Smoke Signals

Walt Kowalski has been working endlessly, with frozen fingers, on the plumbing in the basement.  He's doing such a great job.  It's not a simple or speedy process.  He's working in the basement but he's planning for the first floor laundry and second floor bath.
 
He has several copper pipes sticking up through the floor of the laundry room.  They are the new supply lines for the hot and cold water.    As he solders other pipes in the basement the smoke slowly rises.  The cold temperature in the room and no cap created a smoke signal from below.
 

 

 

The kitchen floor is gone. It wasn't easy, but it was necessary. Everyday the old, musty, mold smell gets a little less.

 



 

I know it's a slow process.  If you hear me getting discouraged, just remind me how far we have come. It is easy to forget.
