Every weekend I’ve had a house project, though it’s all been about the same thing: fixing the plumbing. Cleaning the basement was about getting space for the plumber to work. Taking books to the used book store is about the same thing. Well, the plumber is finally finished and we’ve been waiting on the contractor who is buried in work. So, instead of waiting for him to tear out all the old galvanized pipe, I decided to do it myself. I covered myself in rusty water and bits of metal for most of the day, after going to the gym of course.

The biggest surprise of the day was how well my $20 reciprocating saw from Harbor Freight worked. I didn’t even have to borrow a real Sawzall. The metal cutting blade that came with it was kind of crap and flew off into never-never land but after I got some name brand blades at the hardware store it worked just fine. The In any case, I got a lot of pipe out of the basement and in the driveway.

That’s my day and I have more work to do tomorrow. I decided I deserved a bacon cheeseburger at Stepping Stone. It was surprisingly good, though the PBR could have been colder.

My evening was capped off by playing Aurora Feint on my iPhone. Hooray, what an exciting life.
