Yesterday morning I got the boys to school then headed for town stopping to get gas before my session. After I stopped at the store then went to Home Depot for rv antifreeze before heading to my dentist appointment.
After I went to my job for the day which was winterizing a vacant house. I turned the main water line off then drained out the water lines to a bucket which I emptied outside. I am glad I had my small bucket with as it fit through the hole in the wall access to the valve.
Water heater shut off.
Antifreeze poured into every drain in the house. The toilets, sinks, showers, and the laundry drain downstairs.
Being the house is for sale and the water shut off I covered each toilet with a garbage bag and taped the sides to the toilet bases.
Then taped each lid down and wrote DO NOT USE! on top. I set the heat in the house to a holding temp then made sure the house was in order before leaving. Client was very happy to have it done as he lives on the west side of the state.
As I was leaving the job I got the email that the pump I ordered for the water feature was in so I stopped back by Home Depot and picked it up before heading for home.
Got home in time to see the 2nd half of Utd's miraculous win over Roma. Down 2-1 Cunha managed 2 goals in 3 minutes after getting subbed on. They FINALLY won a match!
I went and hiked up the hill to check the fence line and ended up finding this fish head dropped by one of the many birds that end up perching in the pine trees.
Also found some great horned owl hork beneath one set of perching branches.
The exhaust on the truck had cooled enough then for me to move it to the carport for a bit and get the holes taped up. I found a couple more holes on the top area so covered them with the tape... THEN I slid towards the back and noticed the end plate of the muffler was halfway rotted away. I used a bunch more tape to try and patch it so at least now the truck doesn't sound like a open header. When I pulled it out of the carport it actually sounded a bit more like it should. I for sure will need a new muffler for the truck. It needs to be the proper one though that has the input in the middle and not on one side so it will fit properly.
Today I go back to work on the water feature, I have to stop for concrete bags first, then will get the falls rocks set in concrete and plumb in the pump. This afternoon I go up to Deer Park to do a haul off and remove leaves for another client. Then I will take J to the grange for D&D night before picking R up after STEM.
