What a Monday!!!

Here was the hole they had to jackhammer!! A tiny pin-sized hole in a copper pipe under the floor - and all this mess (and expense!)




What a day!!! I'll keep this very brief, but it was a crazy morning!! On my way home from the Y this morning, the plumber called and said he could be on his way over to fix a leaky pipe that was discovered under the house. So we raced home, got a QUICK shower, called Jayne to see if we could come hide out over there, packed the kids up, and off we went!! We had to be gone while they were working all day over here - jack hammers, concrete, etc, etc. Everything has been somewhat restored now - at least the pipe was replaced and our water meter has stopped running! I'll be taking a copy of the repair bills to City Hall tomorrow to have our water bills adjusted, but what a day!!



A BIG thank you to Jayne and Grayson who let us crash their day! The kids had a BLAST - they enjoyed Mickey Mouse clubhouse toys most of the day and Josiah loved some new games (love those consignment sale games!) What fun - the boys thought it was the best day ever - playing with Grayson, Wendy's for lunch, seeing a jackhammer in the plumber's truck, wet concrete in the house - what could be better, right?

Oh I'm so sorry you had to go thru that mess. I'm glad that Jayne was available for you in a pinch. That's part of what friends are for.

Glad you called and came over. The boys did have such fun. Grayson has enjoyed playing with toys that sometimes he forgets that he has stashed in his room!! They played great together, except of course for Grayson's inabilitiy to share his toys and his 2 meltdowns. By the way, he was in bed fast asleep before 7:00pm!! NO SURPRISE RIGHT!!??
