TODAY!

So while I've been inside & in the cool updating this here blog, the hubby has been outside working his bum off in the heat.

For a few months now our water bill has been steadily crawling up - even before it was one hundred & eleventy degrees outside. We knew we had a leak somewhere because of the water bill & the loss of water pressure in the house, but unfortunately there was no way to find out where it was without digging up the entire yard. We decided not to water the grass for a few days & see what happened.

This is what we found:

Notice the grass where the flags are is a lot greener & taller than the rest? It's obviously benefiting from our leaky pipe!

The search begins ...
and Eric nearly passes out in the 100 degree heat
There it is!!
Eric & Manuel relax a bit while the cement stuff dries.
Percy stands guard ...
All fixed! Yay for handy hubbies & helpful neighbors!!

I can't wait to see our water bill next month! Hopefully
we'll see a big drop in usage!
