Alan,
Actually a wet towel went into the bucket. Paranoid thought he had capped the water line, but it had small leak.

So, when he turned the water back on, it sprayed everywhere, LOL!!

He's got it mastered now, and all the plumbing is relocated. Today he is going to have fun with electrical and then the ever dreaded drywall.
Jenny,
Thanks for the support. I know my hubby has been working really hard on the house

and I appreciate everything he does.

I also know how bad he wants to work on his truck. When he pulled the truck around the front of the house, he lifted the floor mats up and found the floor had completely rusted out.

He was depressed for days because he had let his baby deteriorate. He didn't have much choice though, since we don't have a garage and limited funds.
I see you live in the part of Texas that gets snow. We are planning on moving to San Antonio. My family lives there, and I was born there. I miss it, and cannot wait to move back to good ole SA.
