Two leaks ruined my hardwood
living room floor. That's been pulled up, and is in the back of the van to go to the dump.
The old AC unit that leaked all over my living room floor is pulled out. It's on my lawn. The furnace is still good, and I'll probably
Craig's list that old thing.
My living room floor has a 6 foot trench that I jackhammered into it, to replace the rusted drain pipe from the washing machine to the main house sewer line. That was the second leak: a slab leak. Of
course I managed to hit the supply lines
whilst hammering out the concrete and digging out the drain pipe. The plumber only charged me $251, which I actually was
grateful for.
I'm currently in the processes of removing the floor from the utility closet that the updraft AC/Furnace was in; it's been waterlogged. I've pulled the gas hot water heater, and the furnace and AC and
jerry-rigged plenum adaptor, this evening. This would have been a LOT easier if the
SawzAll hadn't died on me today. I didn't know that they did that. I've never seen one do that. Poor old
SawzAll. It served me well. This is the first time it's given me reason to cuss it.
I'm painting the new floor (made of doubled 3/4"
CDX) with exterior "oops paint" that I bought at Home Depot for $5. It's brick red. Whatever.
The new A/C, new furnace, new exterior unit, and new copper lines are all at the house, ready to install today. My partner's dad is generously helping me for free.
Gotta get back to it.
