Forensic photographer

C. made the expedition into the crawlspace, and came back with excellent photos. I think she has a future in the business. (Is there a business in crawl-space plumbing photography?)

That little spoot there is keeping the kitchen hot-water volume way down and the dishwasher from doing a decent job. You can see the pipe is soldered three-quarter-inch copper and the leak is in the valve.

Below, what the trendy forensic photographer is wearing these days: 200-lumen headlamp, dust mask for ultra-fine dirt and asbestos, doo rag to keep spidey out of hair, and copious fine dirt from wallowing around down there.
