Thinking maybe the fishing is a little slow over on the Pacific side? If the fish aren't biting it's time for "Home Improvements". Or, the fish are biting too well? Only takes a little time to catch 'em and head home.

You got it right Cypress, fishing is real slow...the water is still cold for YT but I gotta tell ya...I'm pretty happy it is because it's nice and
cool here when it is stinking hot everywhere else!!! YT are showing just north of us and the boys are filling their nets with halibut just south of
here....there are corbina in our cove here these days....but Juan will lay down his trowel this week to take Bajaboy fishing and help him build his
little barda so his new baby boy will be confined to the yard for awhile.

NO BOB... what I said is that brand of cement does NOT need a primer to work, period.
IF a 'spec job' requires a primer to be used, then use it so you comply with the specs... But, the Christy's glue works without a primer... and has
never failed me in pipe connections I have made since switching to that brand some 10 years or more ago... 1/2" through 2" PVC sch. 40 and sch. 80,
all high pressure. In case you missed more of what I said earlier, let me add again that I am using NEW pipe that hasn't been exposed to sunlight for
months!
IF you are cementing onto pipe that has been in the sun too long and is oxydized (has a powdery, dry film on it) then use a primer, for sure! The PVC
primer pre-cleans old or weathered pipe so the glue/ cement works better... helps the cement to start 'melting' the plastic together.
Finally, PVC pipe is for UNDERGROUND/ total shade use only (unless it is UV treated for above ground) and will oxydize in sunlight... IF any pipe is
coming up from the ground for valves or bibs, use sch. 80 (grey) PVC for short distance above ground as a better choice than white sch. 40 pipe. If
you can place a box over the valves, even better!
Today, I cemented an 1 1/2" main line that has 110 PSI and pressured it up in less than an hour... no primer, just Red Hot Blue Glue... with fittings
and pipe both coated and bottom socket fitted (pipe pushed all the way into the fitting).

Shari & Juan,
Congrats on your new project. It looks fabulous to me. Whatever the challenges you will meet them, and enjoy yourselves in the process.
The rest of this thread is a giant bore!
Testosterone is a wonderful thing but not when it exhibits itself in the fashion of these posts............
I congratulate you on your efforts and share your excitement!
