Someday, you know, like torture our whatever, when I build a house, I’m totally doing the plumbing myself. See, this morning, I went to take a nice got shower but the water never turned hot. The damnable filter was clogged again, and with too little flow, it does nothing. Having a network alert would be awesome. Having a better filter design would be awesome. Having a…
Well, really I’m just not a huge fan of the design. It’s an inline water heater. In the garage of a three story townhouse. A townhouse where the showers are in the third story. It’s basically a who’s who of how to be environmentally stupid in an environmentally conscious way. If I want a hot shower in the morning, I have to start the water going full blast for about two minutes. That’s two minutes of flushing all the cold water from the pipes. I live in Seattle. Here we have some of the most conscientious power generation on the country, as in hydroelectric. So my water heater is gas. How difficult would it be to do electric at the showers. Hell, the showers are back to back, you’d only need one for the third floor. Oh well.
Someday I’ll do my own plumbing. And pull my own cable. And let my own tile. Landscape my virgin yard.
I guess it’s just one of those things where I’m relatively sure I can do most anything if I try. The other day a co-worker was breeding about dickering a gentleman from 10,000 to 5,000 on laying tile on his kitchen and bathrooms. Mind you, my co-worker had bought his own tile. I know I’d just take a week off work, buy a tile saw and get to work. But that how I roll. I can’t think of anything legal that would pay me 5,000 for a week off work, let alone his tile guy’s three days of work.
Peter's stuff.
