New Look
Yet another new look for the site but this time I’ve moved (yet another blog) to wordpress. The transition was fairly easy except for the importing of posts. I had to import them from the blogger hosted blog into a wordpress.com hosted blog first before exporting(and re-importing) to this blog as my webhost is godaddy.com who helpfully </sarcasm> block https ports by default on their regular packages. grnggh
Still, I’m glad I’ve moved and did the validation thing. Wordpress is so much better because of at least one crucial benefit - pages. I wanted to post a few plumbing “how-to” pages on simple jobs but that’s a no-go in blogger. You can only post blog posts. No hacks. Yuck!
So as a service to my loyal readers I’m going to be posting some how-to pages soon.

Billy,
Any headway made there toward replacing copper pipe for something junkies can’t steal for the recycling money? Just curious. I would think there would be some kind of union adapter by now for cpvc. Am applying for a county job here for steady money after two years of feast and famine - “weatherization tech”. Interview today. I’ve even re-submitted my resume to go back to work with my old employer in the cast stone industry. We’ll see what they say. Hope this re-vamp works out for you. You’re about as ramblesome as myself.

Yeah there are adaptors to convert copper to plastic. In fact all new mains are plastic MDPE pipe.
People don’t want plastic in their houses though. I don’t know why the local authority housing stock doesn’t use it as it would be far better for the scrap reason. They’d still nick the cylinder right enough!
I personally prefer copper as well, it’s a much better finish in my opinion, although most of the time people want it hidden anyhow!.
Good luck with the job hunt. Weatherization tech?? is that someone who puts on shingles and tyvek??

Hi, thought i would leave a comment, love the site design, colors are very pleasing on the eye. However, the sidebar is right at the bottom for me. I think it should be at the top or middle.

Yeah I see that happens in Internet Explorer. I have no idea how to sort that! lol
I had the same issue in my other blog and managed to sort it by removing list padding. I’ll now be spending hours in the style sheet! Thanks! ;oP
Billy ;oD

Ha, sorted it, I had a links list which was wider than the sidebar, i made it width 40px which seems to have sorted it! Thanks for pointing that out.
