this is the good stuff... nice and clean, smooth as silk. Toilet's in the top left, the rest is yet to come.

How embarassing!

So I'm debating even as I type whether or not this picture should be made public. But in our defense, there is 70 years of buildup that we had nothing to do with.

It's time for you to go, Mr. Cast Iron, allow me to show you the door.

The drains have been slow lately. Very slow. Katie is quoted saying "This has now become first priority, over the kitchen." Saturday I'll be down there banging away at the old pipes and wrestling new ones in it's place. Wish me luck.

Extreme close up of the gooey awesomeness that oozes out of the fitting every time we (or you) wash our (or your) hands in our sink.

Where old meets new. It's time for the old corroded flaking gooey cast iron pipes to leave us forever.

House in progress

How strange that we put wreaths on the windows last weekend and were wearing t-shirts when doing so. When we put the candles in the windows on Tuesday, we went out side to see how they looked, and we were bare foot. Perhaps we'll have to bring back Berl Ives (or whomever sang White Christmas) to do a remake entitled I'm Dreaming of a Balmy Christmas. Photos soon. Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.
