Reset Forty-Nine, Day Four Hundred-Two
Jul. 2nd, 2024 02:03 amThe plumbing job has been delayed again. The new pipes are being run though the "attic" of this flat-roofed building, and in the apartment before mine the rafters run crossways, which means they each have to be drilled through. That meant they were unable to finish the project Monday, and if they cant finish today they have no openings in their schedule until after the holiday, so if I don't get my hot water back today I won't get it until Friday at the earliest. Bites to be me.
One good thing though is that my apartment has ducting for the HVAC that runs the right direction for the new pipes, so once they get started in here it shouldn't take more than a couple of hours for everything to be installed. But they can't turn the hot water back on until all the apartments are fully re-piped, and I don't know about the place next door. The plumbers were over there a lot Monday so it might be already done, and if my apartment is the last to be done then I could have things back to normal tonight. With luck.
The weather ap on my phone is saying it's still 84 degrees outside right now. It won't get low enough to open the windows and turn on the fan until around four o'clock. I was hoping to be asleep by then, but I can't open windows in my sleep. Each upcoming day will be worse for at least a week. Also my neck is killing me, but only figuratively so far, and so is useless for getting me out of my misery. The heatwave from Hell is here.
Leftovers warmed on the stovetop for dinner Monday, so at least one thing was easy. I should have a drink to celebrate. Maybe I'd pass out.
