Day 7.134: A wet Saturday

There were a few drops of rain today, but that's not what made it wet.

When we bought this house, we gained a hot-tub which was empty and powered down. We have no idea if it was in working order before it was emptied, so it could be a liability, but the first step in finding out was to try to fill it with water.

The step before the first step was to get rid of the pool of water from the lid and then move the waterlogged (and in need of replacement if the hot-tub survives) cover.

Then step after the step before the first step but still before the first step was some cleaning.

Then came the filling.

Then came the leaking.

At some point E5N1 and Exile #4 decided to have a water fight. E5N1 took it quite seriously in terms of preparation:

That was probably wise.

Back in hot-tub land, I found the leak (from the plumbing not the structure) and we managed to find some parts (at a combination of the hot-tub store and the hardware store) and I put my best plumbing skills into action.

At least this time when my true talents were revealed I didn't flood the kitchen.

Yeah, more leaks. Maybe it will work out better second time around tomorrow.
