Fixing the Pump

Yesterday, my grandpa and I went to the hardware store in the morning and got a blow torch. Then, we went to the library to get a movie, "Airplane", they didn't have it, so we ordered it. When we got home we lit the blow torch and loosened up some rusted bolts on the old pump and got the top part off. We tried and tried, but we could not get the pipe unscrewed from the bottom part of the pump. We wanted the pipe off because it was not long enough. We also think that the pipe was lead. I suggested that they get a brand-new pump, but my my grandpa decided not to because it was "too expensive" ($70.00). I think it is worth it. At 4 PM, my grandma took me fishing so I could try out my new reel and my newly stringed pole. After dinner, we watched Antique Road Show.
