Waterworks





We have plumbed. The drainage, now working precisely, is entirely to D's credit. My mind simply would not wrap, but he got the waterworks puzzle solved.



I'd forgotten about the little wrenches for that game.


We did a happy little water dance, and D shaved. And the rain is pouring down outside in sympathetic celebration.

Next, adapting the drawer so that we can have a little space, which will also obscure the pipes a bit more. We have a plan. No rush.

So tired and sore, so much accumulated cleaning to do, laundry. Still have to dispose of the old sink and faucet. I'll call the re-use place later this week, and we'll try to offer it on gregs-list again, maybe for $1, and free. No nibbles yesterday, who knows why. You'd think, given how pricy this stuff is new, that a free working faucet and sink would be worth picking up for somebody. I'd rather not just break it up for lawn mosaic, but I will if I have to.

Update: guy came by to use it for a garage. Done and done.

Cats seemed to be having a really fun runaround this morning, madly chasing, taking turns, even running side by side. Eleanor is very good for Moby. We think we are a good home for her, as well. She seems happy and healthy, which is all we can say for certain.

Beautiful job, really stylish, bravo. and I love the plumbing puzzle, what a brilliant tool, and the lovely typology of the wrenches. Fantastic post!

Lucy,
Waterworks was a fun game, but not much help for figuring out a 3D reality. Although in looking for the photo above, I think there is a 3D computer version of the game.

Are those wrenches tools borrowed from the operating theatre?

Waterworks was a card game, had one as a kid. You built a pipe from spigot to drain, with a given number of pieces, causing leaks for other players, fixing your own. And you had a few wrench game pieces that could also be used to repair a leaky pipe.

I apologize, I thought it would be more well known.
