Gossips Doll legs. She can stand by herself because of the copper pipe in her legs. Part of the Leslie Molen "Gossips Doll" workshop held at the now defunct Doll U in 2007 at Seattle.
PETER MCBRIDE, working for Heateam in east London, came across this installation in a restaurant. Two so-called engineers had attended this in the two weeks before his visit, and both had left the system running. The copper condensate pipe run had become blocked at some stage and filled the boiler with corrosive water, damaging the inside of the boiler, particularly the burner. According to the owner, the boiler would work for a very limited time after he had reset the system and then lock out again with an error code indicated an ignition problem. The boiler was labelled ‘Immediately Dangerous’ and the gas supply was capped.
New shiny copper pipes are so much better than old rusty pipes.

BACKSTORY: When we moved into our house, it did not have a real shower in the main bathroom. Just the special diverter-style bathtub spout that lets you attach a shower hose. It has new problems that creep up every couple of years--we're on the 3rd or 4th bathtub spout and had plumbing work done by LiveGreen Plumbing which completely failed to stop the leaking.
A decade or so ago, we replaced the diverter-attached shower head with a double shower so we can both have separate water when we shower together. It was rigged up with waterproof tape because plastic threading isn't really waterproof. It also didn't fit on the wall well, so a washcloth wedged into a hook was holding it up. It hung very low, so that we'd both have to stoop in order to wash out our hair. When 6'-tall Andrea lived with us, showering was a particular challenge for her, because of her height & back problems. The shower hose had just recently broke in such a way that it wouldn't stay screwed into the bathtub spout diverter, and kept flying out mid-shower, in a way that only Clint seemed to be able to fix. So we decided to just go ahead and have a real shower installed instead, because of Andrea's problems, but also because this was something we should have done years ago. New plumbing was cut and soldered onto the existing plumbing, extending the water supply to shower-head height. A mixing valve was added, so we could now turn on the water without having to bend down. The cost was a mere $600, with parts being more than the labor. We still need to replace the shower head with a double shower again, but we got him to install the head higher up so that neither of us have to stoop...Not even tall Andrea! Andrea is gone, but the home improvements she helped catalyze will remain with us.
Last test fitting and then it is off tfor me to file and sand and then paint flat black. I know not as hi tech as some of them out there but it works for me, it was cheap and I made it!

Sooooo many USB ports! Clint's computer alone has 3 hubs, and Carolyn's has one hub. Apparently, you can't have too many spare USB ports. 16 wasn't enough. Now Clint's computer has 23.
You can see the shrine we have for Andrea on the shelf. It keeps growing as we find more of her stuff.
USB cables, USB ports, bobcat skull, cinder blocks, copper pipe, doily, hubs USB hardware, necklaces, painted rock, shelf, shrine.

This more for my own referance as to when it was installed. A Labor Day project, not the most fun you can have in a day, but at least it is done. Now I can go get on the mountain bike or something.
