Over the last 10 weeks, we’ve been in the grips of a global pandemic.
As many of us found ourselves laboring from cabin for the first time ever, all of us also discovered more free time than ever before.
I suppose I’m not the only a single who pursued current interests & skills in the time since. Ever since I was a child I had wanted to learn painting. Although I’m still an amateur, at least I can paint a convincing landscape with watercolors, a crucial step in our opinion. While I attempt to slowly improve at painting, I’m also learning more aspects of cabin service. I figured how to make small improvements to our roof after I build bookshelves for our spare entryway. But I ran into some troubles this week while replacing the old showerhead in our master bathroom. As I removed the old head from the metal pipe linked to the wall, the threading on the pipe started to crumble from years of corrosion. I was telling our HVAC worker about it sureterday while he was refilling our air conditioning coolant. He told me that he used to work in ventilation upgrade where he was a air duct welder. He gave to help weld a current showerhead linkion to the water pipe behind the wall. Best of all, he gave to do it at a much lower price than what our plumber wants to charge me. I’m lucky that I have a heating & cooling repairman that I can trust, & even more lucky that he knows how to weld & still has his equipment in his workshop at home. The people I was with and I scheduled a time for him to repair the pipe after work later in the week.
