ORIGINAL: sappatoti Whatcha need a hand with pure? Just finished the install of the new faucet for the Elderlies and it works with no leaks. Yay for faucets that don't leak!!! Did the special handy dandy tool help? As much as I hate to admit this... yes, the special tool did help. Looking at it I'd never have thought it would have survived busting through the corrosion. It's made of the same material that the Trex material is that is used for outdoor decking (old recycled milk cartons and other plastics). For being a plastic tool, it surprised the hell out of me. Of course, if I had just driven the twenty or thirty miles to the closest real hardware store and picked up a six-inch long 5/8" socket, it would have done the same thing. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of things I'd go out of my way to do for the Elderlies, but driving 40 to 60 miles round trip for a socket I'll never use again ain't one of them. quote:
ORIGINAL: purepleasure i could keep you busy for a couple of weeks. there's tree trimming, a few home repair things, just things that I've been putting off all summer, and now that the weather is NICE and not ungodly hot/humid, it's time to get the house ready for fall and winter. *pondering what else I could keep sappa busy with. ohhhh the possibilities* Sounds like stuff I used to do when I was living up there. It's all coming back to me...
