Day 97

I actually got something accomplished today. I took the ladder and implements of destruction out to the entrance and trimmed all of the trees that might impede the trailer. I had a choice of burning the branches or putting them in the garbage can. Since the garbage was closer than the burn barrel, i put them in the garbage.

The contractor started work today. He and his son took down all of the tile, removed the bathtub, and took out the old plumbing. The dumbshits that built the place had done something really screwy with the shower plumbing. When they removed the wall they found all of these stubbed off pipes. One of the supply pipes was copper, and the other is PEX.

As near as we can figure, the hard water must have clogged up the original pipes (they're only 1/2 inch) and the had to replumb it. That makes sense, since there's a big portion of the wall next to the hot water heater that has been cut out and then replaced. I know that because the dumbshits did such a poor job of repairing the wall when they replaced it.

We're going way north tomorrow to look for tile.
