Oh, heck, maybe even three.

Just got back from conference at Disney. Got food poisoning. Spent 12 hours erupting from both ends, then the next 36 hours recovering. Not the way I wanted to use my "Park Hopper"...

oops, I must've missed that one. Yeah, Blimey is right, that makes THREE useful posts.

Now, pardon me, I have to go to the bathroom and swap brushes, be right back.

I bought the 100', 3/4" rubber garden hose from Griot's... love it. And they are right, it never does kink. Worth every penny.

I forgot to mention, I used Hydro as a finish on the carry all I made yesterday. May have to try some Epic on it for more long term durability.

Speaking of hoses, I finally ran a permanent hose to the carport the other day, no more hauling hoses over the fence. There is a hose bib on the side of the house we have never used, so I ran it from there, put a gate valve in where I coil it up, very convenient. I also plan on using that bib to run a drip watering system for the gardens, but I guess that is really for the gardening forum.

Not in my universe, it doesn't. Hose connected to pipe = longer pipe. No difference.
