Repair of the leaking pipe is complicated by the pipe's location between a wall and the main heating system ducts. The plumber yesterday was able to patch it, but will be back tomorrow to do a permanent repair. One end of the pipe can be accessed from the furnace room, but the best access for the other end is in the adjacent corner of the next room, an unfinished space of the house we call the "box room."
When we moved in almost 10 years ago, the "box room" was the place we neatly stacked boxes that we didn't want to immediately unpack. Most of those are still where we put them, then.
In the ensuing time, the "box room" has filled to capacity, with boxes from computers and appliances, trumpets and other assorted things. This evening I moved some of the empty boxes out to another room to make some temporary space, and we could then move a couple of stacks of boxes out of the corner to give the plumber good access.
Once the pipe is repaired and the "box room" can be rearranged, I think there will be at least a little bit of ridding out, which is long overdue.
