Hooray another day in the basement.

The best thing about this weekend is how well my $20 saw held up. I think I got rid of most of the old pipe in the basement, at least all I could get out. My friend the contractor came by to tell me that he thought all the siding might need to come down and I he was surprised at how much pipe I got out.

The most surprising thing to me was the state of the hot water pipes. One by the hot water heater snapped off when I tried to unscrew it, and the pipe to the bathroom sink was almost completely plugged up with rust.

Speaking of the bathroom sink, it decided to start leaking today and I had to replace the drain. So that’s my life right now: plumbing.

(I always just take a picture to take to the plumber’s supply so it’s easier to explain things to the guy at the counter.)
