COLD DARK ROOM

[johnandjade]

Well, we're on to a new adventure. The plumber showed us where the pipe that ties our house into the main sewer line is broken. The fiberoptic cable line is hanging right next to it, and the phone company was in the area a few months back drilling holes and pulling the fiberoptic cables through. The plumber says the phone company almost certainly broke the pipe when they drilled, it just took a while to back up. That pipe also drains from our neighbor's house.
SO, now begins a game called "WHO WILL PAY FOR THE BROKEN PIPE?"
The plumber didn't try to repair it because it would cost us well over a thousand dollars, and someone else is at fault anyway.
Hubby called the water company, who supposedly sent a workman by. After the workman LEFT, is when he phoned us and said it was NOT on their side, so they aren't responsible.
Hubby then called the phone company and got the run-around for a while, but persevered and they're sending someone out tomorrow or the next day.
In the meantime, we CAN use our water, just don't overload the system and it shouldn't back up again.
Wish us luck!!!!!!

I have grown a few trays of weed mix but got a bit demoralised as took so long to grow and was devoured in minutes. I think need a lot of space to grow any sort of reasonable quantity. I decided was less effort to just use the local hedgerows..

I like how you think!

It may sound silly but after my very old tortoise died it was picking weeds that really made me decide to get another. I found it impossible to walk the dog every day without spying juicy weeds and thinking how much the tortoise would enjoy them!

This is not a money tree. It is an elephants foot tree.
