Monday

We are still without water. At least today he did the work without drinking... He used to know how to sweat copper but he no longer remembers. Kept cutting pieces and adding couplings. Finally at 11 he took it all to pieces and tried to cap it off. It still leaks... I have been putting off stepping in. I haven't done that work for well over 20 years. I looked up how it's done to refresh my memory. I tried to nicely tell Nabal where he was going wrong. Nabal kept saying there was something wrong with the solder, the pipes, the couplings. Never even considered that he was doing it all wrong. He was using the torch to melt the solder on a cold pipe. Tomorrow I'll get it done. Damn, a waste of copper...
