As you know, G is in Kenya right now (he’s doing well and they are having a great trip!), and his very gracious mom flew in to help me with the girls for most of the time he is gone. We’ve been busy and are having lots of fun trying to keep our cooped-up/cabin- fevered little ones entertained until the weather warms up and dries out again.
One unexpected challenge that popped up right away was a problem with our shower. It went from a normal, nice shower to a trickle within minutes. After a phone consultation with G’s dad, we tried a few things, went to two hardware stores, made a purchase, took the old shower head apart, soaked it in vinegar just in case it was plugged (it wasn’t), figured out a teeny, tiny little part inside of the head was broken, installed a new shower head, and felt quite proud that these two Austin women diagnosed the issue and repaired the problem on our own. Seriously, we were VERY proud of ourselves.
We had to use tools and everything.
Ta-dah!!
(And, no, I’m not a giant who has to bend over the shower. I was balancing precariously on the edge of the tub to showcase our work.)
Oh. So. glad. we were able to figure this out!
So . . . if you have an issue exactly like this one, feel free to give the Austin girls a call. We’ll be delighted to swing by and help you out. We know how important a good shower can be.
