Shh-hh...
Baby sleeping
My parents came over today. Yesterday we noticed that our outside water spicket was not working and John found that it was broken within the wall. Fortunately, it had broken when the water was off, otherwise we would have had a major water leak. Of course, because our house is old, nothing is easy to fix. We had to cut the wall open and try to figure out how to get at the valve to replace the part. My dad offered to come over and work on it today, which I think John was relieved to hear. I know he could have done the job, but it was in a tricky location, and not something he does on a regular basis. Within a couple of hours, my dad replaced and fixed what needed to be done. Now we just need to patch the drywall and repaint that section of the wall. It was a pain to have to do this now, and annoying that this happened, but we are having our patio redone next week, so having a working hose in the back is necessary for the workers. Better to have found out this needed fixing this weekend rather than right before work started in the yard.
