About all I can say about that is... whoops!  I put everything together this morning - well all the way up to the water heater anyway - so I could have it dry and cured enough to put it under pressure later on.  Including installing 2 valves for water shut off purposes for future reference.  

So, we went to a museum today - it was a kid's museum full of fun things for the kids but  Taylor and I were having fun as well.  A pretend kitchen, kids were handing us make believe coffee, fried dishes and other things that we pretended to enjoy.  We built a sort of log cabin thing out of giant Lincoln style logs.  

After that, we had a bite to eat at a local restaurant, which was quite good and then we went home after stopping by the property. Taylor hadn't seen it since shortly after the trees had been cut down - a long time ago.  We drove around it and she was like, well let's have weiners and smore's tonight!  I have that big fire pit that basically, I am the only one that uses it.  Lol, it wasn't intended that way, but that's how it has worked out.  

Well, I went back to the property with one of the boys - who really wanted to go, the other one did not - to turn the water on to see what would happen and to take Addler for a walk in the woods.   That's the whoops moment.  You see, when I was bringing the pipe from outside to the inside of the shed? I forgot to glue one of the fittings together.  When I turned the water on, there was a literal geyser going on inside of the shed - there is very good water pressure at the park and it comes pouring out. 

Well, I turned the water back off and just figured I'd come back tonight for the hot dogs and fix it after everything drained out of it.  Which is exactly what I did, but I didn't turn the water back on. Not with that much pressure, I wanted to let it dry/cure enough that it's not going to blow up again.  Over to the fire pit and James already had a fire going - we used my last fire log.  We had fun roasting hot dogs and making s'mores, tho I didn't eat any s'mores, my diet said no.

I also checked the dumpster - almost completely full. A couple more bags of trash would fit into it, yes, but it was amazing to see how much trash was in that thing.  I don't really think anyone is dumping into it that doesn't stay there, I just think with 14 lots and mostly full, that's going to happen.  The dumpster is being emptied tomorrow. Hopefully people will get rid of more trash tonight to keep the next one from getting filled up too quickly. 

I have the boys tomorrow morning, but after Taylor comes and gets them I will be back over there.  I will charge the system back up and make sure there are no leaks up to that point.  The pipe came off immediately, there is no way the entire system charged up with water. But, earlier today, I was trying to think what I was missing.  Then it dawned on me. They don't put solid lines on water heaters, they have somewhat flexible tubing coming off of it. 

Of course! I want flexibility because  neither the amenity shed nor the small shed the water heater is in are tied down to the ground.  Yup, back to Lowe's tomorrow morning to get those hoses and also to attempt to find the fittings to convert the pipe to CPVC.  If I can't figure out what to use to convert it, hopefully that plumber who works there will be there to help me out.  If I can get the figured out and if there are no leaks, I can pretty much get the water lines completed tomorrow. I only have to run the hot water line back to the laundry box.  That will take some hole drilling and pipe cutting and installing some fittings, but a couple of hours should be enough. 

Once I am sure that is good to go, I will start on the electrical.  It will invariably mean another trip to Lowe's but I intend on getting as much done first as I can so I know exactly what I will need and at least try to make a one-trip excursion to Lowe's, instead of multiple trips.  

I - think - I have all the wiring I need for the dryer, washer, AC unit, wall switch, light fixture and another general outlet.  I definitely have enough boxes and I think I have enough plugs.  I have all the circuit breakers I need for that portion of the project, I will probably need a few more for HipCamp. HipCamp is not a priority at the moment, the shed needs done first.

Shower stall. A person had just posted it on Marketplace while I was writing this entry.  Something told me to look at FB Marketplace, don't ask my why, I think God is involved with a lot of things in our lives and He blesses us in ways we don't even recognize.  And there it was.  It's a molded shower stall, the base and the walls all one piece.  It doesn't have a door on it, but they only want $225 for it - that stall sells new $700 and up all day long.  They claim it is in near perfect condition with no scratches or cuts in it.  It has the water valves and the shower tubing on it as well.  I don't necessarily have to have a door, I can put a shower curtain on it, just have to see if i can find a door cheap as well.  It's a done deal as far as I'm concerned, the man is remodeling a cabin and is upgrading it to a more luxury style setup.  I don't care about that right now, usability is all I need.  

This guy is now telling me he has a "I have another cool corner shower stall with round door".

This is actually what I wanted to begin with.  He said I could see it tomorrow, didn't give a price.  If it's the complete setup with the base, walls and glass, it's a grand. That's pretty much where the complete setup starts and goes up from there. If it has the fixtures, it would be worth even more.  I'm not telling him that, of course, he can set whatever price he wants and then we go from there.  The corner thing would be easier to install for the base doesn't need concrete put down first.  I never knew these stalls - certain styles I guess - have to have a concrete or similar layer installed on the floor first.  

Do I need this shower stall right now? No, of course not. I've been looking for quite a while now, however, and I can tell ya, that stuff isn't cheap and anything decent at a good price sells almost instantly. Unless this thing is messed up - which the pictures don't show any problems with it - I consider this just short of a miracle.  Not just for the price, but the fact that I had this feeling to look at marketplace and it was the first thing I saw on there. I'm serious, it was literally the first thing that showed up.  I'll watch videos how to install it replete with the concrete if necessary.  I don't really care, the price is the selling point. The labor is - it is what it is.  

"Apparently this is a great price- in 30 mins I have people begging me"

Lol. Yup, I can imagine!

Well, long day and time to start thinking about bed. Tomorrow is going to be chock full o' stuff to do as well.
