Last week I noticed a leak in the plumbing in the walls. It was a loud tap, tap sound and I heard it while washing some laundry in the sink upstairs. I went downstairs to the bathroom right under the top floor and the tapping was louder, then I noticed that the repatched walls of the Copper Repiping job that was done last Sept was starting get wet! So I quickly notified Tim, who was definitely upset about it. Long story short, the leak caused the walls to get wet, which the Repipers opened up to fix the leak, and the water made it's way under the carpet!!! So we decided to used Rubbing Alcohol on the wet spot and turn 2 fans directly onto the wet spots after Tim sopped up what he could. Alcohol evaporates quickly, and it also disinfects so we thought that it would prevent mildew. Soooo the set back is our electic bill. With the fans running all day and all night, we think the bill will be a whopper... sigh... Thank God the leak was the fault of the copper pipes, the Repiper told us that if it wasn't their own pipes we would have to pay him to fix everything!
The next sad set back is that either the phone or electric company stamped all over my bush bean and blackberry plant! They kill the bush bean completely and the blackberry was an offshoot of the mother plant I was trying to get to root, but R.I.P. I'm sooo upset that they are so careless. Couldn't they tell it's a plant??? They trampled right next to my pole bean and compacted the soil too.... sigh.... I'll have pictures later of my damages. Maybe I ought to call them and complain... but I don't know which company came. We have 2 telephone poles on our property, and it is lame... I think I might make a large sign and post it on the poles. "You will be liable to damages caused to Garden Plants" What do you think? When you grow a plant from seed, it's like a baby... I know it's silly, but it takes a lot of effort to tend to them to make sure they get well established. Poor Bush Bean... may it rest in peace.... it had one little baby bean growing on it too....
