    Since when were dogs (x3) telepathic. Having observed the timing of your most recent post I have concluded that it was made at exactly the same time as the ‘holding the breath, crossing fingers & toes & praying to the rubber gods that my efforts (& those of MrsTea) whilst uncoiling the garden hose for the testing moment of truth had been worthwhile. It should be noted that MrsTea went above the call of duty, rising from her death bed to assist in the replacing of both halves of the door this afternoon. This followed my filling & sanding efforts with Quikmetal putty yesterday which I then painted & left to dry overnight.

    Now, regardless of my mate Bob’s opinion of his mate Tony the sun shone (albeit extremely briefly) but was enough to lift my heavy heart & add a little optimism to the proceedings. (Something I cannot claim for Tony’s efforts to govern).

    The hose was in position, MrsTea turned the tap & the water ran. This continued for long enough to create yet another interior swimming pool if it was going to. We were armed with plenty of dry towels to deal with such an outcome.

    The tap was turned off, & with great fortitude on the part of us both we returned to the house for a needed cuppa, & as a means allowing the exterior to drain for a bit to be sure that when the moment of truth came we could be sure that any interior wetness was from a leak, & not drips as the door was opened. We didn’t really want to open the door, our optimism was not 100%.

    Tea consumed, we took deep breaths & once again approached the car, hearts beating with a mix of anticipation & trepidation. Gulp!

    Well folks the moment you have no doubt been waiting for, the result of the latest of a long series of attempts to beat the leak since December last.

    Did we beat the leak .......... You bloody betcha! ..... finally! Yeehaa, phew, yeehaa. Now for the test of time, will the leak free status remain. Finger will remain crossed, but less tightly now...... reckon we got it.

    Yes Clunk, I know I could have just written “No more leak” .................... but where’s the fun in that.

    You can sure hide your angst well,
    Cuppa. I had no idea that the
    blasted leak was causing you so
    much grief at Bearii.
    Now that you have the radio and
    the leak fixed, its time for another
    meet-up.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    Eagerly awaiting on chapter 2. The report from the front line.
