After a week with no facilities, it looks like we're back "online" so to speak. Dad replaced the sewer line in the backyard a while ago, but he only made it as far as halfway through the lawn. It seems the rest of the line finally decided to quit on us. We had to have the rest of it replaced this week. We still have a huge trench in our backyard but the plumbers are supposed to fill that in tomorrow after the cuty inspector comes to lay his hands on it and bless it or whatever city inspectors do to sewer lines. Likely give it a cursory glance and sign something in triplicate.
Unfortunately it's one more thing to sap the bank account this summer! Besides moving expenses at the beginning of the summer and all the usual expenses involved with a 10-year-old girl who likes cheerleading, we've had two pets ill, and a car with a bum starter to fix in the past two months! Needless to say, we're glad the summer's almost over! Hopefully everything will be settling down soon.
And with less excitement - maybe there will be more time to update the blog! And I encourage everyone else to do the same!
