FEDEX already.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I kinda felt my age today. I applied for Social Security a while back and they finally set me up with a phone appointment. In September.
![]() ![]() But this conformation letter cracked me up. The font is huge. I guess that they know their audience. Old people. I put the conformation for my wife's cruise to Mexico next to it for comparison. I'm not going to Mexico. ![]() ![]() ![]()
