Besides the external plumbing, my 'internal' plumbing was also giving me problems (hence the bucket reference). But, I'm not dead yet!

All I can thin..."Anybody Got a Bucket??"<br /><br />All I can think of is the bucket scene in Monty Python's Meaning of Life even though that has nothing to do with your post.<br /><br />Plumbing issues are the worst. We're kinda screwed without proper water. No electricity, no prob.

Yeah, me + heat + hot flashes = don't talk to me until I've had a few ... ice baths.<br />;-)<br /><br />About the plumbing: I got it done without a concussion! We still have small leaks (NOT my fault), but it will do for now. I'm just happy I don't need rubber boots to do my dishes.00dozohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704098179400766578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1302773627138264861.post-58193963075067640322010-08-29T18:53:03.435-04:002010-08-29T18:53:03.435-04:00I think I could do Finland better than the Bahamas...I think I could do Finland better than the Bahamas.

I really didn't go anywhere, but it's been so stinkin' hot that I didn't want to sweat on my "new" keyboard and risk shorting it out (that, and the heat has left me almost brain dead lately).<br /><br />How do you not have a sink trap? - oh, wait a minute - just not a removable one, maybe? The contractors must have been Romans. Oy!<br />;-) (yeah, a little too obscure?)<br /><br />As for 'baths', our last refuge is the shower in the garage. It works, sort of, but poorly designed - like everything else, it leaks. (Geez - I'm starting to sound like Woody Allen - God help me!).<br /><br />The temp here is slooooowly dipping every night. This is a good thing. At least I don't wake up at 3am sweating my ...

Unfortunately there's no trap so God only knows where the hell it went. And no water in the pool? Boy, have you got it rough. I see from your temperature badge it's 99F there.

I suggested it may be mosquitos, but it isn't (since 'mossies' don't bite me, I wouldn't know). No worries, though. It's becoming relatively cooler at night (no "ants in the pants"). And, believe it or not, it gets - or has been getting in the past few years - quite cool down here.
