Free water
So the plumber and the contractor returned to finish up their work on our town water supply hookup on Friday, as promised. Only one problem -- the town inspector is still nowhere to be found. Clearly they didn't want to hold us up or leave us without water for a week, since the revised estimate on the town inspector's arrival is now next Thursday. So they hooked us up anyway, meter be damned, and I'm getting free town water for a week.
