Plumbing is finally done
After 3 trips to Menards and one failed trip to True Value, I finally finished the bypass around the water softener. It was almost done when the last joint to solder leaked. It was right up against the water softener and I think some water came up and ruined the solder joint. A trip to Menards to buy another fitting and an ‘alternate’ way of putting it together solved the problem. You all know the song from Fiddler on the Roof – If I were a rich man…..If I were a rich man, I’d be a plumber. Now I can get the chlorine and sanitize the well.
Mitch had a band concert tonight. They were really good. From what I remember of my Jr. and Sr. High bands, these middle to high school kids sounded much better than we did.
