It's time to stop planning and get to work
I have bought most of the materials for my home the first problem I am going to tackle is the drain pipe under my kitchen sink. Like I said before I can't get under the house to fix the pipes so I am going to have to tear up a section of my kitchen floor. Once I have the floor opened up it should be no problem in repairing the pipes. Hopefully I will have this job finished this weekend. Next Saturday I plan on replacing the valve on the water main coming in to my house. This problem is more involved. The plumber wanted to run a new line from the main shut off valve by the street. I really can not afford a job like that. What I plan on doing is cutting the galvenized pipe behind the ninety degree elbow behind the shut off valve. Rethreading the pipe and replacing all the worn out valve and all the galvenized pipe to the water meter. So far I have spent senty dollars in parts and tools for the jobs at hand. That includes a pipe thread die set from Harbor Freight. I will keep you posted as to the progress of the jobs.
