Silly Plastic tools

So I get home from work last night with the hopes of being able to finish the work on the bathroom. No such luck. First off I get the new kit open, and it turns out that in order to switch to the posi-temp control faucet you have to change the valve in the wall. Since I don’t have the time or the tools to pull that off right now, I just took the kit back to the good old Home Depot. While I was there I picked up a new cartridge, handle, and faucet, to replace what I was returning in the kit. The new cartridge came with the plastic cartridge removal tool. I got everything out and started to remove the old cartridge when the remover broke. So I was stuck not being able to get the old cartridge out.

Amy is going to pick up the uber cartridge removal tool on her way home. It’s more expensive and made of metal instead of plastic so it should do the job. If that does not work, I have no clue what to do.


The band is back in the studio this weekend, but this time we are in Raleigh at Low Watt Studios. This is where we recorded the last album, and where we started recording three songs about a year ago. We are finally going back to finish the job. The Drums and Bass are already recorded so only Keith, Eric, and I need to finish up. I imagine Keith will lay down guitar before I get to record cello parts.

With any luck this will finish up our recording for a while. As much fun as I have in the studio with everyone, I do have lots of work to do on the house. I really just want to get things to a point with the house that we not worry about it for a while. We are not too far away from that. It’s a matter of finishing up a few small projects, painting, and then unpacking some other rooms.

The damn thing is so heavy I have no doubt it'll take out any cartridge - no matter how rusted it is. Just try not to take out the wall with it. :-)
