Building Summary: Today I glued together most of the sewer line. I made the mistake of attaching the kitchen sink ‘sanitary tee’ backwards, so I cut it free with a special hacksaw* and reversed it to the correction position while also placing it at much better spot along the line (used a coupling to do this. I’ll be attaching the other coupling that Wag got from Sparr tomorrow, and then I’ll be able to post a picture of the completed work).
Commentary: Once again, I have a couple highlights for today. The first was mentioned above with the (*). The so-called hacksaw was an incarnation of steel so warped out of shape that it was a miracle I was able to make a straight cut to the sewer line. The second cut I had to make did not go so well, so I had to pull out the sawzall and neaten it up. Here’s a picture of the former tool, though, for amusement purposes.
Highlight #2 occurred after I’d finished working in Jacobhouse this morning. Me and Padre had just completed our morningly beef cow checkup when he (Padre) decided it would be a good time to show me a good crop of lambsquarter. It should be noted that lambsquarter is often thought of as a type of weed even though it most definitely isn’t. When the leaves are cooked, they emulate spinach in both texture and taste, and when served atop a burger along with gruyere cheese (a type of swiss) and horseradish root, it makes for a combination that is absolutely delicious. (Below, is an image of the lambsquarter ‘glen’ that Padre led me to.)
For tomorrow’s activities, I intend to combine the rest of the sewer line and then to start planning the next step.
