OH! The Drama

Seems as if I have spent the better part of this year putting out one dramatic fire after another, but I must say that my resolve has been thoroughly tested in since July 2009.  It has been a back to back stream of issues that had the potential to drive me insane.

Just when it seemed as if everything was under as much control as possible, another shoe dropped.  We have a leak!  Yes water is leaking... the arrow on the water meter was spinning fast even though no one in the house was using water.  The bad news is that this has resulted in a $245 water bill, the good news is that the leak is NOT in the house (phew)!  It was strategically hidden slightly under ground at an outdoor faucet.  Even though the ground appeared to be intact and dry, we discovered that once the top soil was disturbed, it fell away and revealed a large puddle... like a mini-sinkhole.

Oh well, at least it can be fixed without the need for a plumber.
