hi Pauline to answer your question there is nothing wrong with copper pipes but what the picture doesn't show is that the shower is not straight it bends to much to the right so water gos everywhere. today has been a very cold and windy day so we haven't done much we went looking at houses in golden grove we saw a house in a perfect location the school was across the road it was safe for the kids to play out the only problem was the house was to small. tomorrow is a big day for us Greg starts work and it will be the first time i would have been alone with the kids since we have been here as i can't drive i will have to think of something to it is supposed to cold again tomorrow i think we will end up staying in making play dough what fun that will be
