Happy Anniversary to us!!! Its one year since we unloaded the UHaul and moved into our Blue House!I so love this 1950s house with its original kitchen cupboards... creaky floor boards.. and vintage pink bathroom. However... part of the that originality is the 70 year old plumbing!
When the bath refused to empty.. even after cleaning the drain.. MrD determined it had to be the plumbing... and after crawling under the house... he discovered the old lead pipes were so corroded they were crumbling...
So after removing the closet wall to access the back of the bath... MrD has spent the last two days... on his back..under the house.. in a very narrow crawlspace.. replacing all the plumbing! And what a great job he's done..
I myself could now become a plumbers mate as I ran back and fro to the garage.. fetching any tool he needed and passing them to MrD through the small(ish) hole in the closet. I even replaced the plug hole and overflow cover... with instructions shouted by MrD from the crawlspace as he held the pipework in place under the bath
So if anyone needs a plumber.... I work for coffee and ice cream!!!
Love and Hugs
