CannaGranny’s Corner a Thread For General BS and Good Will On BudBuilders

Yeah, screw that. It's only good to work on things you really want in sweltering heat. Those conditions make stuff you don't want to do, to begin with, almost unbearable. You win stud points for taking care of the family when you do the work yourself, though. Good luck repairing the valve and hope you win best-in-show stallion.

If you are providing labor, is the landlord providing parts or anything?

No hes not, but dont worry hes gonna get a bill.
Or im gonna get 6 months free rent.
The guys he had come this morning quoted him 8k to fix it.
So thats why im at what im at.
I need water.
My old man is on his way with his tractor. He finally got a trailer so he can get it here

Good luck! I hope the tractor makes short work of the worst of the digging and the fix ends up being easier than expected. ...and you get a good discount on the rent.

Sounds like you won the dad lottery, by the way. Good on him for having the skills and wanting to help his son out. I have a great dad, too. Not everyone does.

Thanks, hoping i can get to the valve and turn my water on and address the issue Wednesday when it's cooled off. Its just a broken nipple on the shut off valve so I'm hoping I can get it turned on with pliers or something once I get to it.

My old man and I have always had a pretty good relationship, we had an issue a while back, I slugged him, we're cool now, prolly better than ever actually.

Got it fixed.
This went from the valve halfway up the pipe.
The end was wore out and wouldn't turn the valve...
Glad I didn't pay anyone for this.

Ahhhh. A cold shower has never felt better

Did you replace the the end fitting or just open valve with wrench

I opened the valve by hand with pliers, put the box back over it and filled it in.
Ill let the landlord know he needs a wider slotted curb key.
But no longer my issue. I added in a shut off on my main water line coming in from the ground so now I will never need to shut the curb box valve off again.

Very smart move adding another shut off valve

Yep, thats why I shut it off in tbe first place, and to add an outdoor spigot.
Well. It turned into a whole lot more but im just glad I know enough about plumbing to be able to fix it myself.

My friends I have 10 plants running right now. All seeds dropped April 28th and all were up by May 2 - 4. I dropped 5 outdoors and 5 indoors. No fucking comparing between the two. The outside are shit. Small but coming around now. The indoor are monsters in comparison to size and vegetation. Fuck outdoors

I planted seeds at the first of the month. They aren’t huge but they are growing. First time doing autos so I’m not up on what’s normal yet. This is day 22 for these two.


Hoping they get bigger this last week.

Over all I haven’t been happy with this years outside attempts. Not enough rain. Crazy humidity. From to cold to way to hot. Still have some hope though.

glad you got if fixed man.. a water line is way better to have to dig than a sewer line!!!!!!! haha

I've always wondered how you keep your water from freezing in the winter, how do you keep it warm in the space between the ground (well freeze line, whatever yours is.. ours s 16") between there and the inside of your home?

mine is like eight foot under ground so it would never freeze.

The water lines in the park are 60 inches below ground.
When the water comes up from the valve in the ground to my trailer its inside a 10" insulated pipe, from that pipe i have it heat taped and inside 4" foam pipe insulation, then wrapped in r19 fuzz.
