Work

Recent work.
Old houses, mostly east of the river.

Repairs, new bathrooms and heating, in houses that were built before any of us. Each of these began with a phone call.

Kitchen sink and bridge tap

A 1912 kitchen with its supply lines in the wrong wall. We moved both and set a bridge tap on the new worktop.

The original bath stayed. Its lead waste and both supplies did not.

The old valve had wept inside the wall for a year. The new one sits behind an access panel in the mirror cabinet.

One day
