Max and his way of helping!


It was another LONG, HOT day on the lawn project. Much of it took place near this partial wall on the pump house since that is where the sprinkler and the water for the house hooks in. We now have running water in the house again! Yea!
We are hooked in to the well. I had to make three trips to Sulpher Springs today- 25miles away...reasons- too long- Lowes fault! When I asked the Manager WHAT he was going to do about it being their fault he said, "What do you think I should do?" That surprised me...we settled on 10% of the bill which would pay for my gas. I told him I had also lost vaulable WORK time!!! He wasn't buying a lot of that. We have about 1/4 of the system done...lots to do. We started at 7 a.m. this morning which really helped- then took the hot afternoon off.

Max, our grand-dog-whom we are dog-sitting while his family lounges of the beaches of Florida- managed to carry off several parts to the sprinkler system- we found them down the driveway- he carried off one part we needed tonight and we never found it. THat made for the 3rd trip to SS today. Got to love the grand-dog!
What's this??? Dave taking up a new musical instrument???? No, that would be Dave blowing out the dirt in the toilet float thingy- dirt that got in there while we were laying pipe and thus...no toilet flushing at first! But...my husband can fix most anything and he came to our rescue and had it working in no time.

So glad you have your water back on! Good for you for talking to the manager at Lowe's. 10% off is better than nothing! Have fun today working on the sprinkler system!
