That closet is bigger than my office. Office is 6X10. And every piece of clothing I own is in here too. In a bag. On the floor.
Morning all.
Started at 0400 again this morning. Filled the OWB, plowed the yard. Refilled the OWB and just got back in. This weather is getting real old, real fast. Not supposed to get above 5 today. Loader doesn't really care for the below 0 temps, but it hasn't gelled up yet. Strange to see the hydraulics operate like they're cold even after 3 hours of constant operation.
Gonna take a quick nap, then go fill a friends boiler as his doesn't make it all day either in this weather, plow his yard, then start plowing mine again. I feel like I'm working for the Road Commission.

You have far more patience than I do, I would have been in the office of whomever was in charge already...even if I had to drive all the way to Louisiana... My hats off to you for remaining so calm.

At least where we live it is always snow free for June, July and August.
Hope everybody is having a good day despite the weather and what may be floating in your basement.
I haven't taken that tour. The bits I have seen on TV shows make it look sort of interesting.
My wife would love a closet that big.
Place I used to rent out in Chugiak kept having septic tank problems and backing up in the bathroom.
Turns out the idiots who were renting were flushing disposable diapers down the toilet.
That is still crazy. Wonder if they drag their heels like that all the time.
Found this out by accident years ago.
If I really want to bug my wife I can drop two clean unmatched socks on the floor close together.
She will assume I am either wearing the other two unmatched socks or am planning on wearing them in the future.
She has problems.

Mismatched socks??????? You are bad. No wonder your wife is a basket case trying to live with you.....................
Wife is in the lanai getting a tan listening to a book on her Kindle. Life is tuff.

New tougher pipe in and no more problems
I had a buddy that used to conveniently show up every night right around supper time...after about 10 days of feeding his sorry butt I placed a couple of my clean socks on the upper rack of the dishwasher and waited for him to show up again...when he did I asked him to set the table....when he saw my socks in the dishwasher, he quit dropping in for supper

I had the septic system here start backing up into the tub in the basement a couple years ago. I called in a backhoe and we dug up the lines from the house to the tank, the idiot that built this house used thin wall pipe back in 1976 and in this clay soil it finally squished it flat as the ground settled.

Learned that the line to the septic tank isnt supposed to pitch more than 1/4inch over every 4 foot of run..less pitch and it wont drain, more pitch and the water can outrun the solids and leave them sit in the pipe, as well as suck out the water from the traps in the house letting gas back in...the way our tank is set, the pitch is almost 1.25 inches per 4 ft run...I would have the tank raised, but it would have to be levitated about a foot above grade to be run properly...so I fill/drain the bathtub every few weeks to rinse the pipes and refill the trap afterward..
LOVE the sock idea.... gotta try that on THE BOSS.. shes a touch OCD and that will drive her nuts!
