Our House Doesn't Want Me To Get a New Gun, Update Post 97

If you have to go back to the store to complete the purchase, it wouldn't be bad insurance to get a pack of plastic toilet shims, in case the installer needs them and doesn't have them (Murphy).
Can always return them later.

Tom S. ?

"...Then you pack the new one with okra and melt in a new lead seal. ..."

I am sure you meant oakum, but in todays environment, maybe this is a possibilty?

 

[bigwheelzip]

Anything's better than eating Okra.

Ha ha - I swear auto correct will some day get me killed.

Besides, I said I hated plumbing. I don't like okra either.

 

[walkinghorse]

Fried okra is great, but frying can make anything better, especially waistlines, and arteries!
Boiled okra not so much , except in some gumbo recipes!

Autocorrect is a tool of the devil !

 

[bigwheelzip]

Fried okra is great....

I've been hearing that since my first move to the south 40 years ago, and I'll always try it with an open mind when it's in front of me, but there has yet to be a "great" or even good piece of Okra on my fork.

Oh no, I feel a drift starting........ Anyone like cookies.

As long as they ain't okra cookies, count me in.

Apologies to Snubiefan.

No cookies for me, not on my diet.
Diet cookies? I'd rather go without.

Hey Snub--just tear down that toilettie--build a double-seat outhouse. I think those are little or no maintenance?

ORrrrrrrrrrr, a 3 seater if you really want to make her happy?

How about a four seater for playing poker?

Ewwue the smell can't you smell that smell?

 

[BigBill]

I know the feeling I saved up $2k for my last S&W. (maybe) the oil man showed up, the firewood came, birthdays, car repair, now a new bedroom set. I'm in the red. My new S&W nickel n frame just grew wings.

No cookies for me I'm under 300# for the first time since I was born. Just 250# by springtime is my next goal. Then 200# by next fall.

 

[BigBill]

Outhouses, privy, outdoor plumbing at my camp I use plenty of lime. Make the guys pee outside behind it. If it's gets wet the smell activates. I put a fresh coat of paint every spring. My neighbors are proud to use my privy cause it's kept clean. For the ladies of course.

 

[snubbyfan]

By the way, good job Bill.
Keep it up and we'll havta call ya "Not So Big Bill Anymore."

 

[Tinhack]

I can deal with outhouses. My grandparent's OH was on the other side of a stock pen on their farm. You got your business done during the day or had to travers a totally dark pen with snorting animals or walk around the fence for about 300'. I felt safer inside the fence. At five or six years old, that was a grit builder. Probably why I was never afraid of the dark.

It's all those daddy long legs that creep me out.

Moved from Connecticut to Mississippi at the age of 9. School cafeteria served okra in some sort of slimy juice. Didn't like it then, and 74 years later I haven't changed my opinion.

I have a friend that is a big time prepper. He and his Mrs. are certain that the SWHTF sooner or later and we will be back in the stone age. They asked me if I could build them an outhouse on skids so they could move it when necessary. Rather than one huge hole, I guess they felt it was better to dig smaller holes and then just move the privy. I really didn't want to waste their money as they have three toilets in the house and even without power to run the well pump, there's always rain water and a five gallon bucket.

Knowing that they would merely hire someone else and since I had only built one other with my dad up in Maine, I said that I would.

It comes with his and hers paper holders as one likes the paper over the top and the other likes it underneath. Also a magazine rack for appropriate reading material. The bench seat is hinged so it can be lifted for easy cleaning if necessary.

Now that's an outhouse I'd be proud to poop in.

Who's the skinny guy in the window?

We're gonna try a new starter first. Might pick up a new bulb while we're at it.
If that don't do it, it'll be time for a new fixture.

New tubes and/or a starter will take care of 95% of the problems with fluorescent fixtures. Good thing is...they're not super expensive.

Too bad, I have this nice new in box Model 27 3.5" snubby that I was going to sell you for next to nothing. But since you have all that important home stuff I guess I will have to keep the darn thing.

Dibbs!!!!!
