The castle moat is drained. Swimming pool guy drained it yesterday. Now he'll hook up a pressure something or other to the water pipes, to see if that's where the leak is.
Next week, he'll repair the leak, then replaster the whole thing. Then we'll spend a week or so filling the pool back up. That's not a water bill I want, but it's not going to rain enough to fill it.
Meanwhile, we're still waiting on the plumbers to clear the backlog of damage from the cold snaps, before they can come and figure out why the less than two years old water heater in the hall bath is no longer putting out hot water, merely body temperature water. Since it's the only bathroom with a tub, Short Friend's not going to be lounging in a bath anytime soon.
It's another lovely 70 degree day, a couple degrees warmer than normal. Spotacus spent all morning checking out various changes to the yard after the pool drained (13000+ gallons of water flowing downhill into the meadow definitely watered that area).
Hmm, my eyes are all goopy. Gotta go rinse them. Later, y'all.
