The photo is of two of the lovely dogs that were at the endurance ride. The top one is Caris who belongs to the couple who have been catering for these rides for over 30 years. The dachshund is Winston.
I mentioned in my last post that we had no water in the laundry. This was really puzzling as both the cold and hot water taps weren’t working. Everywhere else, we had hot and cold water as we were supposed to. It seemed odd that both lines or taps would stop together. Vince went up in the ceiling but the hot water tank and pipes all seemed okay.
Eventually I said that maybe the single outlet was blocked, rather than the two taps being at fault. Vince removed the filter at the outlet and it was totally blocked with copper residue. (Our water has quite a bit of copper in it.) We’ve left the filter out for the moment and will buy a new one in due course.
So now we have both hot and cold water in the laundry again and I’m a happy camper. Time and again, we’ve found that solutions to problems are often very simple fixes.

Cute dogs 
. Yes, most of the time, many problems have very simple solutions. When I was in college and my computer suddenly stopped working, the solution was: unplug the power cable, plug it back, start. The "complex" solution was: unplug power cable, clear any dust inside the PC unit, plug it back, start. 9 times out of 10 it worked like a charm

Everytime you figure something out you should say.."Judy does it again." Make a big show of patting yourself on the back..lol.

(whispering) Why didn't the man think of that?

Good thinking Judy on the solution to your water problem! Is having so much copper in your water a problem for you at all? Does it pose any health risks?

@JudyEv As a swimming pool operator, I know all about controlling the pH of water! Thankfully, we don't have a lot of copper in our water, because I know how bad the staining can be!

You just have to think things through really don't you?

For a brief moment I thought perhaps you had rescued the dogs. You and Vince make a good team.

The dogs were at the ride. There were some others too including a cute little puppy.

Sometimes the whole roof is brought down and measures employed to get something working only to realise the switch was off (lol)
The dogs seem to be well fed
