Here is a recap on the thrash that was Friday. Whoever decided I needed to get the water done before we left was a little nuts.... Needless to say, the three hours I had planned for it wasn't enough. Oh well, I dragged my *** out of bed at 6:30 and got to work.
I had to connect the tank to the water heater, both of which were installed at this point, then do all the tank fill side of things, install the water pump, wire all that stuff, and do the grey tank. (yeah typing all that out reminds me three hours were not nearly enough, planned to work 7-10, cleanup and pack and leave at 12)
So to start we have to install the faucet. Kids oil based clay works great for making a dam.
Now you hope and prey you don't break the tile.
Breathe again....
And drop the faucet in. One thing checked off the list.
Run water lines.
Hook up water pump, used flex here to try to keep noise and vibrations in the lines down.... Pump is god damn loud. Its a used one I have had in my garage for years now.
Install fill and vent.
Add water. Chase leaks. I hate threaded fittings!!!! PEX is awesome though.
Hot water coming out!
Apparently I took zero pics of the grey tank. Its the blue jug, its a hose barb fitting off the end of the strainer basket, a piece of 1" vinyl tube. Works really well actually.
Also made a drawer latch. Drawer holds a lot of stuff and likes to fly open when you turn! Yeah not good. Ball detent pin, drawer stays closed.
Reinforcement/latch plate on the inside.
Truck drove great all weekend, towed the boat at 70 no problem.
Stopped at the truck stop and got weighed. 3 people, 2 dogs, 1/2 a tank of water, all out stuff for a long weekend.
