On Saturday evening, we decided to figure out what it was hiding. (Yeah, our social life isn't what it used to be!!!)
A little bit of sawing, and... not much to tell!
It did, indeed, hold the stack to the master bathroom, plus the hot & cold water pipes. But NO LEAKS! YAY!
In a sense, I'm a little sad there was nothing fun in there. But mostly I'm relieved that there isn't a disaster lurking within!
Mike now thinks the leak must be located in the foyer wall- which of course, doesn't have a handy access door. (It's located directly behind this wall & likely contains the stack to the kids' bathroom, plus the steam heating pipes).
He was just about to take the saw & open up the foyer wall, when I stopped him.
We have friends coming for a first visit to the house this week, and although I know they'd understand, I'd still rather not have a disaster greeting them at the front door!
We'll save it for another weekend...

Hi Amy, I just found your blog today and spent a very big portion of it reading about your fun (and not so fun) adventures of renovating your home. I've got to say, I love your blog (and your house)! You (guys) have done a marvelous job on it, and I'm incredibly amazed and inspired. Best of luck to your family on this ongoing project... and I'll definitely continue reading! :)
