First fix

The last walk thru someone wise put a bucket under the dripping back faucet...
the next day it was over flowing.
The next day we emptied it 2x.
The next day we emptied it 2x.
The next day we emptied it 2x.
The next day we emptied it 2x.
The next day we emptied it 2x.
The next day we emptied it 2x.
The next day we emptied it 2x.
That was not a mistake--we emptied it 2x every day til we moved in.
69 cents...saved us from having a swimming pool under our patio
Travis is forever my hero... I told him not to bother with it that day... I mean we had JUST loaded and unloaded a 24ft truck and hadnt eaten lunch yet.
But like he ever listens to me.
Maybe this picture explains why the seller didnt fix it. You cant even see the faucet
Here it is drip drip dripping.


And the magic bucket.
After it was done, the moving party sat and watched the remaining drips.
Imagine 5 adults watching a faucet drip. for over 5 minutes.
First 1 sec apart.
Then 3..
then 5 seconds, 7 seconds, 13 seconds, 30 seconds!!! Wooot.
And we continued to watch...
1 minute... 2 minutes...5 minutes..
and here we lost interest.
Travis is amazing!
