off day!

so it was a good off day except that several of the things that i wanted to do...go to a friends going away party, stop by to meet some other folks for a drink...not sit in a bunch of traffic...didn't really happen...but the good news is i now know how to work with pvc piping, turn the water on and off to the house...and play with purple primer and some really strong smelling glue that i hope holds...i think it will...

so a pipe that goes to the never used misters on out front porch broke...not like the last time where it could actually be fixed...but it came out of it's fitting so it wouldn't go back together...after turning off the water to the house...and using all my strength to get some pipes apart (i have no idea how they got them so tight)...i was able to figure out the part i needed...cancel the call in to the plumber...go to home depot...and cap off the irrigation system to the front porch...yeah!...it all took way too long...but hey...i probably saved a ton by not having the plumber come out... :)
