Two Down, One To Go

I've been slogging away at the plumbing projects. The leaking pipe has been fixed. The main shut-off valve replaced. And a little progress on reworking the arbor plumbing as well.

The water main shut-off was fun. Couldn't turn off the water at the meter so had to install another valve after the existing shut-off valve. The original was underground level and had no handle any more. I wanted the new valve above ground so leaving the old valve in place was no problem. Getting the old pipes to cooperate was, but all ended up well in the end.

Lou's been continuing the spring cleanup and installing fake flowers everywhere. She picks up really nice fake flowers at the garage and rummage sales. She's also tweaking the fountain. For some reason water keeps disappearing from it but we can't see where it goes and it doesn't do anything when watched, just suddenly not there. Must be a giant flock of thirsty birds visiting occasionally.

The weather has been great, blossoms appearing on all the trees.
