Thank Goodness for Husbands Who Can Fix Things

Today has been an interesting day and reminded me to be grateful for a "handy" husband. We got up this morning as usual and proceeded to get ready for the day. As the morning wore on and we used more and more water we began to notice that the water pressure was getting less and less. Jerry tried a number of things (checking pressure in the tank, checking switches, etc.) and nothing seemed to be wrong (except for the fact that we were down to barely a trickle of water). I just got a call from Jerry warning me that I may want to pick up some bottled water and use the bathroom before coming home as he was replacing the pump (this requires pulling the pump up from 110 feet down and replacing it and then reassembling the pipe as he lowers the pump back down) and it might not be finished before tomorrow morning. I asked him if he needed me to pick up parts on the way home and he said, "No, I already have the new pump and tank and I am working on getting it pulled." I paused for a moment to be grateful for a husband that can replace our pump today instead of waiting for an appointment and paying a gazillion dollars to have someone else do it. I am confident that we will be bathing and washing and flushing again tomorrow, thanks to a very handy man.
