So this weekend Big Poppa Paul was here again to lend a hand. We made our rounds Friday night and Saturday morning at the local Home Depot and Poppa got to squeeze in a trip to Tim Hortons so the weekend was looking as though it would be a productive one. Why two trip to the Home Depot? Sometimes you have to listen to those around you and get the correct tools.....Engineering a solution only gets you so far. My dad believed I should have purchased the Sawzall, but I held out, we compromised and just blew through tons of blades instead.
We had quite a long day of work on Saturday and ended up ahead of the game at the end of the day.....speaking of games, we also had a productive day of football viewing with the current subterranian set up by the "Saw Station". We refer to this station as "Saw 5 Action Set". Don't think I am sacrificing my college football saturdays or NFL sundays by doing this project! We cut a hole in the wall to add a bannister at a later date and framed the rest of the closet under the stairs and most of the hall way leading from the stairs to the open Tv room. We left the bathroom to begin on Sunday.
Well, the next morning we had a morning like all other Sunday mornings, until I went to the basement to get set up for a long morning of work and began to scream like a little girl!!!!!
The sillcock (yes, that is the correct term for it and yes, I do enjoy saying it!) exploded in the storage area of our basement an made somewhat of a Niagra Falls/Huron River through half the basement. I guess there would be no framing to do today.......I had the next 7 hours ahead of me, filled with the wife yelling, Shop-Vacing, and now can look forward to yet another plumbing project! What a mess but I guess we were lucky it did not happen when we were gone because then our house would have had a nice indoor pool downstairs!
