Christmas eve water leak [View all]

poor Mr. Ketchup spent time yesterday in the mud and snow replacing a cap on an abandoned water line under the house. We knew we had trouble when I noticed about a week ago that under the cabinet felt like a sauna.

We also had a leak in the sink drain, so we ended up pulling the sink, repairing the loose tiles, got a new faucet and did the repair and reset the sink.

ahhh.... the plumbing Christmas, what's not to love ??

We now have a back up cap for the danged pex stuff, we almost didn't get out of the driveway yesterday for the parts run due to the almost 10" of snow we got here in our desert home.


the joys of home ownership eh??
