New doors, new pipes


Here's a shot of our new sliding glass doors! We're thrilled with how they look and operate. The workers were very professional, and quick. Both doors were in and done in about six hours.

And if we didn't have enough house stuff to think about and do, Stace has been busy doing more irrigation/plumbing work. We had noticed over the past month that parts of our front yard lawn were yellowing. Stace tried to adjust the sprinklers, and the pressure didn't seem quite right.

Then, a few days ago, we had a stream of water flowing from where the pipes come out of the ground, near the garage. He dug it up and found that the old metal pipe, which wasn't replaced when the house had copper pipes installed, had corroded and busted.

So that explains the lack of pressure; we must have had a small leak for a while before it finally gave way.
Stace dug up the rest of the pipe and replaced it. On Sunday he tested it out, and the pressure was strong. I'm so proud of my husband! He can do anything!
