Yesterdays Work

It's 16° outside now but will be in the mid 50s later. The important thing is it's warm inside, I have a working coffee maker, and delicious coffee from Mojo Coffee here in Winslow.

Plumbing
With a lot of grinding and guessing we have all our faucets working properly. I'm not too excited about the finish I chose for handles but they're working and the stems will now accept any handle from "Made in USA" California Faucets. 
Antique fixtures are a challenge, but after countless hours of effort...water runs and stops.
