Alex and I are about to head into Missoula for some more plumbing things and, with the blessing of Paul, to eat tacos joyously prepared by someone else.
I took a lot of video today, hoping to upload that and share when I get a chance, but here’s a quick summary with some photos -
Plumbing was still a headache. We couldn’t find what we needed here, but eventually got the strainer basket off. We need a replacement for the p trap… it was cracked not simply loosened.
After coming to that conclusion, we decided to put a pause on the kitchen sink extravaganza and spend the afternoon up at the lab.
We did a four corners tour seeing most of the major highlights

Thanks for the walkabout Clay! The Cooper cabin is a really nice space and the greenhouse is passively doing it's thing well. Looks like the bark park is nearly ready for four footed visitors too!
