We are really starting to settle into our new house. We have done a lot of work to it so far, but boy do we have a long way to go! At times it seems overwhelming but we are trying to pace ourselves as best we can.

I knew when we bought this house that there might be a surprise or two, as it is an older house. Knock on wood we have been pretty lucky but a few interesting things have popped up here and there. There is a rather important pipe that has been giving us a bit of trouble. The plumber has been here and worked his magic and all is well…for now. But when a plumber looks at you and says “Boy I have never seen that used, or, Wow! I cannot believe they did it like THIS!” - you start to feel a bit nervous. We definitely have some more plumbing work in our future but for now everything is pretty functional.

FYI - If a previous owner did some crazy, code violating plumbing work, do not be in the basement when the plumber starts to saw those pipes apart. Strange things lurk in pipes….strange things!
