What is....

..... Squeegie doing?
Well - it's  a long story!  When we arrived back home after our winter in Florida, Kev-Inn was already at our house awaiting our arrival.  The house looked perfect and we were happy to be there after our long road-trip.  But........ Kev-Inn told us he had turned the water off as there appeared to be a leak from the second floor bathroom.  On no!  Since we have another couple of bathrooms in the house, there was no great urgency, but Poppa knew it had to be investigated.  First, the water was coming through the little pantry in the kitchen on the main floor - so he took out all the stuff from my pantry and piled it on the dining room table.  He did this while I was at work, and I couldn't believe I had that much stuff in that little pantry!  Anyway, he determined that there was water leaking around the base of the toilet, which meant.......
.... taking some clothes from the closet in the master bedroom and piling them on the bed in the spare room..........
.... then cutting a hole in the closet wall to expose the plumbing in the bathroom.  Poppa found a small leak around the tub taps, but just a dribble - not enough to explain the water problem.  He fixed it and moved on.......
.... under Squeegie's watchful eye...........
....... and began to dis-assemble the toilet.  In the picture, he is removing the water from the bowl.
.... and once he had the base off, it became clear that the wax seal had deteriorated to the point of leaking.  Which meant......
.... Squeegie had more supervising to do!
