We purchased a new shower head/sprayer combo a week ago, I had the bright idea to install it before my shower this morning. Overall it works pretty good, I need to tighten one of the connections a little tighter, it drips...
A little while later Magic and Gordon got into a knock down drag out fight in the front yard. It was a pretty bad fight, Magic is blind so that didn't help either. We checked both dogs, they appear to be ok, no major damage we can see.
I was watching some Twilight zone while Rose went to feed the cats (food and litter box is in the basement) she came back up saying "there is s pipe leaking down cellar." Not the way either of us wanted to spend the day but...
Pipe Repair Saga...
- Checking out the leak I found there was a pinhole leak in a pipe under the 1st floor bathroom, a tiny leak (you almost couldn't see the water spraying out)
- Got the water shut off, opened the faucets to relieve the pressure.
- Off to the workshop to get some parts and tools.
- Couldn't use a temporary clamp I had used a couple years ago as the leak was between two connections.
- Ended up cutting several pipe connections, installed a new "Tee", a shutoff valve, a coupling, and a 5" piece of pipe, hit it with the torch and an hour later all was well.
Harley started pulling White Radio fence marker flags out of the ground today he brought several to the front porch this morning. Maybe he figures if the flags are gone the fence won't work!
Off to the store to pick up a New Years/Anniversary dinner, Hannaford wasn't as packed as I thought it would be. We got a Nice Eye Round and some new potatoes for Smashed potatoes we forgot to get dessert. Dinner was fantastic though!
Magic has an ear infection so we're putting drops in that this evening...
I checked my pipe repair, it's holding!
I can't wait for 2011!
So, how was your day?
