Plumbing, La plomberie, La plomeria

Aburrido! Boring!
It doesn't matter what language you use, Chulita and I can agree that most of it is pretty boring! Nothing but pipes and ventilation. By the way, did you know that there was ventilation in plumbing?? I am learning so much more about plumbing than I ever thought I would. There are different colors and tubing for cold and hot water and ventilation. For more detailed info on plumbing ventilation, click on the link.
I have included a few pictures of the plumbing so you can see just how exciting it is. Actually, in many ways it is very cool since it marks a key turning point in the construction schedule. Now, the house is ready for the drywall.

 While most of the above pics are less than thrilling, the most exciting part of the day came when RONA delivered my beautiful bathtub. The brand of bathtub is Oceania and it is made right here in Quebec, about 200 km away from Sutton. It is simple and elegant. I can't wait to be able to take a bath on a cold winters day and see the snow covered trees in the window.
