Trust him; he’s a lawyer

When The Gimlet isn’t swanning around “business conferences” with the (tax) posse, he can often be found in the basement, contemplating his latest project: re-plumbing the house.
Last year, thanks to the impending arrival of Thing Two, we bought our first home. It’s about fifty years old and as such, a fixer-upper. The Gimlet plans to replace our mostly galvanized pipes with PEX (cross-linked polyethylene tubing). Last week he successfully attached the Manabloc (modular manifold plumbing system) to a basement wall, so it’s all set to attach the various pipes.
It seems like it might be worth recording whether The Gimlet will successfully replace the plumbing in his house in a timely and cost-effective manner … and without calling in an emergency plumber … so stay tuned.
Oh, and Thing One has watched The Incredibles enough times to know what’s really going on when Daddy travels to a remote tropical island for a “conference”.
