Water Works

Forgive me, this is, at this point, the only excitement in my life...oh and an opportunity to take pictures not involving me (well maybe my toes but that's it).

So I expect the water bill will be quite high at home this next month... Seems I discovered a leak. Thursday I noticed a puddle outside where there had never been one, not even on the rainiest of days and I traced it to a slowly trickling stream come out of my mom's front flower garden. As this leak was nowhere near the hose I decided I should call my mom. Well the plumber finally came out and said that we did indeed have a leak. My mom and step dad have dug a huge hole, the city has shut off our water (I miss our water already), and we've found the line... Now, to dig more, turn our water back on and find the damn leak.

Pictures...




I'll tell you, I think it's a damn good thing I found it, it might have gone on unnoticed because my mom and step dad don't use the front door, they go in and out through the garage usually. I'm not even a hundred percent certain of why I actually noticed the puddle. I mean sure, it was abnormal, but how many things do we overlook in our day to day lives? Eh, attention to detail perhaps, or just a subtle change in my world but a change nonetheless and I'm not one to like too much change lol.

Guess it's a good thing I'm going camping this weekend, won't have to worry about trying to use the sink and stuff much like you attempt to turn on the lights when the power has gone out.

Hope everyone stays safe this weekend, pray we get very little rain here in the great northwest please and thank you.
