34 Holes

We finally got our repiping project completed!  It was quite an ordeal, and it was a mess to clean up, but this should be the end of our pipe leaks.  Yeah!  We were all sick when the project began so we decided to pack up and head to Me-Me and Pop's for the duration.  I love packing in laundry baskets when we go to their house so that's what we did.  We even packed a little light reading.  (But no decisions on names yet, sorry!)

When they finished we had pretty new pipes, but also quite a few holes.  Thirty-four, if I counted right.  (That's not counting Randy's hole from his foot...)  Behind every sink, every bathtub/shower, every toilet,  the refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, and water heater. Plus a few spots between.  This bathroom has eight holes, but you can only see 5 in this picture.  Look high and look low and you'll find them all!

Our master bathroom has eleven holes and the back hall has eight.  The holes in the back hall are the largest.  And we're going to have to cut out even more.  There's another hole behind the water heater that you can't see.

And here's the ones in the ceiling.

We are now in the process of getting bids to patch the holes.  We also got new fixtures to get rid of the residue from the galvanized pipes.  So much better!  The new shower head makes such a nice pretty rain that I don't want to get out.  It might have something to do with the cold air that blows in from all the holes in the walls!  The plan is to get patching done soon.  We are having Ami, Uncle Jerry, and Thatcher come to visit and we don't want any babies crawling through the open holes!  That would be hard to explain!
