Ugh...long day at work. 52 phone calls and 15 walk-ins. Couldn't get a damn thing accomplished.
Really sucks since it's a short week this week and next. Compound that with parts are getting harder and harder to get I'm telling customers once again it'll be 3-4 weeks before I get to their vehicle

sounds like you and I have nearly the same job

 

[Ballstater98]

Over by the Jeep dealer down to Stracks if it affects you.

I changed every cut off to 1/4 turn ball valves years ago.

Don't buy them at Menards!

 

[CTC B4Z]

I installed pex and copper manifolds but I still have some pex to pvc connections under the sinks I have to redo. But I installed 1/4t shut offs on everything.

Peeing in my yard doesn't intimidate my dogs, they just pee over it.

Start changing a toilet around 6.
Almost done, but it's higher up, so I need a new part to get the water from the valve to the tank.
Go get the part.
Install it.
Finish toilet.
Everything is okay.
EXCEPT the valve is slow dripping.
Used a wrench to tighten it against the seat (of the valve).
Still drips.

How I have to change the valve tomorrow.
Ugh.

Now if I can remember the water shutoff to the house.
I think... garage?

You guys may have jinxed me.... Off to check out new water softeners....

 

[tv1217]

I need a water softener. I have well water. I could turn on the faucets and set the Hue lamps to red to create an ambience while reading Dante's Inferno.

 

[actaeon277]

You should have seen the iron in the toilet I just threw away.
No wonder I couldn't keep it clean.

why did you have an iron in your toilet?

 

[Hawkeye]

why did you have an iron in your toilet?

Submariners used to press their sh!t?

 

[tv1217]

Act was systems but if he was a regular mill electrician, I would think it was because he was taking a bath and figured if a toaster works, why not an iron?

 

[CheeseRat]

No, he eats a lot of spinach and other high iron foods I think? And it didn't flush, so he threw it away.... Ew!

Best thing I ever did. The cheap bastards that owned my house prior had not even a filter on the well water and I'm pretty sure their dumbasses were drinking it too.

At Menards now, a little luck in a not so lucky day. Looks like we're going to have a direct, same brand and model softener swap...

I think I did the Morton one.

Peeing in my yard doesn't intimidate my dogs, they just pee over it.

I teach all of our dogs to use pee pads in the house when they can't go out. Best way to get them to use them is for me to pee on them a little right in the middle of the pad.

Nope!! Not touching that one…..

 

[Snapdragon]

Weird, but it works. The dogs mark over it and get in the habit of going there.
