When it Rains it Leaks

Not our basement, though in our basement. Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been noticing water on the floor in the vicinity of our water equipment (i.e. pressure tank, conditioner, neutralizer, etc.), though I couldn’t exactly figure out where it was coming from.

Family Work Day

A while back Jeff had the great idea of getting the families together to share some work at each others places. After much coordination, the first of such days was executed this weekend.
