Post for Saturday – Sept 29, 2012
Got a call around noon from the plumber that he was on his way. He repaired the leaking sink in the back bathroom as well as part of the guts of the toilet (I wanted him to replace the whole darn thing).
However he could not fix the leaking tub fixture because he was unable to find the cartridge after having assured me that he had ordered an extra one the last time she had the same issue. He will have to special order it Monday.
I really hate to waste water specially since it is around 18 gallons a day, but I am running out of containers and five gallon buckets. In the past I would water the trees and plants but no sense doing that with all the precipitation we have had lately.
Not something worth posting about but as you know this is also my cyber journal and I need to know how long it will be before it once again starts leaking.
On a positive note, I learned how to close the water at the meter box and I am going to buy me the tool to do it in case we ever have a need for it. I know it would have come in handy last year in Houston when we had that terrible cold spell and I was worried my pipes had busted.
Tonight I was watching the evening news when I fell asleep. Mother woke me up to remind me to check my e-mails but I was too tired to go online and try fighting with my internet connection so I also missed making my post.
