Well, for anyone whose ever gone through this, you can feel our pain. Saturday evening, just as we are going to get cleaned up to go out to one of the few fun events in this town, a BBQ cook-off in the local canyons, we discover water is running outside. What do we find when we go to the source, you might ask? A FLOOD! The main pipe that runs from the city main to our house busted. Turns out it must have been leaking for quite a while, as was the city's water meter. Long story short, after getting the on-call city guys out to replace the meter late Saturday night and a night without water, Clint and his dad got everything back in working order mid-day Sunday. It was quite handy that Clint and his dad have been renting this cute little Caterpillar for work. It made quick work of the digging, although, our lovely flower garden looks like pig slop now. The pipe should be good long after we're gone as they used some special corrosion-proof, freeze-proof, unbreakable tubing. But, alas, we missed the cook-off. I guess there's always next year.
