So we arrived home tonight to find water all over our back patio. Again.
The culprit this time was the tap at the back corner of the patio, which is conveniently located above Badger's water bucket (and about 3 feet from the new hole in our paving). For some reason, it's picked right now as a good time to start leaking. Has never leaked before. It had spent all day running, had filled up the bucket, then continued to flood out over the patio.
So - off went the water, and out came the plumbing tools again. At least I knew where they all were without needing to look.
At least this was an easy repair. A quick valve seat grind, a new valve and washers, and the tap is back to working like a brand new one again.
But it's starting to make me nervous as to whether we're going to find something else broken every night this week? At least so far all our water issues have been outside...
