When I was a wee lad, we lived in a house with a septic tank of dubious value. This meant that bathing was done in a tub (sometimes shared with a brother) filled to 4" of tepid water (why waste hot water on children?) and hair was washed by using a pot to pour the water over one's head. Or, if not bath night, at the kitchen sink.<br /><br />I have done some plumbing. Even installed a garbage disposal (where none was before) and replaced a toilet. I would much rather pay someone else to do those things now.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752593286034877538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-82487139619055282712009-11-15T07:31:22.190-08:002009-11-15T07:31:22.190-08:00my wife always gets really excited about things li...my wife always gets really excited about things like new fixtures, me not so much.
