Rotten weather presents more fish room putz'n 

..whatcha all got going on 

[wsantia1]

I'm going to walk Kobe around the part and run some errands before the oncoming storm hits around noon. It is a clipper system so it will be in and out of here quickly or so I hope.

Putzing in the fishroom and with my main computer later today.

I have my eye on a used or refurbished board but first I want to check the power supply because the board is lighting up but I my PSU may not be pushing out enough juice to power my peripheral devices.

Gosh you guys are smart.  I can't even figure out my remote speaker.  Sometimes I can make it work, but if I unplug it to move it, it won't connect.  I fixed it but now it's doing it again and I don't remember how to fix it any more.

I didn't do much of all today but normal everyday stuff.  The puppies are peeing and pooping outside during the night now.  It's a relief not to wash pee pads and beg for newspaper.  I'm gonna get in bed now with a bunch of dogs and a good book.

...here's a recap of yesterday since I missed this edition...

...got up...had my cereal...started into my room to work on a list of stuff, when Lucy called out, "The kitchen faucet won't work!" ...

...need I say more?...

...okay, I will...

...Lucy left to go play bunco...then go to Hobby Lobby with Barbara...

...I began to disassemble the faucet....

...took quite awhile to figure out how to remove the ceramic cartridge from the single lever faucet...many searches on Youtube, etc...

...finally got it out...had 150108 number inkjetted onto it...more time searching for the part online...a LOT of time...assuming it was a Moen faucet (don't know why i made that assumption)...

...thought I had it...supposedly at my Home Depot...so "quick" trip there...

...searched the whole rack for it...not there...

...got a clerk to help search...not there...

...clerk suggested I go to local Ace Hardware...so I did...

...went straightaway to clerk for help finding it...3 clerks later...not there...

...the older clerk said only place to get it would probably be the nearby plumbing supply warehouse...not open on Saturday...

...new plan...go Monday, get the part and complete repair Monday...

...Meanwhile...I'm near local Harbor Freight...decided to check it out...okay store...

...finished there after picking up some pegboard hookie-do hanger thingies...

...returned home...

...started looking to see if I could understand why this mechanism wasn't working properly....then realized there was nothing showing that it was a Moen part...

...started looking online again for pictures of ceramic cartridges...still cannot match number...but have learned it's not a Moen faucet...

...finally found something with engineered drawings to scale and determined that it would work...ordered from Amazon to arrive today...

...went back to kitchen... put everything back under the sink...

...Lucy came home...we went to friends' to eat...

...except for last line...really non-productive day...

...I'd have installed a new faucet after all that hard to find parts search.......it's not going to be easier next time I'd figure....

..are you finding that the previous folks didn't do much house maintenance ?

...the previous owner actually sold it to the park owners...I don't remember how long they had it on the market... but the park owners did some work on it before we bought it...also some that we asked for in the contract...It's in okay shape really...just some frustrating things...

...one thing is, they didn't fix a leak in the bathroom water supply line and it leaked out onto the bathroom laminate flooring...they sent their guys to come and fix it, but haven't done anything about replacing the swollen floor slats that rake my feet when I go in there...also getting a mildew odor now...manager had said don't do anything until I get back to you and let you know what we can do...

...we used a home inspector we knew nothing about...we know plenty in Seattle....and he missed some stuff we're finding now...dishwasher won't drain properly at the end of the cycle...water not flowing properly into ice maker and water spout in the fridge...

...we put in our things we wanted to get us a first year home warranty...which we would use to fix all this sh-t, er..stuff...but they "forgot" to do that... so the agent told me to go ahead and get the d/w repaired and send her the bill and she would also buy the warranty for us (she is an employee of the park management)

...all the places we bought in the past, except for one new construction home, we planned the remodel ahead of time...we went in knowing what was to be done...and this time I told Lucy I want to buy it ready to live in, and that was our goal...wellllll...

... I'm too old for this...

.....Hopefully it'll all come together quickly so you can get back to working on your tanks
