     Fortunately for me the pipes are all there; all I have to have done is to uncap one length of pipe and reconnect it to the section that continues on to the kitchen.  Would it be a plumber I call, though?  I must admit I tend to think of them in terms of water-carrying pipes, and not other stuff.

     Upstate New York.  As for the weather, take your pick; you never know how warm it's going to get from one summer to the next (or how cold and snowy the winter).  That said, it can get warm in the kitchen, which does sometimes have an effect on what I eat.  It's just not something I had considered - - that's just the way kitchens are, isn't it?  :-)
