Mr. Rooter to the Rescue!

Did you know:
A pesky faucet leak can waste serious water! Just one drop per second can add up to 165 gallons per month.

I have no doubt the drip-drip-dripping shower in Marc's bathroom was flushing this much water, or more, down the drain each month. So, a couple weeks ago I made the ultimate enviro-sacrifice. While Marc went on a mammoth 6 hour mountain bike ride with a group of other pyschos, I spent my beautiful summer Saturday at home ... waiting for the plumber.

Three visits from Mr. Rooter, a new shower head, a hole in the wall of the linen closet, some sort of new valve on the pressure thing and $500 later, our bathroom is leak free!
