We had an insulation contractor come today and button up a few areas of our house that needed it. My picture today was going to be of that process … insulation-blowing tubes running all over the place, guys carrying bats of insulation, etc.
But they also managed to knock into the pipe that feeds water into our house and cause it to spring a leak! Totally not their fault — it had been “temporarily” repaired previously and was ready to go at any minute. Fortunately the town came out and was able to do another temporary fix (for free!). This was really more excitement than I really needed today.
At some point — could be next year, could be 10 years from now — we will need to have the front lawn ripped up and the whole pipe replaced. But for now I say — thanks Newton Public Works!
