Had a pain in the b u t t day today tearing out the kitchen faucet and replacing it with new one today. That is tight quarters for broad shoulders!
Rewarded myself by making some pickled eggs and pickled sausage. Lots of Frank’s Red Hot in the brine. Now the 2 week wait.
ND Mike oh man, add a good beer and you have a great dinner.

ND Mike I know the feeling. just fixed a leak under the kitchen sink and replaced shower faucet, had to cut a wall open for that.

calldoctoday seems like there is always something to fix around the house. Yeah, should be spicy, I had a hard time breathing while I brought the brine to a boil. I should have done it outside!!!

ND Mike Just got to love lying under those sinks, makes you wonder why they can’t design them so that you can actually work on them. I had to replace the tub control assembly last summer. I had to cut the wall out under the stair to access it and it was only a 36" x36" area to work. I’m a bit smaller than you, but have two steel knee’s and a 6" zipper on my spine, so I feel your pain.

johnsbrewhouse makes a person wonder why they don’t put access panels! We always did in the houses we built.

My wife puts up with a lot of stuff I do! Mostly she never complains about. I spray a wood finish that is conversion varnish that is thinned with toluene. I have to wear a double element ask when I’m tented in the basement or in the garage. Very acidity to the nose! Can’t beat the finish tho! Nothing has an effect on it.

johnsbrewhouse Looks like the opening scene to a real life horror story! I am sure that took a good chunk of time out of your day

ND Mike Those are going to be great. You can’t have enough Frank’s as far as I’m concerned. I remodeled our house a few years ago. The thing that amazed me was there were no water shut off valves any where except the main line from the pump. I changed that. We have shots shut offs everywhere now.

wdaly I can’t believe they plumbed like that in the past. Each faucet and appliance should have a shut off.
It’s going to be a long 2 week wait to try those eggs and sausages.

ND Mike I feel your pain on the wait. I’m on my third week waiting on smoked cheese. I have a horseradish cheese that I can’t wait to taste.

Jonathon couple of days, worse part was the I had to shut the water off to the house because the water line had broken behind the surround of the tub and we had water leaking. My wife stores all kinds of crap under the stairs that never see’s the light of day. I cut the lines and cap them once I opened the wall. I had to go get the PEX expansion tool from my son-in-law we own and get parts and pieces to put it back together. About a three day project with the drywall.

wdaly smoked horseradish cheese sounds great!!!

wdaly I think you’ll be alright to give it a try at the 18-20day mark. Re-wrap after trying and wait the full time and try it again. I usually wait 2 weeks on mine and it doesn’t seem to mellow a lot more after that. I smoke most of my cheeses with Alder, Pecan (my 2 favorites), or Hickory or Cherry. Most of my cheeses I smoke for 2 hours. After the first hour of smoke I put it back in the fridge to cool and do a second batch for an hour. Then the first batch goes back in. When finished I will let it cool for at least 2 hours before I wrap in plastic wrap. After another week I will vac pack. We love our smoked cheese and have been doing it for 15 years. I also noticed that nobody mentioned Provolone. Two of my favorites are Provolone and Muenster. Give them a try I’m sure you’ll enjoy them, especially in a 2 or 3 of a kind grilled cheese!

johnsbrewhouse did you use sharkbite connections from copper to pex or did you use solder on connections then pex?

ND Mike My house had CPVC so went from CPVC to Expansion PEX fittings. We try not to use Shark-Bite fittings with the PEX since when ended up with a fitting a leak at our camp. The expansion fittings work so much better. Going from copper to PEX I would use solder on to PEX expansion adapters. I sweat all my copper. I’m old school I guess, I can sweat and braze copper.
