Humanize the Earth!

important stuff is hidden

This weekend I took a hammer and punched some holes in my bathroom walls. Then I punched some more and made them big enough to see where the plumbing and electrical was behind those walls. We’re renovating so will be removing some of these walls anyway and wanted to see what was in there to assess our possibilities. I don’t understand much about plumbing. After seeing in there, I still don’t understand much. And now I know how little I know. There are 1/2 inch copper pipes feeding the sink, for example. One of them runs both up and down from the point where it goes into the sink. The down branch runs close to the floor and then seemingly around the tub, maybe to hook up with the hot water supply over there? The cold one going down is capped. Going up, it seems to go into the ceiling.

So anyway, it got me to thinking about how much of the time in life we live with just what we see on the surface, never really understanding what’s going on behind the drywall, so to speak. Profound, huh? :-)
