I went in the laundry room the day before wondering why there was so much water on the floor.
It was running through a wall.
I went to the back room to discover the water in the laundry room was nothing compared to the water on the floor in the back basement room, where the Internet modem is, along with numerous boxes and bins, old computer modems and old electronics. What a pain!
All those boxes and bins standing in 2 to three inches of water.
I mopped and mopped.
I finally had hubby turn off the water to see if it was leaky walls or a leaking pipe.
I phoned the plumber to see if they could squeeze me in on Friday.
They could not.
I spent hours and hours with hubby clearing out that wet storage room.
In desperation, I called the plumber again for a referral. He graciously obliged me with a referral.

He spotted the problem after awhile.
It turns the problem was pipe in the wall, where we had installed an outdoor faucet for the garden hose, had burst in winter. Never leave the water hose on in the freezing weather!
He replaced the pipe and so far all is well.
A replacement pipe.
Hopefully the problem is solved now.
It looks that way.
I’m very grateful for our local plumber’s referral, and the freelance plumber who was available yesterday to come over, spot and solve our problem!
Like Shakespeare says, “All’s well that ends well!
I still view them now and then to catch a glimpse of our sweet dogs Cole and Pixie who sometimes appear in them.
Pixie and Cole
I still feel so much sadness over their deaths.
Happily, they both each lived to be about 17! Pixie, the Pomeranian lived to be 16 years and 8 months and Cole the Poodle, lived to be 17 years and one month.
I wish they were still alive. Their lives were too short in my books, even though in dog years, they would each be over 100!
At Cafe Lena
In 2013, we fulfilled a lifelong dream of my husband’s, to perform at Cafe Lena in Saratoga Springs, NY.
