S@squ@tch status

[s@squ@tch]

Players and DM's -- I have not disappeared for good. I have been SWAMPED with getting this foreclosed home that I bought up to livable status -- lots of plumbing, electrical, and other work that has consumed all of my free time, and then some.

Things are slowing down somewhat, as I've redone 1/2 of the bathrooms so far, so I hope to get back to PbP in the next week or so.

I haven't checked any threads yet, but hope to in the next week.

Thanks and I hope that my players are still around and that my DM's haven't killed me off yet.

If you'd like you can come to my house to renovate our bathrooms... they could use it too

wow, move from the west coast to do work in cananada on the east coast...long way to travel!

R, Kids got you busy, huh?

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Thanks for the note S@S.

I moved from Portland, OR, to Carmel, IN, so perhaps I am closer to my next job in Canada for renau1q!

I am now fairly skilled with a propane torch -- maybe one of my PC's can find one in an adventure.... with some flux and copper tubing, then I can redo a dungeon's bathroom.

Good to hear from you S@s. And I absolutely understand how it feels when life gets all crazy. Just keep plodding on, and you'll get through the rough stuff!

 

[Scott DeWar]

Have you atried pex plumbing? it is a lot easier then copper tubing and can take a coupel of freezes befor popping. repairs are pretty easy too.

s@s, as someone who has made the move to Indiana from the Pacific Northwest (and subsequently back), I sympathize.

Haha I just spent the whole day in portland, OR and man is it boring I know why you left. Looking forward to crushing your giants in short order when you get back to posting

@Scott - in one of the bathrooms, after my initial copper sweating attempts leaked like a sieve, (due to the use of a water soluble flux, which sucks @ss.) I used some pex tubing with sharkbite connectors -- worked great, but I was a little worried that they might leak later, so I put in an access panel, so I can check on them in time. The second shower valve I was able to get some good paste flux and the sweating went great -- if I was going to build a new house or addition, I'd use PEX tubing instead.

I think I gained a level in expert through this house project, I think I rolled poorly for HP, but the added skill points in profession(plumber), profession(carpenter), and profession(landscaping) have been welcomed.
