PVC cement is kinda scary and I am not completely convinced I need to use it. lol
None of this pipe is going to be completely inaccessible, and I may need to adjust things down the line... all the joints are within the wet zone of the holes so no water lost if there are any small leaks.
started early this morning so I could get at leaat something done before the oppressive heat sets in.
I need to go to the store rn to pick up fittings.

glad I started early today.
Went to the hardware shop at open 7:30AM only to find they were out of elbows.
went to Can Tire at open at 8. Same story.
Had to drive 30min to clean out the Home Hardware stores in Qualicum Beach and Parksville of all 8 elbows they had between the two of them.
Got back in time to do some rough fitting, but it is already 27° and hotter in the hole. So I am done for the day!
Managed to rough together the bottom intake pipe as well.
Bit by Bit!
