Ah, but you need to use the right set of plans: not the original `planned'
plans, but the current `this is the way it really is' plans, which are
probably only half as out of date.

In any case, I was partly kidding (the description was `old pipes',
and old enough pipes tend not to be on the plans, if there are plans
at all!...).

On a more serious note: people put pipes where it makes the most sense
to put them.  Since you probably have at least a very similar idea about
what makes sense, you probably have a good idea where the pipes were
put in the first place.  You may not know that you know it, of course.
