Ah Miami.... There's nothing nicer than being sent to Florida in January, when Boston is getting hammered by snow. But I learned all too well how cold it really was when I got back. I walked into my kitchen to be greeted by a raining ceiling. A burst pipe upstairs was the problem. The whole house was an ice-cube, even the toilet water was solid ice - luckily I spotted that before I went!

And so begin the bathroom renovations....

The pic above is after I've demo'd part of the bathroom. There once stood a toilet and a sink here. All the plumbing is cast iron and metal, with some shoddy copper work.
