Well... we almost have the boiler hooked up, and we almost have the range hooked up, and we almost have the shower hooked up, so we're sort of almost done. Sort of. We're both burned out but plugging along just trying to get done. Seems sometimes taht it will never end, but I think most anyone who's built their own house can attest to that painful truth. It never feels like it's going to be done.
It's really been rather frustrating, because it seems like the main problem is simply that we never have all the connections we need, or for some reason we were given the wrong thing in our order. It's happened multiple times with both the boiler and the range. Twice in my attempts to get the stove hooked up I've quit for the night thinking I needed just ONE more connector or adapter and then I'd be done. Then I get one more connector and find when I'm almost done that it still won't go together and I need another. Then when I try to communicate to the people who carry the adapter that I need what specifically I need, they tell me that it doesn't sound like I need that and do I even know the size and they don't sell those individually - they come with the flex connector that doesn't fit the pipe it's supposed to. And the adapter doesn't come with the flex connector at all - it came with the regulator on the propane tank. So they don't really have any clue what I'm talking about, and they'd rather not go to the trouble of trying. So I took the regulator off the tank and brought that, the flex connector, and the adapter in question into town with me today to see if I could POSSIBLY get the correct thing. If they still won't get it for me for whatever stupid reason, I'll just go to Ferguson's for one more 90 degree connector and make it work that way. Makes me tired...
