What home improvement work did you do today?

Looks good but better get some solder on the joints.

 

Did you use L or M copper?

 

Good eye, that was a photo after mockup before it got dark. It's all soldered up and holding water now. Only reason I snapped a photo was for a coworker tackling the same task tomorrow.

 

Everything looks straight good job!

 

I used M for the irrigation. L is technically only for commercial applications, but I used L on my entire boiler room.

 

When we build a house or remodel we always use copper most builders are now using pex.

 

Pex is definitely a love hate relationship with the trade. I supply a ton of mechanical contractors that are old school and still use copper. Pex and CSST gas pipe were just coming on the scene in 2006 when I started in this trade, now it seems to be taking over. Uponor makes a very good product. I've been to their factory in Minnesota and witnessed some CRAZY hydraulic and pressure tests. Their fittings and pipe are nearly bulletproof....until a framer or tinner hits it with a nail gun.

 

Yeah I have worked beside my dad forever and guess I'm just stuck in the past also.
Nothing looks better than a good straight plumbing job done in copper. When I built my house in 07 I ran the whole house in type L copper.

 

We have 1 custom home builder that uses K, but he also builds 2 million dollar homes. Crazy guy...

 

The boat has been sitting in the slip since last summer, so last night I went and got her and brought her home for a cleaning to get ready for this summer. As expected, lots of algae.




Called the boat service center and got some acid shit...not sure what it is, but it worked amazing...Algea was coming off in sheets.

 

Helped my wife get the indoor horse arena & entertaining areas ready for our first annual Boots, Boubon & Bow ties Kentucky Derby event tonight. I can’t wait!

 

Worked. I worked. Gotta pay the bills/buy the truck parts!!!!

 

The wife and i sanded a dresser and all the drawer faces for 3 hours today. Still have to fill in some holes and reinstall a rail I repaired. Maybe paint it next weekend

 

Looking good!

 

Looks good Sean!

 

Looks good, I like how the rock outlines your yard. Is that a common landscape theme in Colorado?

 

Installed under counter lighting....planted 17 shrubs...now I’m going to perfect some chemistry...changing bourbon to urine

 

Spent a little time at the home of Army Aviation, now I'm sipping on a cool adult beverage...

 

Painted more trim, cleaned the koi pond, pressure washed the back of the house, cleaned some screens and windows, broke a window crank and killed a metric shit ton of spiders. Now I'm following @Stulloh 's lead and turning some beer into urine and hoping my Pens can pull out game 5.

 

Already done, pipe laid wire ran outlets put on, let ther be light!

 

My serpentine belt was due for a change, so I swapped that out as well as the tensioner and idler pulley to see if it will finally get rid of the honking goose noise my truck makes on cold starts during the winter.

 

Last night I installed a 6" tint strip on top edge of windshield to make up for Tundras lack of tint. Today I installed sound deadening foam in doors and some Infinity Kappa 60CSX component speakers. Tomorrow is for fishing and maybe a little yard work.

 

Celebrated Cinco de Mayo with a Pacifico I brought back from Baja and Pizza. Now I'm just waiting for the Las Vegas Supercross finale to start.



I tastes way better than the stateside Pacifico.

 

Mowed the lawn and edged in the sidewalks.
I have a split shaft echo trimmer that I have an edger attachment for, love that thing. Started planting some flowers today, tomorrow I will work on the cobblestone edging around my deck.

 

Great job! What grass is that?
