It’s miraculous, the way the water flows into the pipe and from the mouth of the faucet, summoned by a twist of the hand. A crude drain exited from the side of the house into the dirt.īut there’s always a moment when turning on a spigot after a renovation. The only plumbing was in the bathroom and the rinse tanks: two big concrete boxes outside on the porch plugged with sections of PVC pipe. No screens on the windows, no curtains, no screen on the sliding door. No heater for the shower, and a shower drain that didn’t work, so no shower. There was no furniture, no kitchen sink, no fridge, no stove top, no washer, running water only in bathroom and the rinse tanks outside on the porch. Though it had been suggested by many that we find a hotel until Monday, we didn’t, because I knew that roughing it would force us to faster action. The first day in our house was really kamikaze house-finishing at its best.
