Well, I have been to the creek house for a week. We had a lot of rain down there and the creek was overflowing but not too bad. The flooding was caused by Hurricane Alex and tropical depression 2. The water was fresh though so fishing wasn't good. Mostly it was hot and humid and the mosquitoes were plentiful. I returned home Saturday after our annual lot owners meeting which was mostly uneventful.
Last night Martha called me home from church with the announcement of "water, water everywhere" and she couldn't turn it off. By the time I got here she had figured out how and had it under control. It turned out that a compression fitting had rusted through on one of the bathroom sinks but that was no easy task to replace. The fitting had broken off right at the faucet connection and I could not get it out. These faucets are very old and no one had a new one. A plumbing supply store that I went to was able to remove the fitting and replace it and it's companion with new ones so the water is back and I think it will be good. We also had a leak in the kitchen sink drain and I was able to fix that as well.
I have also eaten well today. First there was a men's Bible Study and breakfast at a cafe in town and then HPU hosted a retirees luncheon and meeting of our retired employees assn.
All in all a very sucessful day.

At least you've managed to fix your plumbing, even if your fishing didn't go that well. This is why it's recommended to have regular check-up and maintenance for your plumbing, especially if the house you've been living is older than a decade already. Make sure you hire professional plumbing contractors to regularly maintain your plumbing.

And with the rain and hurricane comes the plumbing woes! I’m glad your mother managed to get it under control. Though I still imagine how pretty messy the scenario was with water gushing everywhere. The best way to beat these woes is to be prepared. Get your piping system checked before the rainy season comes in. Monica @ Village Plumbing & Home Services
That sounds awful! As if the hurricane itself isn’t enough, you’ve got to deal with its messy consequences. I hope the water damage didn’t leave a permanent effect in your plumbing structure. Good day!
