We have been home doing chores and trying to avoid the heat. Yesterday, Tom completely took apart the toilet in the guest bath. We had a very small leak from the tank to the bowl and he decided to repair it and everything else, all at the same time. The toilet was completely apart and there was just a gaping hole in the floor. I would have taken a picture, but we were both afraid it would always look that way if I did. Suffice to say everything is back together working normally and there are no leaks! But as you can see it kind of exhausted him.
I wanted to add my thanks again to all of you for your condolences on Hercules. We have saved all the cards and have placed them on the table for now, alongside his ashes until we figure out the next step.
We are lucky to have our neighborhood Rent-A-Dog, Rosebud, with us for a couple of days. She belongs to the neighbors across the street, but thinks of us as her third home, with more toys. It is nice to have a critter around again, especially one as smart as this. Here she is playing camouflage dog on the blanket and pretending to sleep. Notice the fully alert eyes, however.....she tracks every single move I make, waiting for an instruction.
Next project will likely be re-doing the backyard landscaping, starting with a replacement drip system since the first one is around 10 years old, hardened and weathered beyond patching. But with this weather, one can only work outside between 5-7am and maybe 7-8 pm. I will keep you updated on our progress.
