The Plumbers Arrive

Thursday, January 25, 2007
Yesterday the big event was the radiator being removed from the wall and placed neatly about a foot away from where it used to be.

We're going to have in-floor heating, so it was necessary for the radiator to go. Many people have told us that these old radiators are very valuable now. Oddly, when I've offered them this valuable old thing, every single person has declined, which I don't think they'd do if I offered them something of more obvious value, like a hunk of gold, for example.
Today the plumbers from Blaylock Plumbing were here bright and early. Like the carpenters, they were very agreeable and assured me that I would eventually again have a kitchen. They roughed in some pipes. I'm not sure what the pipes are going to do, but they look very nice.

We had a regularly scheduled meeting with Adam this afternoon. One thing I really appreciate about Otogawa-Anschel

is that they're very big on keeping you informed about what's going on. And, although Adam cautioned us that there are many, many ways for a project to have problems and countless ways to fall behind, at this point, he could say those lovely words "right on schedule."

Glass half full?... There is snow outside and you still have heating? And doesn't that pipe work look like an Damian Hurst original! You are a lucky, lucky gal. Cheers, Melinda

in-floor heating? luxurious.

Melinda,
Or a "half glass full," as George Bush just described Cheney. I am lucky, but even lucky people get to complain.

Pinknest,
Especially in Minnesota.
