LEAKED

MONDAY

Both my sister's called yesterday they both loved our new home and was happy i am living rent and mortgage free.

First day off on my two week holiday
Got most of the border dug out  and have started the planting we need a little bit more wooden edging to finish of the main front edging , one of the neigh boughs opposite Ken is trading us top soil for pea gravel which is a fair exchange we have already had to mix in 550 litres of compost , and i have added  around six wheel barrows of top soil , the same Ken also lent me his pressure washer and i manage to do  all of the concrete base our home sits on and most of it came up like new i might have to go over it again tomorrow just to remove some grim dirt patches that  i did not get the first time round .All this gardening is back breaking work and to be honest  i ache all over i use to be a joiner but have not  don't any physical work for ages .

TUESDAY
Keep waking up early took the dog out to the wheat fields for her morning walk George our ginger tom cat had been out all night and was waiting by the door when i opened it .

We had water coming from under our static home i thought it might be coming from the kitchen sink so i took the panel off under the kitchen window as we are all boxed in on all sides .

 I needed to borrow a ratchet wrench and a 8mm socket  to remove the bolts eight for the metal sheet so i physically get could get under to see what was leaking , when i ran the water it was leaking the pipe ran all way under to the opposite side ,  i had to remove the opposite side panel some how the pipe and fitting had separated and all i had to do was reconnect the push fittings and  run the water leak fixed i also tied it up using tie wraps to the steel  framing the underside of the house looked really tip top condition because we are raised of the ground the water posed no threat but because it was the sink drain it did smell hopefully it will dry out ok.

everyone who as visited  us loves the layout and the space we have compared to the room we had at the cottage that we lived in for two years we have loads of out door space which is a massive bonus , we are surrounded by oak trees which are great apart from the leaves that drop we also have squirrels running over roofs fences and up and down the acorn trees .
