Outbound Plumbing

We’ve done some traveling recently and I was once again reminded how different plumbing is in other parts of the world. I (Brynn) have been a few places on this earth. But I have never seen a shower with folding doors! I was concerned they would keep swinging in while you showered, but once you pulled them out to the sides, they stayed put. This design was space saving and kept you from smashing your elbow into the frame, had it been fixed, while you used the sink. Instant HOT water (that never ran out), great pressure and radiant heat in the floor rounded out this tiny little Norwegian bathroom.

Pink tile? Gold fixtures? Succulent wall sconces? Yes, please! Remember that “before” photo from August? Well, sometimes amazing things take time. And this guest bath is stunning!

When the home you are working on downtown has the ORIGINAL septic and you need the specs… the city sends you the service permit! 1938!!!

It’s national Hug a Plumber Day! So here’s a few shots of us squeezing up next to ours.

Well, it wouldn’t be February in Central Texas without a little ice.

As we head into a couple of days with freezing temps, here are some tips for your pipes!

- While most suggest you “do the drip,” we recommend once every hour or so turning on your bathroom faucets, hot and cold, to full stream for a couple of minutes and flushing your toilets. This keeps the water flowing in a more forceful manner. (Make sure you don’t forget to do this overnight as well!)

- Keep lower cabinets open to allow heat to circulate.

- Cover any outdoor spigots!

With icy roads predicted, we won’t be out and about tomorrow. But please don’t hesitate to call with any questions! 512-202-8945
