I forgot to mention that the plumber came back on Monday, after having me wait 1/2 the afternoon on Friday before I bounced on him (ebonically, and not literally).

The part was shipped to me and he was up there in the attic in triple digit temps, I offered him water but he declined. I felt bad for the fella, and again he looked like he fell into the creek after he was finished. The cold-water chronicles have seemingly come to an end.

After all these hot days my lawn’s been quite ashy and my water pressure prevented me from really getting at it w/ the sprinklers. I finally took tools to the cutoff valve to see what would increase the pressure. I did it. I watered the from and left side for two hours, then twenty minutes later, the bottom fell out of the sky.
