Today Dad stayed on the Cape while our plumber continued working to get us a working shower. Unfortunately that did not happen today. I was gone most of the day with classes and running around. I did not come back until around 1pm and our plumber was looking at the roof above the bathroom. The roof is a flat roof and the venting pipe there had rubber and flashing that was all cracked and worn. It is a wonder that our bathroom ceiling didn’t look worse than it did and didn’t fill up with water every rain.
Tonight I took everyone out to KC’s Burger Barn for dinner because the shower was not yet installed. Just trying to distract everyone from that, but it looks like it will be in tomorrow.
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.
