On the home front here at Doright Manor we have air conditioning once again. The service man was quick, courteous, and properly covered for the times in which we live. Face mask and gloves, no-contact payment. I was impressed.
A pair of plumbers came all the way from Gainesville, FL, a two and a half hour drive, to map out the layout of our water pipes in order to locate the source of the leak and write up a plan to address the situation. They, too, wore masks and gloves. Their fix isn’t going to be as clean and quick as the air conditioning repair work was, but at least we’re moving in the right direction.
I’ve become rather adept at washing my hair over the kitchen sink with water heated in my tea kettle, but I’m tired of giving myself sponge baths. Our temperature high for the day is supposed to be 89°. I might stretch the water hose out along the driveway to soak up the sun, so this afternoon I could have a warm shower outside. For the neighbors’ sake, I will wear a bathing suit. Still contemplating the logistics.
Wish me luck, y’all.
Peace, people.
Ugh

Well, you can enjoy your air-conditioning at least: most people I know in Rome don’t have any (including us) 🙂

That’s what I keep thinking. I have comforts many people don’t. A little cold water won’t kill me.

This brings back some sort of memories including bath time for toddlers in buckets out back…what WAS our situation? I can’t remember…
Good luck!

That might be an interesting memory to delve into. We’ve absolutely experienced worse here after hurricanes. At least we have cold water and our electricity is on.

It certainly does make me appreciate a hot shower. I didn’t make use of the hose. My sponge bath was pretty refreshing this morning.

I can’t believe our state capital doesn’t have a plumber available. That you had to get one to come from Gainesville. At least your air is fixed because it’s just going to get hotter.

My guess is that our insurance company trusts this particular plumber. It’s going to be a big job.

The field adjuster came this afternoon. He thinks they’ll pay for half because it’s likely going to require a complete re-plumbing of the house through the walls. Still, glad we won’t be responsible for the whole bill.
