Sooo today apparently was "Everything works" day! :D

here's what worked:

first of all, i got up before noon. yay! had breakfast with a little dota2 stream (holy lags and disconnects! lol ^^ so horrible at the beginning, didn't really watch anymore after that)

secondly, i stole my moms car (she's on vacation right now) without procrastinating a few hours

so, afterwards i drove that care to the first hardware store, got most of the stuff i need, including flex tubes to connect my kittchen tap to the wall plugs for water (over 1m distance, we almost bent our own pipes.. >.<). The only thing i didn't get on first run was a funny little tool to make a hole in my kitchen sink to get the water tap connected to below, because these come in three sizes and i, being the noob i am, didn't know which i need. I also got a new shower head because the old one was getting stuck due to limescale growing everywhere.

So, back home, measured the thing, grabbed a bunch of drain pipe corners i had over from constructing the air vent on top of my stove (it goes out through the roof now, woot!), went to another hardware store where we bought those and returned them. Also i got that funny little tool there in the fitting size.

So, back home i went to work on my kittchen. In order for this funny tool thing to work, you need to drill a hole first. But not just "a hole", a fucking 1cm hole. do you know how UNBELIEVABLY hard that steel is they make these sinks of? It's ridiculous. So i just thought "well get a spiral drill and go for it". So i took the 1cm drill and went for it. absolutely nothing happened.

Okay, so, smaller drill and then work up in sizes. I took the first drill and started drilling. That went in a little, and then i almost ignited the tip. Thats how hot this thing became. wtf. So i drilled slow, and cooled with water, and drilled some more, and then took the bigger one, and an even bigger one, and finally the right size. And after about 30 minutes of drilling (1 hour if you count small icq breaks with my cousin, getting to that in a moment), i FINALLY had a hole just big enough to fit that weird tools screw through. Once the tool was in i just squeezed out the appropriately sized hole.

Let me tell you, it's a weird feeling heating a 3cm metal cylinder up to nearly "burns your finger" temperature just by turning a screw on top, took some force but apparently i'm somewhat strong like shit (for being a computer science student who doesn't do any sport whatsoever), ppl always that "thats too heavy to lift" and i just pick it up Oo

+ Show Spoiler [This think was a whole hour of work.] +
[image loading]
i should hang it on nail or something, like a trophy.. x)


So, anyways, with that hole finally done, i put in the tap, stuffed together all the wires, nailed the small drain pipes into the wall (which idiot designed this sink to have the odor trap hanging at the side, essentially building a 30cm lever which applies a significant torque to ground plate of the sink?), and now i have a working kittchen sink, yeah! and (alsmost) completely built on my own :> cool stuff.

+ Show Spoiler [Finished sink, top view] +

and it's not even dripping

no dripping here either! just need to figure out how to hook up the dish washer drain to the open plug in the top right.. Oo probably just take a short piece of tube and clamp it on both sides.


combined with the air outlet hood and stove which i wired up a few days ago, this now gives me a fully working kittchen once more :D

+ Show Spoiler [Full view after stove was done] +
[image loading]
this was actually while making some spaghetti to test the stove since i had taken off the back wall and everything to hook up all the wiring and such.. well, apparently i did good, cause i didn't blow any fuses while cooking, yay :D


So, now i'm staying awake way too long cause i gotta get up tomorrow, to be back at the hardware store at about 8am (its 1am30 now), to return that funny kitchen tool, and then head over to my cousin, who is going to be studying in france soon, so we will be emptying out her apartment tomorrow. Yay, more furniture to carry around, opportunities to apply my bear strength everywhere!

so, third, fourth and fifth i installed water in my kitchen, i installed stuff to get the water out again, and i installed my new shower head.

sixth: i got a holder for my trash bag, finally that thing doesn't just stand on the ground and fall over every now and then anymore! :D

seventh i managed to squeez in a run to the grocery store, so no shopping required tomorrow, so i don't get any time conflicts with my cousins moving

then eigth and lastly, after we managed to properly communicate with our project stakeholder and his server hoster, they set up a second database, and so i managed after another hour of bugfixing and adapting, to launch our currently in development software system server component on the server, and thats now working to.

Okay so one final thing in order to ease you rating this a 5 (lol ^^): I recently acquired a presenter in order to ease this presentation stuff at univ. Apparently, my cat really likes laser pointers. It doesn't matter what she's doing, even if she's having one of her psycho freak-outs (she's over 16 years old), the second i point this thing on the ground and she sees it, she is of hunting it down :D

can i eat this? hmm


alright, that's it. Please excuse the horrible image quality, just pics taken with my phone. But, better horrible quality pics than no pics! Thanks for reading if you survived. good night!

aaaand i totally overslept 90 minutes today xD still managed to get there more or less soon enough though.

Big advice to everyone of you: DO NEVER EVER EVER BRING YOUR PARENTS TO HELP MOVING OUT! What you do by this is confront them face on with what their education has resulted in, with a little dust lying in on the window frames and stuff you want to keep that doesn't make sense in their eyes, and it causes absolutely nothing but problems x)

thanks for the comments ^^
