Gus and Jim were back to do some work. And though they’re not plumber’s they helped us fix a plumbing problem. We’ve had water pressure issues for a while, and that morning the water pressure was so bad we had trouble getting the soap off our bodies. This was worse than hotel water pressure!

This is the water pressure we got on the “massage” setting. When we raised the issue some weeks ago, the plumber thought we could take out the anti-scalding device to fix the problem. After asking about going into the shower head to take out a gasket he said “they make it so you can’t do that anymore.”

Jim took off the shower head and voila – off came this little devil piece. Look at the hole our water had to squeeze through! We threw that right on in the trash, and oh my god I can actually wash the shampoo out of my hair again!

Gus and Jim installed the shelves for the bathroom built-in, finished the top off with some crown molding, and put some wood on the floor so that we won’t have to put things on the dirty unfinished hardwood that were there before. Now it looks more matching.

They also put little window ceils in the laundry room.

And built us a nice shelf by the washer and dryer, measured and fit perfectly for our Sam’s Club sized laundry detergent.
