Day of Plumbing

We spent the entire day at our neighbor's house moving their hot water heater. They have a mold problem that has to be taken care of and to do so the hot water heater needed to be moved. They wanted to still have hot water; therefore, the sevices of Max the plumber and Donna the apprentice were called for. What we had to do was extend the copper water pipes and the gas line so the heater would function. There was a lot more involved in the project, but it was kind of fun to be an apprentice again and Max really enjoys plumbing when you don't have to crawl under the house.

The best part of the day was that Kathy and Paul brought us dinner. They arrived with a beautiful salad, baked potatoes, green beans with almonds, garlic bread and Paul bar-b-qued some great filets topped with blue cheese. It was such a treat after a hard days work (Max's aching back and my paining joints) to be treated to such a wonderful meal. Max and Paul were planning on tying flies (which they are doing as I type).

Interestingly, Darci has not had any more accidents in the house. Her blood work came back normal and so did her urine with the exception of some blood. They are doing some more checks on the urine, but it could just be that she injured herself in that "big dog" play that her and Kodi do. I know they often end up limping or sore after a good romp in the backyard. I trimmed the hair on Kodi's feet and I hope his new shoes arrive soon. I will definately get a picture of that when it happens.
