Hey Chuck,
Well I am not a plumber but have learned a whole lot about plumbing, because I am poor and too cheap to pay someone to do work I can do myself. Just a suggestion, if you can afford it replace all the pipes with PE. It is cheaper then PVC, less likely to break if it gets frozen and super easy to connect pieces together. All you use is PE connectors and band clamps, no primer or glue and no wait time for drying. We replaced our water line from the well (old pipe was copper and kept busting everytime we welded a section another blew) with PE. A hundred foot roll of 3/4" was only $22.
My plan is to replace all the water plumbing if I do not get another house brought in soon. Man I wish you were closer so I could come help you.
Anyway, I do not know if this is any help and if you need any information let me know. Good luck!

that certainly gives new meaning to the concept of "harder to come by than hen's teeth."

I need to feed my Kombucha tea. I finally gave my milk Kefir grains to a friend, because I kept forgetting to feed them and wasn't particularly fond of the resulting milk anyway. Wish I had known you were looking for some. Mine originally came from an ebay store - about a year ago.

I see that we are less than 210 posts from rolling over another thousand posts. My guess is that it will happen sometime tomorrow.

Someone else will have to be chatty this evening. I am heading home to take care of critters and need to get feed before Cross Brand closes at 6.

Hello. P&B and Q,
How are you guys today?
Q, How close did the tornado get to you?
I can't remember now but are you gonna get to come to Blanchard this weekend? I am not sure yet but I am trying to get things out of the way so I can go. My DW, DD, DS all have to sign off on my itinerary before I can do anything on my own.

I have not made Kefir before this is my first.. but I have made Kombucha.... I lost my "mother" during the move into our house and had a hard time locating a starter and therefore have gone this whole past 1.5 years without but ever hoping to come across one locally... I finally broke down and bought a starter from culturesforhealth.com they have several starter kits ranging from Kefir, Kombucha to yogurt grains ect...

Not sure if we will make Blanchard this weekend... but if we do we will come ready with our Poop Shirts.. ha ha
