Psychotomy

monday i got the master fixed up.  when the pipes were all connected and screwed down, the top doesn’t wobble anymore yay.

wednesday i worked on the hall.  with some pvc cement and some of the bits i’d bought over the 4 day saga, i managed to get the sink together.  noticed last night that there appears to be a leak somewhere, so i need to figure that out.  probably need to tighten a nut.  need to look into that this weekend, figure out which bit is leaking.  hopefully it’s one of the real bits that i can just tighten, not the cobble job i did to connect the drain to the trap bits.  didn’t REALLY fit (like a 1.25″ into a 1.5″ or something; i put a reducing washer in, and put on a screw-down connector, but the washer makes it a little high so the connector didn’t necessarily screw on right;  i think i have other sizes of the screwdown, including some with a deeper thread that might connect better)

this weekend i need to do the living room bath (“powder room”), where the bits only technically fit (as in, the distance between walls is EXACTLY the measurement that we got off the vanity top … could be tricky to get in, but we’ll see what happens)

also need to pack up the pewter/etc off the entertainment center, so they can take it wednesday.  need to get the other one cleared off and probably into the hall so they can get to it too.  salvation army’s picking up a bunch of the furniture crap we decided we don’t need/don’t want anymore.  they’re nice, but they don’t really fit, especially with a baby on the way.  so we’re taking the deduction for getting rid of it, since it’s in good condition still an’ all.

so, i have another weekend that will be busier than my weeks!  (and this is likely to go for another month or two, still, as the backroom has barely been touched; and the living room needs to be stripped so they can do the floors early january … then everything needs to be put back (and mounted to the walls with the “child safety tip-proofing” straps)

*sigh* haven’t played online much this week, been messing with the bathroom most nights :/
