When my husband got home form work yesterday he started in on one of the projects that is on his list of house projects. This project was brought up a while ago when I started to plant a garden and had no backyard water spigot. All in all this hasn't been a problem until I expanded the garden and now we are going on vacation with no one to water the plants.
Hubby put in a wonderful sprinkler system that weaves though all the plants and will eventually have a timer on it while we are gone. However, there is still no backyard spigot or enough water pressure to run the whole thing the way he wants it.
So, when he got home he came with a bunch of copper piping... hummm.... and told me to fill a bucket with water since he had to shut off the main water supple. That meant NO water in my house!
He ripped out the old piping and started to "dry fit" the new pipes. He got most of it fit together and sweat a few of the pipes before he crashed for the day.
Once he had a nap he was back at it! He fit and sweat all the pipes to the main line so we have water again! We are still working on getting a new spigot for the backyard and reconnecting the front yard spigot to the main line.
At this point in our home ownership I think he has replaced 75-80% of the pipes, 90-95% of the electrical wires, and we have redone 3 rooms worth of hard wood floors. I'd say that more than the average home owner does... and we're not done yet!
We still have a bathroom to finish!
