This morning it was a quick stop at Lowe’s for some materials I forgot on my way to Tampa Bay country to work. I had four places to do plumbing work. The first place was to install new parts in the toilet and install a new water shutoff outside where the water comes to the house. After turning on the water to the house I checked the toilet and had a leak where the supply line attaches to the toilet. It turned out that the gasket was missing and was on the piece I took out. Then it was on to the next house to install a new outside water shutoff. When I went to do a test after the new install one of the coupling came apart. It was because I didn’t get the existing pipe cleaned well enough for the glue to adhere to the new pipe. Which was a big mistake on my part, lesson learned. I had two more places to do water shutoff but the thunder in the distance told me that I was done for the day. On the way home I drove through a hard rain storm. Cheri was busy with here Monday house work. She worked in her sewing room and now has the top of the quilt project done and now needs backing for it. She also went for visit next door to see Jean. We had a taco casserole for supper along with some chocolate chip cookies that Cheri made today. I checked the rain gauge and we received 1 ¾ inch. Thank you God for blessed day.
