About Estill County, KY

Today, I did an Irvine, KY Home Inspection. OK, it wasn't really IN Irvine, it was 12 miles or so up in the mountains southeast of Irvine, KY. But around there, that counts as Irvine, KY because it's the closest town you can easily drive to without swimming a river.

Ah, if I could just convince Mrs. Erby of the joys of country living.

And yes, the seller claims there's some good bass in that pond at front left.

But, while it was a beautiful place and well built, the local copper thieves had obviously been there to pay a visit. It's been sitting vacant for awhile and apparently someone knew it was vacant.

There used to be a heat pump unit where the ductwork all met.

The thieves were a lazy bunch that left quite a bit of copper behind. Seems they could have cut it a little closer to the end.

And how much fun would life be if I didn't throw in a picture of some good ole Git Er Done Good Nuff Kentucky Hillbilly Plumbing skills under the kitchen sink.

Let's see here.

Connect the ABS piping from the sink to a washing machine drain hose with duct tape.

Connect the washing machine hose to an ABS trap with duct tape.

Connect the ABS trap to a PVC drain arm.

Must have worked. Weren't any water stains on the floor of the cabinet.

Git Er Done - Good Nuff!

All in all, a peaceful ride by the river and up and over the hills.
