Lighting Up Our OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE!

I don't know what's going on but something bad just happened honey stop stop stop stop welcome back guys so today what we're working on is doing all the plumbing to connect the house to the septic tank , so it is necessary to change. get your brain off of electricity and get back to plumbing now I remember all the rules and requirements for that, yes no it's plumbing, my opinion it seems a lot easier, it's just a matter of getting the dry fit, measuring the entire fit well dry, it is the most difficult part to achieve. outside the house, I was telling him that at least it's not spring yet, so there shouldn't be snakes under there.

Rat snakes love to be under our house and in our house well bear come here he's going to get his ball oh no it's not a false alarm it's doubling what what I don't know what's going on but something just happened have a bad time baby stop, stop, stop, you're twisting the bed, oh my god, you broke the bed, you broke the bed today just isn't our day okay, so today what I'm working on is installing this flange lavatory. Last night I ran into the hardware problem, the steel bolts don't work with the stainless steel nuts, the nylon nuts I had with it, apparently they are not compatible, so today what I'm going to use are coated roof fasteners .

Yes, I know they are made for metal so they are supposed to be rust and rust resistant because they have a coating. I actually like these. better because one is still tapping and two because they are not going to require a nut on the back so I just drilled them out and for some reason if I ever have to replace the toilet flange I only have to remove one screw. because I mean there's going to be spray foam and all that insulation down there so you can see how that would be a hit oh man I'm so happy so I'm just going to have to crawl under the house and make a little more notch . of those ridges under the container floor because they are just causing a headache for everything.

Every time I've already broken a bit, I'm just going to go through and notch the two or three holes I have left that have the ridge in the way. Later that day we decided to refocus on the electrical so we could work on installing the back porch lights. This way we can more easily work on the plumbing outside at night. Oh, look at that little smile. Oh yes, my God, it's windy today. It's such a beautiful day, look at that sun. I hope you can hear me. Yes, we would eventually love to have a wind generator here.

That's another way to get energy, but definitely, for where we are located, solar energy is by far the best option. I plan to expand that at some point, but someday we would like to try the wind generator because it would be a good option when there is no sun. When there is no sun it is usually because there is a lot of storm so I think it would definitely be great to try it in February you want to go for a walk we are going after having rained so much for the last two weeks it really makes you appreciate days like today so We're going for a walk, so what are we working on today?

It's just that we're still wiring the house more specifically, we're working on the back porch area right now, so Splinter is at the store and he has to go get a smaller hole saw because we're working on running that wire for both of us. fans that will be there because the back porch will have two fans and then we have two back porch lights that will be on in the house and I am very excited to finish this porch once the septic tank is complete because Obviously it runs there under the porch, we'll be able to build that platform so we can't wait to complete it because I know we'll be there the whole time because we're so used to being outside and he's back with the best in the world. little hole saw I don't know if it's the smallest but it's pretty small okay so this is done now we just need to hook up the nut bees and then we can turn on our back porch light. excited, I can't believe it seems like just yesterday we were building this porch overhang, so to now have a light back here is absolutely amazing.

I can't wait until it gets dark and then we can sit here and have some whiskey. one light, well we don't have the second light for some reason, I guess since I had the light hanging only one of the connections came loose so we cut the power and checked it out okay. I'm pretty sure I figured it out. What it was was just the neutral wire from the second light coming loose, so it's as strange as we'll be able to see out here. It doesn't feel real. I know it's just two lights and it may not look like one.

It's a big deal, but it makes it feel so much more complete. One day we will be sitting here on the porch. It's really cold so the septic guys are coming tomorrow so what I'm going to work on is the pipes under the house. as square as possible so they can review my work. If something needs to be changed, we can change it tomorrow. I have a little problem. Sorry, I'm trying to do this one-handed. I'm off about a quarter of an inch. the alignment of the flanges in the middle and guest bathroom are perfect, but the toilet flange in the master bedroom or master bathroom is off by, I would say, about a quarter of an inch, no big deal because I have plenty of room to play.

I feel like we have literally I've been working in this house forever oh my gosh okay that reminded me I recently saw a comment that said they play drinking game whatever it is they watch our videos every time I say literally have a drink I don't realize I'm saying it like that. a lot, but you literally never say it, but now every time I say it, I'm aware of it, so thanks for that guys, I'll play with you, you're literally done, there's literally nothing there. Is it strange, as strange as playing a drinking game, but we're not really like a camera, it's not real time, so we're putting your dream just with people from the future, yeah, this is kind of like Back to the Future.
