Where are we today ?
Today is Black Friday and almost everyone goes shopping for great deals. Not us, nothing we need and nothing we want to buy so really no need for us to venture out to the mad house out there.I do have project I would like to tackle today though. Replace the taps in our shower. Leaking into the shower a bit and needs to be done. Mind you it is 15 years old and these things need to be done either in our Rv or in a house.
Picked up new taps the other day only $15.00 and thought it could be a lengthy fix. So I set aside the whole day today for this project. Few years ago I worked in the same area replacing our water and sewer lines for the kitchen and had to remove our pantry. Now that was a big job. Had to remove our stove and oven as well to get at everything.

| all hooked up here no leaks, love it ! Done deal. |
So a few more walkabouts the park, read for a bit enjoying this 70 degree plus weather sure do love it.

| cool in the shade but still wonderful |
Even enjoy a late afternoon sunset just before supper, really can't complain.
That was another wonderful and productive day we had, sure do enjoy the hearty homemade soups too, almost need a fork to eat them.
Just moving along "one day at a time" living a wonderful lifestyle here trying to follow the sun. Not sure yet where we are going or what we are doing, but.... we will see.
Thanks agains for stopping for a peak, come by anytime.

Check out the interactive map below to see where we have been this Winter.
The shower taps look great. I bet you even did some rearranging in the pantry.
ReplyDeleteThanks, did actually pitch some old unused spiced etc...
DeleteSometimes you actually win one, bet you're glad to get that project off your list. :c)
ReplyDeleteThis one was so easy, the kinda of repairs we like to have.
DeleteGood job. It seems there always is something that needs to be fixed. I can almost smell that wonderful turkey soup.
ReplyDeleteAs with any house or vehicle needs repairs so no problem.
DeleteThe soup smelled wonderful, nice to have it simmer for the afternoon.
That one should go in the record books. I've (almost) learned to simply double the time I *think* something is going to take, and then if it doesn't, it's a nice surprise. 15 years is a pretty good lifetime for a set of taps.
ReplyDeleteI like to start early and allow issues and set backs. And this project was one I have put off for years. I thought 15 years was good for the taps too.
DeleteI'd rather do repairs to our RV than a house as well.
ReplyDeleteThose warmer temperatures look very inviting and we can't wait to share them.
I can practically taste that soup just looking at the pictures.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
I enjoy doing the repairs on our coach, no problem.
DeleteThe soup was one of the best I have ever made!
Oh my I LOVE turkey soup !!
ReplyDeleteYou could drop by if you were a bit closer, maybe another time.
DeleteGreat job and great looking soup...enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys, we did enjoy the soup and still some more.
DeleteBill replaced the very same faucets in our rig right before we left in October. Not sure the layout of ours but know he waited a few hours before putting stuff back in case there was a leak. He did good... and it sure looks like you did too!
ReplyDeleteI waited too, just to make sure.
DeleteNo leaks! I'm impressed - good job, George!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rick, usually don't have any problems with plumbing.
DeleteGood job on the shower - you may soon have turned it into a new coach. Speaking of Black Friday - I don't think there is a sale that could get me out among the hoards of shoppers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Larry, we make it new one pice at a time.
DeleteNot much for those crowds either, have gone out on a Black Friday either.
Well done work on the taps and the soup. Nothing to complain about, is there?
ReplyDeleteNo complaints other than we may not make it to the southwestern states this year. But such is life!
