Yesterday we had the plumbers round to install new showers fittings in our bathrooms. One hasn’t worked properly for years and the fitting for the other was hanging on to the wall with duct tape, so we decided it was finally time to get some proper showers installed. This sketch is of all the taps, hoses, and bits and pieces the plumbers left behind.

Today I spent a lot of my time struggling to change the trap on our bathroom sink, only to find we will have to call in a plumber to do some more substantial work. I do dislike doing plumbing work, but at least it gave me a few bits and pieces to sketch.

After I installed our new kitchen tap I thought I’d sketch our old one before it gets chucked out (no doubt someone will pick it up from the sorted trash and recycle it). I couldn’t get my sketch to fit on the page though – that’s a problem I often have…kind of makes it look more abstract though!

Our kitchen tap has given up – it’s corroded and is dripping all the time (despite my several feeble attempts at fixing it and finding a washer to replace). So it’s time to install this new one (which turned out to be quite a bit bigger than the old one – my fault for not measuring up before shopping)…but of course sketching comes before plumbing.
