So yep, the remodel saga continues...three days ago my "crew" was going to replace something under the kitchen sink, not sure what, but they found so much mold and dryrot that they decided to replace all the undersink plumbing but THEN we were out of water for about 36 hrs due to the old galvy plumbing springing multiple leaks when they had to move it around some to get the new in... and all new plumbing starting from the main meter so, no dishwasher, no sink, no water to the downstairs bath, can't do the damn dishes in the tub and they are PILING up! Today Uncle Ralph worked alone on the underbelly, couldn't find this couldn't find that, I did the best I could..."plumbers putty? where'd you put it? no, someone is not moving your stuff, what is this? your welcome. plumbing supplies in a bag? where'd you see it last? what's this? your welcome. plumbers tape? where'd you put it down? this stuff? your welcome." then I hear him singing to himself, loudly as Uncle Ralph does, "a tisket a tasket i stripped the basket", so, no sink basket till tomorrow, not that we need one yet anyway. After that, he decided to go home, don't blame him. He spent all day under the house yesterday putting in new copper, all the old pipes were galvy, and rotten. And yes, Ralph made a pot of coffee that he never drank one sip of, can't figure that out.
