All done!

Preasure is excellent everywhere.

Relief!

The shower drain blocked while testing the shower out. I guess the lower preasure was masking how bad it was. Bit of bicarb and vinegar fixed that with the help of some plunging.

Now to go save the dog from her cousin...

They've been here since 10. All going well.

I hope they finish in time...

The electrician has drilled a hole in our driveway for the earth stake.

No chance of any existing pipe photos. Most of the existing pipes are buried and are way too hard to get out from under the house. Oh well.

Took the amp back. I wish they'd looked a bit more surprised.

The pipes, the pipes are calling...

Mogwai's being dropped at her cousin Dragon's place around 7:30.

In the middle of the day I'll be dropping my guitar amp into the music shop again. I spent $100 to get it fixed. It's worse.

It had a problem where the crunch channel would drop out completely when it got too hot. It had only happened three times. Once live. Once at a jam recently...

Anyway, jam on the weekend was almost ruined because the music shop actually made it much worse. It drops out for a few seconds every few seconds now. Obviously a loose wire or something but it's pretty crappy. They obviously didn't even check it.

Luckily the clean channel still works fine and I have my crappy new $40 distortion pedal that has one setting that almost sounds OK so we were on.
