I am quickly learning that there is always something with a construction project. Yesterday we had a gas leak underground which prompted a quick call to the Excel Big Wigs. It was a relatively easy fix and it solved the question of the mysterious gas smell that we've had for a while. When we went downstairs to re-light the pilot light on the water heater we found water in the pan. I thought that was OK, maybe just the overflow??? Good thing I'm not in charge, because apparently it isn't. Our "Cadillac" of water heaters has a flat tire! It's only three years old, so it's under warranty and Total Plumbing is out here for the day replacing it.
We are also drilling for the piers (foundation) today, so once again we have a big drill rig machine in our backyard and lots of noise. When they connected their hose to our house for some special concrete saw, they chose to use the hose bib that is broken (oops we forgot to mention that to our superintendent, Paul) and water quickly started pouring into the basement pantry room through the wall. It was a race to round up enough towels and I broke my cardinal rule of only using 'garage' towels for spills. We didn't have enough so I started using the guest towels - sorry guests!
