a visitor

the other day, we had a homeschooling lesson thanks to a visit from the plumber.
Nothing was wrong, just a yearly inspection to make sure everything was ok.
He did end up finding that the drain under the kitchen sink needed replacement and He also replaced the toilet due to a build up of calcium.
So the girls got to watch him do those two things and he was really nice about telling them what he was doing. He also crawled under the house to check out the pipes under there, the girls didn't go under but they stood outside the crawlspace entrance and asked him how things were going and warned him of spiders that were lurking here and there. After he left we read a book we have called "keeping clean" it is about hygiene but it also has a real nice illustration of what the pipes look like under a house and how water gets in and out of a house. the author is Vicki Hobbs.
