What did you accomplish today?

Found the P trap under the sink was leaking, knew I smelled something wet under there. You think I could just get a generic replacement? No. :cuss: Got a replacement ABS elbow, had to glue in a threaded piece to match the pipe to the sink, put it in and the threads are a different size now than in 87. I need to cut the original off the wall stub, put in a slip collar and a piece of pipe to match the new elbow and make sure it lines up with the sink.
I can't find the old one anymore, I tossed it across the room when I found out nothing matches, I think I sent it into another dimension. I've looked everywhere. :shock:
Those slip connections suck.....this house had it under the kitchen sink. If you emptied a full sink of hot water it would let that slip off and it was a sink full of water under the cabinet :cuss:

I have to ask this, why didn't you paint them before you got the tires mounted?
It would take at least three more days and I was worried about them nicking the fresh paint. It really needs to sit a good week to cure. The cards worked really easy and good.

Used two cans of this. It comes out in a heavy fan spray. Just a second or two per wheel at a time.

Oh my gosh, White, just noticed you were back posting and read the backstory on your wife. So glad she's doing better and welcome back. Much love to you and her.
Good to be back. Thank you. I've had a little more time. I've had to stay home and help her. Things are calming down a little for me so I should have some more free time this fall and winter.

That was a slick trick with the cards!! My truck rims need paint!! I'll remember!!
