And under my bed lies a very big adjustable wrench, clearly wider than an inch, because such wrenches are somewhat rare in Russia, usually smaller ones are mass-produced, because in apartments the diameter of the pipes that plumbers work with is smaller. I hide this wrench under the bed so that no one takes it from me, otherwise my father will suddenly give it to some random workers or neighbors and they will lose it.

So the monster under my bed most likely works as a plumber

Spring is postponed, so the work of cleaning manure from the livestock buildings is also postponed. Everything is covered with snow, and it is snowing actively, and tomorrow I will clean the driveway with a shovel again.

For now, I have absolutely nothing to do, so I am doing the work that I am too lazy to do in the summer. I decided to fix an old tank for collecting rainwater, from which I usually throw a cheap drainage pump with a hose into it and water the garden.
The tank had a drain hole, a tap with a rotary plug, over the years of use (the tank is more than 15 years old) it broke. I could not think of anything better than to hammer a piece of oak into the pipe. It then swelled and it was impossible to remove it without breaking anything there, so in the fall before the frosts I had to drill a hole in it to drain the water.

In general, I had to come up with some new drain. I drilled a wider hole and screwed a transition to polypropylene onto the "nut", took some old polypropylene pipe and a tap, and soldered it there. Now the tank has a drain like this.

Pasha,, I am just like you in many ways. I always try to repair/fix things. Many around me just throw things away

You are very resourceful, Pasha. You have a good eye for what can be done.
