Hi,

This is related to the earlier post where I was asking about replacing
valves on my water supply line. Here's a picture of what that area
looks like:

I know what the #4 copper wire is for, but what the heck is that ugly

Many thanks in advance,

box to cover it. Or do like architechts do: plant ivy.
