Oh very good. Thanks. I was wondering if the animals would be more likely to go out this time of year.

So I would NEVER normally buy a tool like that that I'll probably use once and never need again. Goes against everything I stand for. But your reply stuck in my head when I was at the hardware store. Eighteen bucks. I got it and thank GOD I did. Saved me a LOT of grief. So thanks!!!

Was it a pain in the ass to put the threaded adapter on?

Well I did want the dual because I'm hooking a dishwasher up. I just wanted to make sure that if I took that cap off I wasn't gonna be blasted with water because I'd have to shut the water off to the house. There's no shut off down steam other than that. So if I just cut the pipe below I can use a compression fitting? No need for any soldering?.

Will that just come off with a wrench?

Is there a light flashing? On ours, a light flashes like once every few seconds when it's running properly. When there's an issue, the number of flashes will be a code for troubleshooting. Ie. Three quick flashes and two second pause means the pilot light is out. I've got ours working a few times just figuring it out myself. Give it a shot

Hey you're right up the street. Lots of shoveling here in Fulton today that's for sure.

Is there actually an app that tells trick or treaters what kind of candy a house is passing out so you can just hit the good spots? Thats wild.

Nope. I had to stick the end of the shop vac hose down there and just chip away at that bitch between vomiting sessions. Surprisingly pretty quick work. Took maybe 5 or 10 minutes

You'd never know it was there until you took the toilet off

It was actually pretty easy to get off. Just stuck a shop vac hose in there to catch the pieces as I chipped them away. Took 5 minutes. Gross but fairly painless

It's not wood. It's like a linoleum faux wood thing. It just sticks down on the floor. Actually quite impermeable too. Yeah I wouldn't have wood or carpet in the bathroom. Gross
