It is coming along. Never as fast as I would like though. BIG pressure washer and went and got the $60 rotator nozzle,,,, then at Lowes on the way home saw they had them for $30.... That was my day, they also had a basement dehumidifier (that they did not have last I looked) for only $220 and I just ordered one for $350... grrrrrr
And I dropped my camera off the seat of the truck onto the road this morning popping the case apart, now it is not working..... Wife took some pics with her camera but will require manipulation to make them fit.
Hanna unlocked the front door, and the door knob assembly disintegrated.
My pressure washer would not operate....
The Hose bibs on the clothes washer are siezed....
It poured rain all day.
The windows need to be custom ordered for the basement...
But I did get a bunch of cleaning done, and we are moving forward.. Just a bit worn down today.
As Harv would say, Life is good.
Wow! Sounds like a rough start. Any sign of water entry during the rain?

Played plumber all morning, as I am doing basement, the DW is doing the bathroom. Bought a cheapie mini pipe cutter because I forgot and left my Rigid at the house............ Dohhhh, should not have wasted the $1.75, finally just ended up with the Sawzall and a metal blade. Cut off all the water feeds to stuff she wanted to pull out. (no valves anywhere) and then soldered on caps so I could get the water on again.
Basement is almost clean, hit the nasty spots with a couple coats of bleach, the shock was clogging my sprayer, should have mixed it up a day or two ahead. Also did the hydrogen Peroxide, so they have been hit with Quat two or three times, bleach and hydrogen peroxide. At this point, it is just clinging to the block.
The whole place has been 3500 psi washed with a rotator nozzle the bad areas a couple times.
Will try and grab a picture in the morning.
Cut out the washer hookups. Disconnected the gas supply line for the dryer, and plugged it off. Removed the sillcock from the back wall.
Removed the cast iron tub for the wife...
Neighbor across the street came over and we talked for a while. This should work out well, he is a full time farmer.
Hope I don't catch myself a chemical cold, probably more than the TLV today on the calcium hypochlorite.
Will grind and wire wheel any remaining trouble spots.
Tomorrows project's will be new wood on the floor of the bathroom, and get pieces set for the electrical panel change over on Sunday. I will run the heat some in the basement to get it dry.
Away we go.
