a LONG day

After exposing this plumbing (wasn't he sweet to make it a heart?),

the water was turned off for "just a few hours."

The washer and dryer were moved out, preparing for rerouting the washer plumbing to NEW plumbing!
With some help from brother Jeff's concrete drill, MORE floor was destroyed, I mean, removed...

And several hours, a few leaks, a replaced outdoor faucet, and SIX trips to Lowe's later...

the plumbing was in place and working!! 

And the water is back on!
