well today there was another repair person in the house…

we had ordered a tushy to put on the toilet, but when he hooked it up my grandson encountered a leak he could not figure out how to fix…

we contacted NextGen who have recently located to a shop at Bruce and Albany…

Tony arrived just ninety minutes later and had the leak fixed and a second problem in the kitchen sorted out inside forty-five minutes…

he was a knowledgeable technician, explained as he went along, and cleaned up all the mess before he left…

now I have a fan blowing into the cabinet and am waiting for the space under the sink to dry out so I can put everything back;-)…

thanks to a suggestion from a friend, we picked up some porcelain filler for the stove and basement pedestal sink…

after sanding, painting, re-sanding, and drying a number of times, the stove looks great… can’t spot the fix unless you get real close and know where to look…

sadly, I forgot to get a before picture…

the sink is taking a bit more time…

but coming along nicely…

three things caused problems on Saturday… the sink leaked, the internet stopped working, and my tv lost its signal…

made me rather grumpy, particularly as I was trying to help someone with something online…

today my son-in-law and grandsons came over for supper and for the middle one to mow my grass… he also moved and filled all the bird feeders…

while they were here my son-in-law fixed three things, which made me very happy…

he installed a new pump and got the waterfall running… he fixed the small pump in the garage pond and it is running beautifully… and he figured out the problem with my sink and got it working… what a treat…

I truly am blessed;-)…

today the kids came for lunch rather than our usual dinner…

early this week my son-in-law came over and fixed the garage door… he had to put on a new strike plate… he had added a bar in the summer when the door latch wasn’t quite catching…  

a week or so ago I heard something fall to the ground but I didn’t see what actually fell and then when I arrived home later I realized that the door wouldn’t stay closed… the bar had fallen off… I texted him and he came by that night on his way home from work…

had thought he might wait until it was light out, but he got it fixed no problem, even though it was dark…

today he cleaned the drain in the bathroom sink… appeared it was filled with my daughters’ hair… took quite a while but eventually he got it fixed and all back together…

his final project was to check out the internet and wi-fi… think he might have got that working better too…

we also spent a lot of time playing Pokémon… twice while they were here one of them ran out to catch Pokémon close by, lol…

the little guy seemed to be doing yoga poses at one point…

my daughter and I spent some time looking at the information about the hotel and city we are going to visit next month… should be fun…

everyone enjoyed the meal… we had ground beef and shrimp tacos… very tasty… and we had a fun visit…

now for some tv…
