The do-over tub...

Finally, tonite, after doing everything twice on that darn tub, we've got real water coming from its own spigot in a normal manner, comestics need to be done before shower can be used, but gosh darn it, I just might have to have myself a good soak tonite.... or not, these days its restfulness before cleanliness. I kind of lost track of evenings put in on the tub, but the redos included the drain, resweating the waterlines closer to the tub wall... undoing those to flip the mixer valve right side up (turning on water was giving you a shower whether you wanted it or not) ... resweating the copper again (plastic supply lines are starting to look real good to me) and finally rotating the guts of the mixer 180 degrees since barely turning the water on got the hot and full open got cold... oh my head... I was ready to pull an Al Pacino on the tub and "Let me introduce you to my little friend!" (Scarface) Enough about the tub, I've wasted enough time on that thing already. I've had some absolutely fabulous help around here lately, here's a pic of a couple of them....
