practicing for the equinox

 The weather has taken a rather cool turn! I'd say showery too, but really just drizzle with a few heavier droplets. We've had a third of an inch this month, and some fell up in Anacortes during our visit. 


The forecast is for sub-80° weather for the next week, so outdoor work is possible. Sadly it won't be happening: a sag has appeared in our bathroom floor, and something is dripping in the area beneath that part of the house. I'm still trying to determine the best approach to the area - from beneath a layer of thick fabric hides the pipes, from the side I'm staring at a metal beam, and approaching from above may be the only sane choice. The water is tepid at best, so it's not hot water being wasted. In the meantime the water is turned off except for brief uses, and a large container holds enough to scoop out for a warm or cold drink.

I guess once it's done it will be time to redecorate the (master) bathroom with new flooring and some nice tile. This place needs work in more than one area, and it's sad to spend much on fixing small items. We do as we must.
