What did you accomplish today?

[argo945]

I got a little more work done on my bath job. I sweat up the two-way diverter valve and beaver chewed thru some 2x4'st get er in. Ugly but she will work.

Peace.

[ThaWeedguy]

Ugh I hate when I have to redo a bathtub / shower an pecs is always fun to work with

[Jellypowered]

Those fittings sure do add up quick though!

[cannabissequoia]

it didn't used to be so easy(you may know)
i had a CAD teacher using AutoCAD 2 on a 286, sans mouse, but had this tablet/pen contraption about 18"x18"...the guy said the computer had to "warm up" like a car and sometimes "a good whack"

my plumber dad does the silliest-cleanest soldering & recently talked about recoppering my place just because he's embarassed by the work he did in the '70s. (and PEX would be out of the question)...nutter made copper flashing for his siding, 40k hand perfected cedar shakes all primed/painted individually & hung on rafters to dry...etc. passersby comment on it all the time & one couple was told "only a factory" could make such perfect corners.

(blood sweat tears)

Hot sun has meant the pond got a bit green. Pretty quick. Considered spending some cash on an actual filter but decided to make one with a uv steriliser. A bit of old foam. A fountain pump and some hosepipe oh and an oxypot.

Sat and watched the water clear up enough to see my fish enjoying themselves. Goldfish not koi. (Ponds not big enough)

I'll post back in a week or so and see if it actually works. But money spent today £0

Purchased my first 2 clones (they came and were delivered in a box); they already look like the heat from the sunlight hurt them a bit (only $25 dlls each was charged and so let's see how this experiment goes). I'll take a few pics but knowing that the clones are already like 2 feet tall what should be the next pot to put dirt in (as well as what recommendations for dirt, e.g. fox farms, etc...) and how big of containers.

I live in Southern California and the temperature is ~ 85 deg on average right now (with a slight breeze); therefore, decided to just put the plants on a paper plate and put outside to get some fresh air in the shade and see if the plants perk up while I decide how to go about 'tending' for them.

I'm super excited to start this 'mini adventure' with horticulture.

Saludos and enjoy the World Cup as well (if watching/following)...

Nice one bro btw how you doin with keeping the cat away from those goldfish?

It's 8.30pm and still around 80F here just now and the only wind is from that ganja cookie i ate earlier

[Albannach]

Today i took an outboard motor apart and spent much longer trying to get replacement parts arranged.

I also read happy birthday maui wowi - i wont ever get that time back...

[Mr.Sparkle]

lol did that second part and fully agree.

[Albannach]

Yeh.......... i'm feeling better now that cookie has fully kicked in

[Mr.Sparkle]

haven't touched anything today or yesterday, but will when i get home

But to add to the original purpose of the thread, i finished off the paperwork yesterday for acquiring our new place which we get possession of on saturday

Today i need to do some clean up and organizing.

[Albannach]

Congrats @Mr.Sparkle i hope your new place brings you happiness and prosperity

[Colanoscopy]

how you doin with keeping the cat away from those goldfish?

It's a knobhead mate. Not arsed about the fish just the water mint

[Albannach]

Cant blame it in this heat eh. Our two are passed out and snoring on our bed, again, it's what they do best i suppose.

[Tinytuttle]

Made it to 48 years of age today, and hopefully another 48 more! It's funny I don't feel this old!

[hewhocoruptz]

Nice dude! I have been wanting to put a pond in my backyard recently.

[Colanoscopy]

This is only a tiny one for the minute but the Mrs is allowing me a koi pond at the bottom

[hewhocoruptz]

Hell yeah man, living the dream

[argo945]

I got the hand held drop ear moved over one cavity so the hose would not hang in front of the niche. I also got the niches framed in and the insulation in. Cement board tomorrow.
