OK, I know I suffered a head injury when I was little, but this plumbing issue was starting to feel like an aneurism. Luckily, Juan Valdez aka: DB Cooper aka: Ian Austin showed up from Maine. Ian and I have known each other since kindergarten, and have kept in touch since we graduated (You figure out the DB Cooper reference) One late night, my brother (Pit Boss/Brew Hoss) Ian and I dug the trench for the drains.....Back-breaking, knuckle-dragging, slow, miserable work by anyone's standards...
Of the five plumbers who (reluctantly) showed up, three of them told me how to do the job to meet code (None of them actually had time to do the job, and several of them refused to call back AFTER they said they'd bid it and never showed up....I'll let you know who THEY were later) So Ian and I, after great discussion and much consternation, decided to do it as suggested. BIG MISTAKE #1. Get someone who has the (DaVinci) code books After we got our battleship sunk in the first round of inspections, we called the City of Lacey, and got someone over to tell us what we did wrong. What we did wrong was pretty much everything. The fix? More Money, More time and More DIGGING (Below is the "Pit of Despair")
So Ian took over the helm of the bobsled, and has made sure that we're OK for the next round of inspections. So here's how the plumbing looks now! Amazing what you can do when you know what you NEED to do to get the job approved! And we are APPROVED (Finally)
Now the plumbing is almost done, so we started painting the walls. If you want something to do, we can put you to work painting something....Just call me!
Dad & I went to the NHRA Drags at Pacific Raceways on Friday. We had a blast, other than it was Soooooo hot....but we scored on some bling to put in the brewery, which includes the following: Hillary Will's Top Fuel piston and Tony Pedregon's Top Fuel tire! Who knew that Hillary is a brewpub fanatic?
And of course, we got to see John...
