Today our plumber got to work on the downstairs pipes. He ran into a few snags, though. He got most of the re-piping done around the laundry area. So much that was done in the past was done so wrong. He fixed up all of it to run more efficiently and to look much better, too. He discovered one pipe that was totally cracked and it is a wonder that it never failed on us. He also discovered that the pipe from the second floor bathroom that brings everything down from up there was basically two pipes resting on each other, not connected, just resting on each other. We are finding too many things like this.
Tonight Andy made a wonderful strawberry/pineapple sorbet using their Ninja Creami. Andy also climbed a 5.9 at rock Climbing and that was a bit accomplishment for Andy.
As we continue to work on the bathroom we are finding all sorts of things. My dad found that one wire for the lights above the sink has a screw right through the middle of it. How that never shorted out over the years is anyone’s guess. Today Dad and I finished up the teardown and then we went to Home Depot to pick up some supplies and a new fan for the bathroom. There are so many to choose from but I think we got a really good one. It is supposed to be quiet and with everything properly vented (things were not done properly in the past) we should have the bathroom steam cleared out quickly, even when Eva takes showers that make the bathroom feel like the Everglades.
While we were in Home Depot we picked up some sheetrock. We got one piece for the ceiling that is mildew resistant and 5 pieces that were regular sheetrock. We left the cart over by the sheetrock and picked up the other things. When we came back to the cart and went to check out we noticed that someone had put two additional sheets of sheetrock on the cart. It was rather strange that they would do that.
