The Craziness Begins!

It's 7:30 am and the craziness has already began! I hear
Mike outside on the excavator. The waterlines saga is
about to start.

For some unknown, mysterious reason our waterlines
from our water meter to our house has sprang numerous
leaks. In about two weeks we've used over 70,000
gallons of water according to the meter. Believe me, I
sure didn't do that much laundry!

Right now it's so hard to tell exactly where the leaks are
because the ground is just squishy wet from all the rain
and melting snow we've had. And I truly hope all that
slushiness isn't caused from leaks!

We were going to contract the city to fix our lines, but
at the last minute the maintenance worker hurt his
back and can't do it. So Mike borrowed equipment
from work and is going to do the work himself.
Yesterday evening he came home in a dump truck
pulling a trailer with an excavator on it. He will dig
up the lines and we will replace them.

We have to go to Salem this morning and get all the
supplies he will need.... I wonder what we will
forget! It's a 30 mile trip so I'm hoping, crossing
my fingers, we get it all the first go around. lol

I know in reason my yard will be a complete mess
when this is all done.... not to mention the
condition of my floors in the house from us tracking
in and out. Jaylan is here already and Honey
Wayne will be here later today to see Papaw use
the equipment. Honey Wayne is mesmerized by
big equipment.

Now to top it all off... when I got out of bed a while
ago..... IT'S SPITTING SNOW!! Can you believe it?
Yesterday the sun was shining so brightly and the
temp. was so nice. Oh well, just our luck.

Ok... gotta get in the shower before Hubby Man
breaks a waterline and I have no water at all!! LOL
