The Water-Leak Blues

34

That's right folks.  We had a huge water leak -- to the tune of 1500 gallons a day -- that's over 48,000 gallons a month.  And we've got the water bill to prove it.  All of it was seeping (pouring) straight down through the soil, so there was no evidence.  If it had been inside, we would have found it sooner, because whatever wall or floor was hiding it would have caved in.  But, no, it was located 4 feet under clay and rock right outside our door.

The hubbster went on a super-sleuthing mission and managed to narrow down our friendly leak's location.  Then he got to work with a shovel and a pick axe.  In 100 degree heat.  We girls were sympathetic.  This is what we did:


And we didn't just watch.  Occasionally we flexed our muscles by bringing out a glass of ice-water. 

Ahhh, it's good to be a girl...
