Nice toy for you pup Okie. Maybe you should get one like this for when uninvited people show up....

, that would get more than a few glances if you could get the dog to carry it around while out for a walk!

 

LOL, uninvited are rare, there is signs on the gate deterring such. Any city slickers would likely put it in reverse and make tracks. One sign says I can make it to the gate in 3 seconds, can you , with a very like her picture.

 

Yeah but where's the straw?

 

Well we just got a wake up call. Our water bill was higher than normal and some of you may know we had a leak at the service connection at the street a couple of years ago. We get 10K gallons a month as a base, and we used 11K last month, June 15 to July 15. Normally we use 6/8K. So we had the city guy come out and he says we've already used 11K since the 15th of July. 18 days.
The last break was right at the meter, and the meter is very close to the road. I've always wondered if a big truck could drive over the meter and flex the pipe enough to break it. But the city says any breaks past their meter are our problem.
Last time we did insurance to pay for the problem and afterward found out that because of the claim we couldn't find other insurance when we thought ours was too high.
I'm pretty sure the leak is not in the house. No toilets running, no faucets dripping, no water in the basement where the heater is.
So here I am wondering what to do if the break is back at the water meter.

 

Didn't have one when I got it, as a matter of fact, it didn't have a cap or nozzle. the one on it is from another aerosol that fit and worked

Not a good problem. Hope you can find the issue. how deep is the water line? Is the ground getting wet and soggy up to the house? Good luck with getting it resolved.

 

well that just sucks...
