The Plumbers

In preparation for eventually putting our house on the market Andrew has been doing some updating in our bathrooms.  First he replaced the light fixtures (a seemingly easy project until we discovered that the light that was hung over one of the vanities did not have the electrical box centered… so there’s some remaining rearranging and drywall patching that is required before that can be checked off the list), next he replaced the faucets (successful!), then he decided to replace the drain in our master bathroom… this is where the fun begins because it turned into the proverbial slippery slope.  First, the stopper was to be replaced, then the whole drain piece had to replaced, then the u-joint under the sink, and finally once all of the leaking related to those fixes had been dealt with, the hot water valve started dripping.  So that got replaced too.  Andrew’s downfall in all of this was a simple question: “Julia, do you want to help?”  OF COURSE she did!!! And with that she could not be kept away from helping Dad with the plumbing!

She was a great helper but in the end the project was finished Monday while Julia was at daycare!
