I had an addition put on. It seems all they did was pipe into the old plumbing.... hence. Turn on water..... it travels from the new addition part, into the "old" kitchen, and back to the new sink. Same with the drainage. I pull the plug and I can hear the pipes halfway through the house crackle from the heat. It isn't plumbed right. And I need to get it done right once and for all

Other plumbing issues I fixed myself. But this wall is killing me!

I opened it to get to pluming pipes, in hope to stream line it.
Many redundant pipes used and drainage too.

Now to find someone to fix it.

I'm tearing a wall out tomorrow.....

So I can get to some old pipes and plumb things right. And move a couple outlets while I am at it.

My bathroom sink always freeze up when it got very cold, and windy.

I decided to replace the aging faucet, and in the process the drain also.

Since I had everything apart and open, I took out the floor boards giving me my first site of my pipes.
TADA! They where bare, on the concrete floor, right along the outside wall (and to my knowledge with no insulation)

So I found a board, lifted them off the floor, and also used spry foam insulation along the wall and other open spots hopefully sealing any drafts.

I am hopeful this will end my freezing pipes!

It already feels warmer under the sink..... ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Ready-for-Fall-23287446 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:41:16 EDT Re: Ready for Fall?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Ready-for-Fall-23285684 --

But:

For spring I have planted 6 new shrubs, 2 dozen daffodils, and 2 dozen tulips. ( I never did this before so we'll see how this works)

And sadly, moved and covered all my outside furniture and covered the AC unit. I've taken down my planters, and stashed all my lawn care stuff once and for all.

My outside jobs are finished for the winter. Now on to my 36 item list of things to do INSIDE over the winter. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Ready-for-Fall-23276041 Sun, 01 Nov 2009 20:40:01 EDT Re: Ready for Fall?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Ready-for-Fall-23236409

Being late October, I tossed them a couple Reese's' PB cups and told them they had great costumes. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Ready-for-Fall-23229695 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 11:04:07 EDT Re: Ready for Fall?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Ready-for-Fall-23174868

I hope to get the chance to to get to Reid, just a bit north of there... :)

It is a good time of year for the campgrounds, as most of them close for the season the morning of Oct. 15th- the kids are all back in school and the snowbirds have pretty well flown, and it is quiet.

The beaches are likewise sparsely attended and very enjoyable. We saw loads of seals off Wells beach a couple of weeks ago. They seemed to be perfectly content to have most of the beach to themselves.

I will not miss the "tent" deal... I freely admit that I am getting old, and intolerant of waking up in a cold pick-up truck with a colder tent off the back. I like the under-floor heat and the onboard kitchen... ;)

I also called the stove guy to make an appointment to clean the big pellet stove and the chimneys- I figure that the heating season is upon us. (The three tons of pellets are also upon us, rendering the garage pretty useless for the foreseeable future.)
