I was once again up a little before 5:00 am. Probably a good thing as Coz, Nikki, Cece arrived at 6:30 am. They drove straight through from Wisconsin. After a good visit it was time for me to start work on the hot water recirculating system. First I had to make a trip to Home Depot to get materials for the project. When I got back I decided to do the electrical first because I had to go in the garage attic and knew it would get hotter if I waited. That went well and happy to have that part done. Next it was time to cut the hot water line to install the pump and realized the section of flex pipe I bought was too long which met another trip to Home Depot to exchange it. Cheri went with me this time because she wanted to stop at Publix’s to get some groceries. The pump installation went well. Next was to install the manifold under the kitchen sink. Everything was going good until I went to install the pipe reducers which came with the circulating pump kit. Turn out that the reducers had the wrong pipe thread, think it might have been a metric thread which met another trip to Home Depot to get the right reducers. Long story shorter the project is done now we have to wait until tomorrow to see if it is going to do the job. It was 4:30 pm before I got done and was ready to rest as Darren and Coz were grilling hamburgers and Brats along with the potato salad that Cheri and Nikki made. We also watched the Packer preseason game that Darren had recorded. All in all it was a good day God made for us to spend time together.
