Moen valve control bodyspray shower head

The master bathroom fixtures: Moen mixer and three way diverter valve, Moen shower head, Kohler body sprays. The valves are pull-on push-off so you don't have to fiddle with the temperature. I went with flush mount body sprays.

Pops taught me how to sweat pipe this weekend. Left to right: flux, solder, pipe abrasives, sparker, tape, propane.

Clean the pipes with a wire brush.
Goop some flux on.
Connect.
Heat them with the propane torch.
Add solder when the pipe is hot enough to melt it, the flux will magically suck it inside the joint.

The piping is installed, supported, and pressure tested.

The potted items on the deck now have drippers controlled by a single valve.

I still need to buy a lawnmower, but the grass and vines are growing plenty.

Sweet coincidence of Port au Prince!

You put your potted plants on drip???? Are you really that lazy? How hard is it to carry a glass of water out to the deck and water them once a week? It's a rather therapeutic experience

You should see the mechanism I've developed that allows me to watch tv without actually having to move to the media room!

Apparently there is _nobody_ selling a 40cm blade for the G40LM40 / 25157 40V lawnmower by #Greenworks outside of the UK - or claims a shipping time of seven months! Is this the result of Brexit? Well fck this. I ordered a 41cm blade for the G40LM41 / G24X2LM41 model on a hunch. This one [...]
