We struggled for a few days with water problems, as we turned on the water spigot in the house, and only a few trickles came out. Bob recognized it was not a water shortage for our 3-house compound when he climbed up to the water tank and found it full. *sigh*
The other 2 houses within our walls had water. . .so we knew something was wrong in this house’s water line. Thus, Bob got to use a car battery and the 12-volt water pump that he brought with us back in 2006 to pump water from the main tank into the house tank. Sure, it is only a temporary solution until a fundi (fix-it man) can come and help us in a few days, but at least we have water in the meantime!
So we congratulate Bob, our own creative repairman, who came up with a temporary way to overcome. The tank is filled, for the time being, and we can wash some dishes, take baths, and wash the floors. Thank you, Bob!
