Today's project: Down in a hole.
The main hydrant in the barn has been leaking for quite a while, and then this morning my brother got the bright idea to start replacing it. so I wake up to find that he's out there busting up the concrete so that we could dig on down down to the water line to swap it out. Finally got down to the water line to and then we had to go run to borrow the neighbors pipe wrenches. And I was the one down in the whole with the wrenches. Got the main pipe to come loose, but wasn't having a whole lotta luck with the brass fitting where it meets the water line. What does the bum do? Leaves to go watch a movie with his buddies and to leave me and the neighbor to finish it off.
Anyways, finally got the old brass fitting off and swapped in the new hydrant in. Just need to get a new drain to put in to replace the one my brother cracked while breaking up the concrete and borrow a few things so that we can pour the new concrete for that spot. Going to let him worry about that part. We could have been doing drywall today to replace the drywall in the garage we had to rip out to get a wasp nest out on Saturday. But somebody got up and thought he could get that done easily before he went off to the movies.
