What's that???

First, Thank YOU again sweet blogging friends for all your sweet comments, prayers & thoughts....it truly warms our heart...and I'm pretty sure it is helping speed up my Mr.'s recovery!!!

Well, life definitely is never dull here...a few weeks ago, I notice the cabinet doors to underneath my sink were not closing all the way...Mmmmm...we do live in an old house, maybe it's settling??? OR maybe it's the moisture from the drying towel I keep on a rack on the door???

Next, I find a puddle of coffee on the floor under the door...our coffee pot sits directly above, next to the sink...(and, sometimes, my sweet husband can't pour straight into his coffee cup :D)...I clean it up..and every day it seems to reappear???

Finally, yesterday morning...I realize since the whole staph infection ordeal..I've been the one pouring the coffee..and I KNOW I didn't spill??? I wipe up the coffee colored puddle and look inside the doors...Mmmm...I don't feel anything, but along the edge of the cupboard feels wet...Somehow I got sidetracked...and again last night after doing my dishes decided maybe I should further inspect...Guess what I found....sure enough there was a leak...I took everything out (all the things one stores under the sink...cleaners, bug spray, old vases, etc. :D) and underneath the shelf liner it is totally wet...take that layer off, more wetness...another layer and now I'm down to the wood....Uh, OH!!! I can feel the cold water pipe has water dripping down it...but where is it coming from...???? An hour later, after checking under the house, waiting & watching...I find that it's the upper joint of the copper pipe....THE REAL PROBLEM is our house is OLD..and there is NO shut-off valve....other than turning off the whole house water, there's nothing to do, but wait until the next day to call a plumber. That would be Saturday, today :D Why, oh why do major things like that always happen on a weekend????

Thankfully, I called Mr. Rooter and they sent out a plumber from the Tri-Cities...poor Mr. PPRM had to be the one to help him because I was gone to a funeral. When I got home, the leak was fixed, there are now turn-off valves under the sink to both the hot & cold water...and it only cost $283.17!!! (Much better than the $800 I was invisioning!!!) So, another problem solved...and even though he's still not up to par, my MR. even put our little heater fan under it too help dry it out (Don't worry, I'm paranoid about fire...so we WILL watch it..and turn it off before we go to bed :D)

So, that was our Saturday fun...hoping and praying that tomorrow brings a quiet day...to just worship our Lord, rest & catch-up! Hope all of you had a great day..and that you didn't have to answer any "what's that" mysteries.....Sweet blessings!
