We need the rain

It hasn't rained very much at all this month, continuing a dry trend since the beginning of summer. But today it's coming down. It started spitting a little on Sunday evening. This morning we woke up to actual rain and it seems that it will last a few hours before tapering off. That'll be good for the ground.

The plumber comes back this morning to finish the towel warmer installation. All he has to do is connect the two pipes to the main line and test the system to be sure it's working. Then there's some finish work, mainly filling and grouting where he removed old pipes and filling in the holes in the floor around the new pipes. After that, we need to talk to him about his schedule for the rest of the work, namely the new shower.
