The house is a fixer-upper,of course,and so for the past two days ,I have been fixing things,crawling about in the basement-dirt-floored,naturally trying to learn to fix copper plumbing.What a nightmare!
The people renting the house last winter froze and burst the pipes,and I have to put in all new stuff.I am learing as I go.With five foot headroom,it is a real joy to be playing with torch and hot solder down there,climb around oozing soipipes from another era,crouching Quasimodo-like,measuring,cutting,squatting,slouching.My back is permanently bent.My beard is full of spiders.My clothes are indescribabable.
