day off

We decided to make this an indoor day. I spent a lot of time on the computer getting organized and updating files. Next I replaced the toilet seat in the bathroom after cleaning the toilet bowl. This went well but I don't like the cheap plastic toilet seat. It works well, however. Next I had to deal with the sink water filtering. The new cartridges didn't fix the GE filter, water still won't flow. It's a known design flaw in the system. I bought a generic carbon filter but it requires 3/8 tubing and the existing GE uses 1/4 inch tubing. I would need a new tee on the supply line and also a new faucet. I went to Lowes to study what my options would cost. I found a new faucet for $53 and a tee valve for $16. There are three different size valves, I would need to buy 2 of them and return one to get the right size. As my last option I found a chrome screw in plug for the hole in the sink. I chose to go with this for $3.99. When I got back I removed the rest of the filter and restored the cold water to original. I still haven't put the plug into the sink hole but that's enough for one day. We went to dinner around 7. We sat with another couple from Arbor Green apartments. They don't have to be golf members in that community which is great. they only paid $155k for 1400 sq feet but there still is no garage. I would like more room and a garage without the golf fee. I had the clam chowder which was full of clams and yummy accompanied by two blackened shrimp tacos. Loved the spice on the shrimp and there were plenty of shrimp. Very nice evening. |
