Home ownership day 4. Woke up to no hot water. Here we go haha

The joys ;)

My husband spent Saturday renting the big floor machine, then sending the cutter head out the septic line to the tank. A TON of roots came out. He got it cleared, but it's time to replace the slip-joint cast iron pipe with glued PVC. Best part about this job is the pipe exits right behind the boiler and access is a bit tight.

I did the floor machine Friday from about 6pm to 2am. Then moved in Saturday starting at 8am. Drove 155 miles in a rental truck that day. Finally dropped off the truck at 9pm. Now at work and can barely move haha

Good god! How far is it from your house to the tank? We're about 26 feet, but there's a 90° about 20' out.

Not tank, pipe: "then sending the cutter head out the septic line to the tank"

Floor machine aka big-**** machine that sits on the floor and feeds 50' of line with a huge cutter head through pipe.

We were going to do that ourselves (my husband is an HVAC-R master and comes up with sneaky fixes on a lot of stuff), actually, but it seems the old cast iron pipe has collapsed from the roots in several places :(

Our house was built in 1932 and the pipe did last a good long time.

Replaced the passenger brake light. Stepdaughter has an appointment Thurs am for her driver's test and everything has to be in working order, so they checked all the lights this afternoon.

I have an appointment tomorrow am to get the windshield replaced. The crack finally spread into the driver's area, so it also is required for the test.

Got the windshield replaced. Local company, not Safelite. They did a great job and even transferred over my EZ-Pass for me.

PO, my best friend, had the last one done here at the local Safelite. Twice. First one cracked on the way home, second one cracked a year and a half (but only 5000 miles; sat in their garage for a year) later when /i touched the windshield next to the rearview mirror.

This one survived the very bumpy ride back to work, then back home, and was parked in the sun all day.

I had a Safelite one put in my Durango once, it was a few years old when I traded it in but it looked like the glass you see in an 1800s window- had a bit of wavyness to it. When my WK needed a new one I called around and looking for place that did Pilkington windshields and got one of those.

Now I use the RainX kit to fill in anything before it cracks. Fixed a nasty bulls eye in the LR3 and I forgot it was there until I posted this. Amazing.
