ThongTastic Thursday Washington, Tim, Wayne, Steve and all the crew. It looks to be a nice day in my woods with plenty of sun and about 75°. It is my weekend eve starting about 1730.
Tim, that looks like a expensive piece of hardware! LOL Many a little quick job turns out to a major project for me!
The pressure regulator is doing it's job with about a 60psi drop.

Evening Tim and Wayne. Put a new kitchen faucet on this morning. I guess I really don't like laying on my back under the sink with the hips drooping down to the floor trying to bend your back the way it is not supposed to go. This afternoon I started moving the stove out from it place in the back room to replace the thimble. We don't use it much with the wood furnace, but it is nice to have on chilly mornings for little fires to make the Mrs. warm vs. lighting a bigger fire in the furnace and making the whole house too warm.

Good morning guys,
Worked again yesterday on the community water system, we found the end of the main line where the last customer taps off of it. No leaks but we did clean up some old connections and found a main line valve that was in good shape and put a new tube over that.
Then we moved up the line and after exposing about 35' of line we finely found the road crossing, the valve is non functional, but still no leaks.
We are going to replace that valve this morning, I believe we have all the main line valves and connections located now. Well, maybe. There still could be one or even two taps between the last main line valve and the last customer.
I feel good that we have those two valves located, it will give us two more locations to isolate.

Fantastic Friday morning Washington, Tim, Wayne and all the crew. It is the weekend eve and almost time to start the party! Another beautiful day in my woods at about 78° and mostly sunny. Tomorrow will be a repeat of today but in the low 80's and then rain moves in Sunday and pretty much stays the next 14 days according to the Soothsayers crystal ball predictions.
Glad you are finding all the stops in the line and by now you should be narrowing down the area of the leak!
Off to do our Friday shopping routine shortly and some other running around. The maybe find the correct breaker and replace the 30+ year old outlet!

Maria and I worked together today and replaced the spur line valve .
Preliminary test shows that we have a small leak between the main line valve we found yesterday and the end customer about 85'.
