Can't Believe It But We've Sprung Another Leak!
No picture---nothing exciting about a whole cut out of the wall and brand new pipe fittings! Saturday afternoon Gary came running into the kitchen (from the garage) and made a sharp right turn into the little "powder room" off the kitchen. I thought he must have a case of the runs or something because he was in such a big hurry. Turns out he had noticed a puddle of water forming on the floor in the back of the garage and was smart enough to figure out it was in perfect alignment with the toilet on the other side of that wall! Sure enough, another pipe had sprung a leak and was sending water through both sides of the wall. Why do these things have to happen on the weekend when it costs an extra $150.00 just to have the plumber leave his house on his day off? Needless to say, we made it through the weekend with no runnning water. Actually, I'm counting my blessings because we were home and discovered the problem immediately. I cringe to think of the damage that little leak would have caused if it had been allowed to sprinkle forth all day or heaven forbid all week if we had been on vacation. NOTE TO SELF: Always shut off the water to the house when leaving for a weekend.
