First and foremost we must replace the plumbing. There is a little problem with "Gray Pipe", and it was recalled in 1995. Needless to say, the previous owners ignored the recall or simply didn't open their mail, lol. The inspector said repairing the leaks would only cause leaks elsewhere, so it's all new pipes.
So, our first official act as Mobley's
I won't show pictures of the re-pipe, as I refuse to crawl underneath the house. But here is a picture of the offending pipe, all neatly stacked, as though it didn't cause any heartache at all.
Naughty Pipe, Naughty
We now begin our journey, starting anew at our ages, lol. But God is at the helm, and this ship is going forward into uncharted territory with wind in the sails and adventures to be had.
Breathe a prayer for us if you will,
We'll be the better for it!
Blessings, Theresa
P.S. We are hiring a licensed plumber to do the re-pipe lest you think we attempted said work, lol.
Thank you for coming by my blog! I can't wait to see how you make this home completely yours. I'll be watching! :)
ReplyDeleteI know what I want Mobley to be, but I'm sure she'll take on her own "personality" as we go along, lol..... Thanks for watching!
ReplyDeletePlumbing can be a real bummer, good thing you are getting it out of the way first thing. Can't wait to see the transformation of Mobley!
ReplyDeleteThank you Teresa! With the inspiration from you and Magazine Your Home, I'm sure I'll find it easier than those who came before, lol....

So glad I found your blog. I too have a Mobley but mine doesn't have a name. We were just told about our plumbing needs after we spend a tidy sum having some plumbing rerouted. Then last week it sprung a leak. The plumber came and after fixing the leak told us about the gray pipes. I'll be looking forward to following your progress.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, JC. I'll add your blog to my blogroll, and we can all help each other out with our choice of abodes, lol......That gray pipe is notorious, I hope you can get yours solved as well. I look forward to seeing your blog.
