This Old House Part Deuce

This saga of the Old House that would be renewed will continue for several months and will occupy my attention for a while. Rebuilding an old house, taking care of the tolls of time and fashion is an operation that requires patience. Its like doing a bypass operation on an old ailing heart, no I take that back, this is more like a heart transplant without the steroids! When we are done you will remember that this is an older house but see it running alongside of the youngest athletes in the race. Thats what I’m talking about. Here is an example. Water I mean lots of it!

As you may recall when Jennifer and I first purchased this Old House in Arcadia California the home of the Apaches, we replaced all of the plumbing from the street with copper piping. What I did at that time was to run a full inch and a half pipe directly to the back yard in future hope that we would be able to do something with the back yard space that was filled with a swimming pool at the time. That is an older story that was never told. Hmmmmm.

OK, so now we have our project going and today the plumbers came to “sweat” up some new copper outlets for the back yard and future sprinkler system. The picture above shows you the manly copper tubing poking out the the future master bedroom addition. I do not think that any new project will have any more water than is shown have. As a matter of fact none will except those that builders build for themselves. When the copper was sweated up we tested the line and filled up a bucket so fast everybody was laughing. These are the areas where skimping comes in big time for builders but not at this Old House project. We will have abundant water availability so long as the city and county allows us water use.
