It all started with a leak in the valve to turn on the water a few weeks before that. John and Chad got busy on plugging the leak...
As you can see there is a wine cork plugging the hole!
They also had to stop the leaking from above because we couldn't leave the water turned off as we share upstairs and downstairs neighbors while they were looking for replacement parts.
For some reason even after they fixed the leaking problem we were getting some really low pressure water that would eventually just stop. We couldn't figure our what it was?!
Chad eventually removed the old shower head and made the coolest make-shift shower head that I had to show you!
It worked really well! I loved it! I was actually a little sad to see it go! We used it for a least a week... maybe longer. The only advantage to the replacement 'real' shower head is that you can remove it and direct the water as needed. (which is a nice feature when you always have cold water!)
Chad isn't an engineer by trade, but you can see why John and him get along so well since they both have that kind of problem-solving mind!
Update on my health: I actually slept fairly decently for 4ish hours last night which felt GREAT! (The last few nights were not so lucky!) My nose is still stuffy but I feel like I may be on the mend!
Also, I added a feature to my blog that you can subscribe via email and it will send you a email whenever I post a new blog. I figured it might be a little easier for some of you that don't use google reader or other RSS feeds.
