The home insurance rep came by the house the other day to 'check it over'. He was an older guy, kinda ruff looking and had an awesome Aussie accent. I was outside talking the talk with him and had to fight the urge to start speaking in an Australian accent. I had to catch myself twice.
I used to telemarket in college for the Pensacola Police. I would get so bored doing that job that I would often just start altering my voice as the night went on. I may even have whipped out Arnie on one occasion. I just remember loosing my accent on more than once occasion. Shakes head ( man that was baaad)
My pool has been losing water now for a couple of weeks. I had a home warranty guy come by and he explained that the drain on the bottom of my pool is disconnected from the system , but they didn't cap it off. He forced water through a pipe and you could see dirt distortion coming from the drain. So the idea is that the leak could be in that pipe that leads away from the drain.
So he says, you need to dive to the bottom, take the 2 philips screws off the drain cover and then install the plug, maybe two. He suggested that some people use a garden hose as a make shift breathing tube. I'm not a good swimmer by any stretch and holding my breath under 8 feet of water for a few minutes? I'm almost better off trying to run a sub 6 mile. Anyway, I tried my hardest, but only got a couple of turns on one screw. And breathing through a garden hose is hard on land!
I called the pool company and they sent this really big walrus looking guy to dive into my pool....with scuba gear. The pool company said their dive guy has been backed up with jobs for a while. WTF is going on with pools here?!! Anyway, cross my fingers that the leak was in that drain pipe and not in some other pipe or worse yet hidden in my pool structure.
