Raining Again

It started to come down right when we decided to walk to the corner store for a few things, so that was the end of that. Didn't want to melt. Today was the beginning of the Plumbing Project--replacing all the old water pipes. The guys came at eight and got a lot done, but they will be here all week, trudging in and out, cutting holes in walls and floors and generally upsetting the cat. You couldn't ask for more conscientious, polite and efficient workers, but it is still a mess. We have water upstairs for all the necessities, thank goodness, but washing dishes is reminiscent of camping--boiling water on the stove and being mindful of every drop we have to carry to the kitchen. It's only a week, and then we won't have to think about plumbing any more.
