“uncle brian clothes off.”
Uncle Brian came over today to help us install (he did most of the work) a new 3-handle shower valve, taps, showerhead, etc. Goodbye leaky faucet and shower powerful enough to tear an unsuspecting guest’s skin off (sorry, Jill); hello, smooth operating taps made of modern, maintainable components (I once repaired the previous (long-since discontinued) handles by wrapping the valve stems tightly with aluminum foil and then banging the porcelain cross handles on with a rubber mallet).
Anyway, Nora was very excited to have Uncle Brian over for breakfast and when he went upstairs and she heard the shower come on she matter-of-factly announced that “uncle brian clothes off. uncle brian clothes off, mommy. uncle brian clothes off!” This, presumably, was a warning.
Amazingly, our one day home renovation project involving plumbing, minor carpentry, and tile modifications took us … one day! Honestly, the hardest part of the entire project was the decision to reuse our vintage, original tub spout.
