The tub's farewell

(1962 February?)

The minute we got in the house after taking our girls to Madison, I started in making beds and making the upstairs presentable so the plumbers wouldn't be shocked. At 8 a.m. today I emptied the bathroon and about 8:30 Klenzings came and carried out all the old fixtures. The trap under the floor of the tub was broken. Not too bad after all. It took 3 strong men to carry out the old tub, straining like ancient Egyptians. It played one more dirty trick on me, that old trap. I was standing by the front door and got drenched, I hope for the last time! Ran for old dishpan.
